Regarding suggestion of mmichaelski, I tried your suggestion; but it froze my internet browser. Isn't there an easier way to bring up those pesky "bluebook"...
The only way to get the full response is to open the pages from the original web site, because there are a number of pictures and other 'objects' referenced...
Hi, There's another way that might be much easier and might work better.... Go to www.archive.org and use the Wayback Machine you'll find there. It will take...
Hi All, I have noted the recent discussions about the old Photography Blue Book files I posted to the group many years ago having saved the pages in the dial...
Unless one actually wants the opinions from those blue book Konica pages - which I thought were fairly useless - it seems to me that other sites like Buhla's...

Sorry to intrude here but I had a request from a list member to give some details on a battery issue regarding the 8AA cell Agfatronic 643CS. I responded to...
Hi, Craig, I have a 643CS (actually I have three of them, but who's counting?). It's a great flash, but I almost never use it. If you use it with the bracket,...
I just saw a Tokina RMC 35-105 3.5-4.3 with a K/Ar mount, listed on e- Bay. Can anybody give me a filter size or weight for this lens? Secondly, how does it...
I am rebuilding my enlarger for 35mm film and as I have a surplus Hexanon 50mm lens am wondering if this would make a good enlarger lens. I guess I would hve...
... Won't the focusing ring be ... ummm, don't know how to say it. Would you put the focus on the closest setting or farthest setting? I have a Componon 50mm...
A lens designed for enlarging is usually designed to be a Flat Field lens AFAIK, whereas a camera lens is a 3D lens this technique is what the early Leica ...
Turning the focusing ring moves the whole lens package, just like when you focus using the enlarger's bellows. I think lenses for cameras and lenses for...
... It's possible, however it's not the best way to do it, the best way is with a proper enlarging lens, enlarging lenses are designed for a flat field, with...
Hi, My film counter has recently stopped working, the little glass bubble you look through had fallen/jammed between the counter and the top part of the frame....
Hi Matt It depends on your budget, really. TC's are ten a penny on auction sites - I bought a very nice one a while ago for £2.50! They are good cameras,...
... Correct, Erik. Normal lenses are optimized for infinity focus and enlarging lenses are optimized (although not always) at around 1:10. Other areas of...
I haven't used the T3N much, but I have used the T2 and T3 extensively. My FT-1 recently needed some help from Greg Weber after some fifteen years of use on...

Can anyone give an opinion on the FS1, I have to replace my old TC, (meter gone) and want to stay with Konica as I have so many lenses/ accessories. Alan...

I would add one thing to that. If you need automatic winding and if the amount of noise the camera makes matters to you, go with the FT-1. The FC-1 winder is...
Alan, The FS-1 is a great little camera. It does have a reputation for burning up circuit boards. However, there are 3 "versions" of the FS-1 and the last...
... A better lense would be a macro lense. Macro lenses are optimized for a flat field, which is just what an enlarger is. Also, a longer lense might be more...
One more thing: Would you attempt repairing the camera yourself? I have the factory repair manual for the TC. If you like I can scan an exploded view that will...
Hi Matt, I agree with previous posters about viewfinder brightness. F models, from the FS-1 to the FT-1, are all a bit brighter when compared side-by-side to...
