Chris, A few years back I got a Vivitar 3X stuck on my T1. Fortunatly for me the 3X got the worst end of the deal. Since then I stick with the Hexanon 2x if I...
thanks for the words of encouragement, dave. it's a parts body now: the spanner screws at the film advance and shutter delay levers both snapped off at the...
Damn! That's all too common on T4s, Chris. Those pin-headed screws were designed by - well - a bunch of pinheaded engineers! They made em with brass, for one...
Boy, it would be a shame to throw out an otherwise good, working T-4. Had it been updated to 1.5v Ag2O? I think what Alan suggested is a possibility - if you...
Hi to all, I have just acquired a Vivitar 100-300mm f/5.0 lens in excellent shape. It is a lens made by Tokina in the early 1970's I believe, and has a TX...
... High 80's? That's a nice cool day in Northeastern Mexico (Tamaulipas) and Southeastern USA (Texas). At this moment 3:03 pm, Saturday, 2/Jun/07; we have an...
... SNIP ... nipping at ... down ... coming. ... That's it? Eighties? It's nipping at 100F here, and we'll hit 45 or 46C in July, and this is Canada! (OK, it's...
JJG, I emailed you two files, off list. Instructions #1, and pictures #2. Kindly provided to me by Mike Michaelski, I believe. If you receive them, please...
Hi Steven, Thank you (and Mike) very much for the TX mount instructions. I followed them carefully, and got the lens to operate up to and including aperture...
Hi Jean-Jacques, It might be that the TX mount for K/AR actually isn't designed for any smaller than f16, even though f22 shows on the lens barrel. This was...
Hi JJG and Alan, I dug out my TX-K/AR combo. I've not used it. Mine is mounted on an f4-22 lens. Looking thru the lens, it closed the blades every notch,...
alan, that's a good tip, thanks. i figured to do a fix like yours, but there's merit to your suggestion, especially if this t4 has trade in value. then...
Hi: Does anyone have any of the Autoreflex T repair manuals? I have come across a few along the way, but many are function specific sections (like shutter and...
i know i have to mix, etc., but what about during the flushing step? i'm staying in the southwest right now, on someone else's hospitality to boot, and i'd...
Somewhere on the innernet, there are Ilford instructions on how to conserve h2o when washing. There's an actuall name for the method which I do all the time...
Chris; If I am reading you correctly when you mention the 'flushing step' you mean washing the negs after the Developer, stop, and fix and not a Bathroom...
... Please correct this, it means you'll use ten thousand liters to wash the film. :-) (One american gallon is almost four liters, do the math). Best regards. ...
You can find the instructions on the Ilford Website, just download the processing instructions for any Ilford film:In summery though - for non hardening...
Hi Steven, Mike, and Alan, Thank you very much for your help. It is greatly appreciated. I managed to get the lens to operate over the entire range of aperture...
thanks so much for the replies. i was hoping that something along those lines would be feasible. eric, hugo, thanks for the comic relief. and thanks for the...
GH, I have ones covering the T-II, T-3, T-4/TC, FC-1, FP-1, FS-1, FT-1, and the TC-X. Most of the factory manuals are not much more than glorified parts...
Wow, Mike, that looks like a great project! I can understand that it's a long, slow project, but one that will certainly be welcomed when completed. Thanks! pk...
Hi Mike I have an FT 1 that does everything but fire the shutter when the button is pressed. I can mechanically trip the shutter from the underside of the...
I had almost all of my Konica collection stolen. Is this an appropriate place to list what was stolen for everyone to keep an eye out for it? David Vanderburg...
Dan, The answer is a resounding maybe! The manual would probably help you find the fix that specific problem, but you might need a part and thus be no better...
Thanks Is the manual available on line ? ... ____________________________________________________________________________________ It's here! Your new message! ...
