Excellent point Bob - any time automation is introduced in any fashion it's decried by purists as laziness and destructive to creativity. Folks just need to...
Indeed Steven but just one point: the DSLR is more likely to result in a better shot than the P&S - better sensor although perhaps less resolution, better...
The issue isn't the fact there are more poor images, it's that most often the person shooting has no clue why. With the narrow latitude of digital, exposure...
... And in some cases, the machine gun approach is correct. Not many cases, but still... kids, for instance... but we're really talking snapshots here, not...
Good day, 1 month ago I tested myself if I can fit a Hexanon on an Olympus body. It worked. I had 2 Hexanons 50mmm f1,4 for this test. 1 of them I give it as a...
Ok, I must have missed something - but then thats not hard in my case. So what you are saying is that Hexanon AR lenses will fit on an Olympus digitial SLR...
Focus and aperture and I believe your dof and range markings won't be on top. I looked but did not find any resources in the Group's files library but I...
Hmmmm... haven't been following this thread too closely, but... Just tried a Hexacon AR 50/1.7 in an Olympus E1. Not a zoom of course, but it was handy......
Hello, yes, you can make a Hexanon to fit Olympus, losing just the focus on infinity. It's a bit hard for me to explain how to do it, but I'll try, so please...
With some modifications, Hexanon lenses work well on Olympus DSLR cameras. Here are two pictures I took recently with a Hexanon 50mm/F1.7 on an Olympus E500: ...
I love this camera, and I love the glass, what I don't love is the incredibly ****** construction on the battery contacts. Does anyone know where I can get a...
... incredibly ****** construction ... has been cutting it for a lot ... I do have a remote battery holder (4 AA's) for FT-1 but I had never used it even...
They come up on ebay every once in a while. I probably have an extra AA used maybe a couple of times. If you are interested email me at alco1ca@... ...
Micro 4/3rd would work if you used a micro 4/3rds to 4/3rds adapter. My understanding is that infinity focus is possible - in fact the lenses will tend to...
Hi folks. My name is Kevin and I've been lurking around for a while, searching posts for a question I have about an FS-1 (maybe later on an A3 question)....
when the batteries become weak the under/over exposure warning lights will light in an alternating sequence, signaling low power. The low indicators are M and...
Thanks for the responses. I did try a new set of batteries with the same result. I found many, many posts that recommended Greg Weber, so I did end up...
There are a variety of ways to get exposure with a dead meter, there is the sunny 16 rule, in bright sun outdoors, set the aperture to f/16 and the shutter...
I do not know all about the mircos this and that.. but I do like the idea of possibly saving the Hexanon and other Konica style lenses.. has some one come up...
I've got a follow up question. I think I've found a cable for a shutter release for this FS-1, but what I have read says it's electronic. Assuming I haven't...
Hi, I *liberated* this message from another group. I know some of you are members there, also. S.O. From: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-10024590-92.html ...
Just took a few shots with my 50mm F1,4 Hexanon, back from Greg Weber for a CLA. This has been my overall favorite normal lens due to its subtle color...
Interesting. I took a look at my own 50 mm F1,4 Hexanon. It has only 6 diaphragm blades. Mine is a black AE version with rubberized focusing grip. Is your an...
I had a look at my 50mm Ÿ1.4 as I had always thought that all Konica lenses had six aperture blades. YOU ARE RIGHT! Mine is a later model that has Ÿ22, s...
