Hello to all. I'm new to the group and new to the Konica SLRs. I've just bought a T3N from Greg Weber (nice guy) and am putting it through its paces. One...
Hi and welcome to the group. The answer is yes and no! The T3N does not have a mirror lock-up mechanism as such, but if you use the timer delay, its mechanism...
Just wanted to let everyone know that I picked up some Konica Minolta film from my local Dollar Tree store for a $1 a roll....ASA 200-24 exp rolls print...
I use a cheap 55mm threaded rubber lens hood on the 40, 50, 55 and it works great. just my opinion. ... camera...with my ... there have ... release is ... ...
Shooting kids (which I do) means I cannot use mirror lock-up as implemented by the T3N in practice because I am looking to release the shutter to capture...
Interesting. I did think I saw 1.4x converters in the past on ebay in a konica mount. Yes, I know Konica didn't make a 1.4x, but I thought Soligor and Tokina...
Alan, You are always full of such good information. Thanks for all your contributions to this group. I stand corrected. The third party teleconverters are...
Hi Jules, Konishiroku (and later Konica) made an interesting range of lenses in LTM (L-mount) in the 1950s and 60s They are relatively rare and generally very...
Technically speaking, and I think Alan probably mentioned this, they were all made by the same manufacturer - probably Kiron - and it is very high quality...
Can you elaborate Paul on how it is you want to use MLU while shooting kids... I guess I ask because whenever I want MLU the delay is entirely appropriate as...
Dear Phillip, All I was saying is that the self-timer feature of the MLU implementation doesn't let me anticipate facial expressions and capture at that...
Hi, Paul, First, thanks for the compliment, but I'm just a hack compared to a lot of folks there. Most are with Konica cameras. What was not taken with...
Hi Philip, Tim, Paul, et al... Interesting subject... Using MLU for people portraiture? Personally I can't imagine ever using it that way, no matter how MLU is...
... I was sure, I read that this is how Avedon photographed "The American West". I read something about the assistant working with him. He set up the...
I spent quite a bit of time and energy dealing with these issues when tripod hunting for my P67's. As the big Pentax mechanicals are a good exaggeration of 35...
Scott..thanks for the tip on the Konica/Minolta film; I snagged a few rolls myself (20 and may even get a few more) this afternoon at the Dollar Tree store;...
There's a thread going on in another forum on this with mixed opinions. I personally just store mine in the fridge...That way I don't have long to wait to...
You might look out for a Tamron SP 300/f5.6 macro lens. It is pretty lightweight and is good optically. Also focuses quite close. Tamron also made an SP...
Hey everyone, Two questions: 1) When using extension tubes with auto flash (like a Vivitar 283) how can you calculate the adjustment for the f-stop setting?...
Dear Alan, You are right... I just assumed I would get a sharper photo with MLU even with portraits with fast 1/125s and greater shutter speeds. I didn't...
My "new" Autoreflex T arrived today..it really looks great (to me, anyway)...three pictures attached. It feels solid and so right in the hands. Seems to work...
... Not even all slow speeds, 10 sec to 1/30 sec are about the only ones affected, longer then 10 sec, and the vibration time period is such a short part of...
That they did...I have an Auto S2 that is really sharp...Had to replace the light seals, but that was an easy job...I carry it around with B&W film.... ... -- ...
I've run across a hexanon 135 mm f2.5 for sale. How does this compare to the 135mm f3.2. I have the 3.2 and love it. What would be a going price for a f2.5? ...
