But his other auction is the chrome T3N with the 57mm/1.2 Hexanon lens he makes reference to in the last sentence. Rob _____ From: konicaslr@yahoogroups.com...
Okay, Got some results back, and they are very pleasing to the eye. It allows me to shoot into the light without the flare that was present before the hood...
Last time I used the T4 was about 3 months ago. I left it in the bag with all the lenses, and today, as I picked it up for some shoting, I found that the...
I own 40/1,8 and that is very sharp lens, but contrast is too low. I know, that 40/1,8 has no spacial hood. Have you any idea, which hood can I use? Thanks...
In addition to the clamp on 35mm hood - a good idea in my opinion - there was also a screw on hood made labelled 40 1.8/50 1.4/57 1.2 I believe. The clamp on...
Hugo, We could go into ways to get your T4 firing again but truth be told it was made in 1978. 30 years is a looong time for a machine. You'll never trust it...
I've got a metal Konica hood marked 40mm 50mm 85mm on one of mine. It's quite compact and likely doesn't really help too much. Personally, I've not been a...
A favorite old FT-1 started to misbehave recently. The diodes give a low battery signal (alternating from the low dots to 22) and the diode that indicates...
... Hi, I agree with other responses, yes there is a 40mm specific hood. (However, sorry to say, it won't fit the 57/1.2 which requires a 62mm thread.) If I...
It does sound like it's due for a CLA. If the meter is working well, that and possibly new light seal foams are likely all it will need. You should probably...
Hi Craig, Just going from aging memory here, I think unfortunately that might indicate a problem on one of the circuit boards. Bummer if that's the case. I...
Might be a bad board, but before you send it in, look over the battery holder really well and see if there are any cracks or disconnects in the contacts. One...
$hit yeah - of course it won't. Should've remembered that little tidbit about the larger diam filter ring on the 57. I think Craig said it right - it's a...
Hey List, Do we have a ranking of lenses anywhere here? I have seen the old Modern Photography tests, just wondering if someone has their own opinions or maybe...
Philip, Maybe you were not so wide off the mark. I have a hood for the 85/1.8 which is also marked 57mm F1.4 (plus 52mm F1.8). It should work a lot better for...
How much would you like for the NIB NT3 body. fmccaslin@... wrote: Dave, Appears to be a T3 although the auction states it is a T3-N.? Looks very nice in...
... Hi Dave, There are a large number of excellent Hexanons. In fact, in their day most of the primes were as good or better than anyone else's. Many still...
Dave - look back, probably almost a year ago now, and see the flurry of posts that started with one of mine as far as what lenses to pick up. The group was...
For reference sake, it would be nice to use Panatomic-X film, exposed at 400 and developed per the Modern Photography procedures (this was to prevent grain...
While I was stationed in Japan in the early 70s, I purchased a lens test book that was published by the Mainichi News Corporation. Â The book included tests on...
Hi everyone, I was greatly saddened yesterday to learn of the passing of Herbert Keppler, of Modern Photography and, later, Popular Photography. I had great...
I have a Hexanon from the 1950's, 50mm f1.9 but in Leica screw thread 39mm. It came with a broken Leica IIIc which I have since had CLA'ed. The lens is tack...
I have been reading Mr. Keppler's columns since I first took an interest in photography in the 60s. It will indeed seem like an old friend is gone. FM ...
he was why i bought pop photography, may he be in a place where 1.35v batteries are environmentally friendly and where one would not have to work to hard to...
... I had the pleasure of meeting him many years ago by means of a contact through his sister and he was a truly congenial man and will be greatly missed....
I just did some not so serious tests with a bunch of Hexanon and Nikkor lenses and a T3. I posted them under the title "My complete and objective lens tests"...
