Happy New Year to everyone from Tokyo! Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with the "PRO" brand of lenses? I recently purchased an A1000 camera and...
... Photographic Research Organization as I remember was the brand name shortend to PRO of a buying group. any store willing to pay the fee could have their...
Scott, I owned one of these and sold it about 18 monthes ago. The reason I sold it was because I also owned a Hexanon 2.5, a 3.2, and a 3.5 at the same time....
Hi I bought two zoom Hexanon recently, a 35-70/3.5-4.5 and a 80-200/4.5. I know these are not the top of line Konica zoom lenses, and I had this feeling that...
Hi again, Listers! Thank you Craig Schroeder and "lulalake_1999", for your help! Yes, it is Diafine and FP4+, my mistake. Glad to hear they both are still...
childbrainjill, The 35-70mm f3.5-4.5 is not a bad little lens. The f4 and f3.5 are maybe a little better. Not much difference as far as I could tell. Very...
Hi Gary, I've always been curious about the Vivitar Series 1 135/2.3 also. At one point I owned the Vivitar Series 1 200/3 which I think is a similar design. A...
Hi Hugo, ... ASA 125 classic Ilford B&W film is FP-4+. Pan-F+ is rated at ASA 50 only. Back then in the early 80s, it will have been FP-4 and Pan-F (without...
... Thank you, Craig, for the formula! I'll print it and will put it in a safe place, just in case I need it sometime in the future. Re. the printing of...
Craig, that is a spectacular example! This from a 35mm neg? Do you mix your own HyperCat, or is it available commercially? I've just blown an hour or two...
Thanks Patrik, There are some nice shots. My favorite is one of the two taken with the Hexaon 85/1.8. I didn't realize there were two images there until I...
Hi Jason Thanks for the hint. I agree, i like it better as well... i like cute japanese girls! And the 85mm is my favourite amongst the Hexanon lineup. ...
She sure looks different between the 2 pics. I like the second one, better, too. Steve O Patrik Maechler <patrik.maechler@...> wrote: Hi Jason Thanks for...
Might anyone need a couple size 223 6V lithium batteries? Obviously this is for a more modern camera so that is why this post is OT. I accidentally bought...
I'm on vacation and I placed a modest bid on that Vivitar 135mm lens Series 1. Guess not to many bid on it. I think it was a fair price. I liked my 135mm 3.2...
... If i decipher it right, the film used is written on bottom of the japanese text. Strange enough, at the 85mm pics it says KONICA JX200 which is a APS film?...
... Thanks Patrik, however the mystery even deepens then? How did the photographer use that lens on an APS camera and where's Nancy Drew when you need her?? ...
Hello group My name is Jim Hopper and I am new to the group. I have two Konica FC-1 cameras and two FT-1 cameras with various lenses. One of my FTs has dirt...
Jim, Is it dirt on the bottom of the focusing screen above the mirror, dust in the viewfinder or a black streak down the center of the viewfinder? As Always, ...
childbrainjill, The 35-70 3.5-4.5 contains plastic elements (and body) which reduces its weight. It is supposed to deliver decent images. I have one also but...
I decided to 'let go' of two of my Konica Hexanon AR lenses; The 28/1.8 lens is in mint condition - no even minor marks of use, clean, A+ condition. Comes with...
