I agree with Allen. Things are not likely to change, and any break-off group is not likely to be successful. This group is becoming less and less Konica...
yep, the lens mount question has always been a big one, and became even more so once camera makers started offering the full range of very wide to long/ultra...
... participant and visit the group less often. ... Hi Denis, I sincerely hope not. This is still one of those rare places we can discuss newer topics - even...
Alan: It's not just me. :-) I've noticed when I've returned after being away awhile that you don't post nearly as often here as you once did. :-) But I agree...
Hi All, ...in the viewfinder. By that I was referring to the question I posted on Feb. 20th "who and what are we as a group" ...and the answer was and remains:...
Hi Erik, ... I'm not sure if I understand correctly what you mean... On the 57/1.2? In general? All my 57/1.2, including the oldest, all-metal, all-black,...
Speaking of the Hexanon 57mm f/1.2, it has always been my favorite lens, for a variety of reasons. Filling out my five favorite Hexanon lenses would be: 200mm...
... This is one reason I spun off a digital group, it's to allow our community, to have somewhere else to discuss stuff that is really new technology, ...
My $0.02: 35mm f2 50mm f1.7 (T3 version) 85mm f1.8 135mm f3.2 80-200mm f3.5 (2 touch) I like the 57 1.2 but find it bulky and not as good overall as the 50...
Hi, Philip: As I said, the 57mm f/1.2 is a favorite for many reasons, once of which is just sentimentality. It was the first Hexanon lens I owned, so it's an...
Hi, My favorite Hexanon is the 85mm, I use it all the time for basketball pics. I like the 50mm 1.7 & 1.4 and the 57mm 1.4 (I do admit that I have few Hex....

Hi everyone, I just received a gift of an LBW-10 filter for my 28mm lens and I have to confess that I do not know or remember what it is used for. Would...
... Hexanon ... My all time favorite Hexanon is the 85mm f/1.8. Other favorites are the 135mm f/3.2, 24mm f/2.8, 28mm f/1.8 UC, and the 80-200mm f/4 UC. My...
Hi Bob, I did some Googling and found photos of a Kenko LBW-10 filter, but no detailed descriptions. If it's a deep yellow or orangish filter like I saw, I...
Hi Alan, Like you I Googled for the information but found none, at least you found some photos of the one I have and it is orange in color. I have not used...
Alan, Thank you for another thoughtful, intelligent post. I have been on this group and 1/2 dozen yahoo.groups for nearly 3 years now. Of my groups this one...
Alan/Bob, This is a stupid question from an OLD B&W amateur, but do amber or yellow filters have any use with any panchromatic film? I remember using a yellow...
I'm not Alan or Bob, but yellow & red filters are used with B&W films to increase contrast... ... -- Scott [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Philip: I seriously doubt that, but it is both strange and funny that on the introduction of the new konicaphile group this group is called "infamous," which...
Don't know about being younger (I'll be 61 in May), but as Scott says red & yellow filters, as I suppose the subject LBW-10 orange filter, are used for...
I haven't looked at the new group yet, but I would bet the comment in question was just a light-hearted jab at the digital reactionaries. There were some...
I agree with Alan. During a quick INTERNET search, I've seen LBW-2, 4 & 10 filters. Can't yet find any specifics on the filters, but since orange filters...
my experience with black and white film, is that the orange filter will give you a more dramatic effect than the yellow. (the blue sky will be darker)but not...
I just turned 68 last week, I think, and some of my memories were taken through a tripod mounted hexanon lens all sharp and crystal clear, some were taken ...
What I suspect is that it was just a mistaken understanding of the term. I think what he was trying to say was that the Konica SLR site is not quite famous in...
