I have a Series 1 35-85 f2.8 that I like so far, but it is a BEAST! 72mm filters, and the glass is that big! Also, it's a varifocal, not sure how old your son...

I have owned the Vivitar Series 1 2.8-3.5/28-90mm, but sold it when I could purchase the 2.8/35-85mm which I consider to be the better one of these two. The...
I got a Tokina AT-X 28-85/3.5-4.5 off eBay after getting advice from this group. Although I haven't really pushed it to its limits, I can testify to it being a...
Following was an email that I sent to someone at Olympus yahoo group about vintage lenses. I thought I should share with you at the Konica group. I am...
Bear with me a moment . . I recently got a Mamiya 28mm SX lens in hopes that it might fit on my EOS 30D. Drat! The registry of the lens is too short for the...
In the "PHOTOS with normal lenses" bin are a couple of shots I took when it finally stopped raining here. Shot on Konica 200 VX (from my favorite $tore) in an...
Many thanks to all...I took all ideas and am pleased to report they worked perfectly. In the back of my mind I was always concerned about those newer lenses,...
Hey guys I'm streamlining my gear bag and I thought I'd start with the list below. I'm saving to buy the OLY E500 that my other Hexanon ARs will mount too. 1)...
Hi, Marlon, For what most Konica gear is bringing these days on ebay, you might be better off just keeping the gear and using it as paper weights. Just this...
On Friday, Kodak announced a 35 cent per share loss for the quarter. Wall Street expected only a 5 cent loss. Kodak also said they were lowering their...
... Well, a member of the list was selling a 70-150 Kiron. It had no takers at just $19! I had one of those in Nikon mount and is one of my best lenses. I'm...
Hi there, does anybody know these two items which I've seen on ebay? #120111819092 is an angle finder with a Konica tab on, but looks different from any Konica...
Hello; I've been reading some of the postings in this group and found the information to be very helpful in the past. Can you please help me with a problem...

Now, there's a fellow who knows how to appreciate the value of Konica stuff... Did you see the asking price for that FS-1? (Gulp!!) I wish I could do that...
Hi Andreas, What seems very strange to me about this angle finder is why the name Konica is placed on it in this way. If this finder were attached to any...
For what it's worth. If all your other lenses focus properly and the photos are sharp when the focusing screen shows they are in focus, then the camera would...
I have been listening to quite a few members about the adaptation of 35mm to digital . Along the way I keep thinking why ? Then I go pick up a good 35mm zoom...
Barry, Gary and others, Does the Tamron 500 mirror use a filter in back like the Sigma 600's?? Is a rear filter necessary in this lens? Is there a rear filter...
Hi Gary, I've used the Tamron SP 500 a lot, on various Konica including the T4. In fact, I'd rate it as one of the best mirror lenses I've used (out of maybe a...
Hi - And thanks for the information. The Lens says Adaptall-2 and the adapter says Adaptall-2. I have another Adaptall adapter that I can try. I appreciate...
