Hi, New to the group and looking at maybe getting a K-3. I was just wondering what the MAXIMUM speed of the K-3 might be? I don't mean sync or anything, I know...

The mount does not move at all, just the bayonet lens. The movement is up and down only. Can the bayonet mount be adjusted somehow so the lens fits nice and...
Hi All, Im a new member of the group and thinking of getting myself a K-3 as my first foray into 16mm filming. Can you please tell me of which model would be...
I used the K-3 as a springboard from video to 16mm. We took a K-3, a couple of M42 lenses and 30 daylight spools to Africa last Summer. Now I've got 3 Eclair...
my main advice is to have realistic expectations about what the camera can do and can't do (like sync sound), and buy a good light meter. jeff. ... ...

Hi I'm also new to the World of the K-3 I have a couple more newbie questions. What do you mean by tap your mag? Is this putting tape around the case of the...
TAPE YOUR MAG: Yes, black gaffer's tape around the area where the body and cover plate meet. Two reasons: 1) a cheap way to get a measure of protection from an...
