David & All: Howdy from Arizona! I found the Vestal 2-bath D76 formula in "The Film Developing Cookbook" by Anchell & Troop (page 85). This is a goldmine for...
Hi all, I have been eager to shoot film with hexanon lenses, and I read good things about the T4. The most important thing about it is that it is reputed to...
I have in my hand the book you reference and low and behold there is the Vestal's Divided D-76 Formula. This is embarrassing because I have had this book for...
Hello John the T4 is the better of the two cameras. The TC is an excellent, sturdy and real cheap now but the shutter speeds only go down to 1/8 sec. For long...
Hi John, You've come to the right place for answers! The TC and T4 are very similar cameras in many respects. Side by side they can be difficult to tell apart....
To keep your liquids/solution topped off just use marbles to raise the fluid level. :-) That's my 2 cents worth. I enjoy reading about all you guys are still...
Just for clarification, perhaps, for the newby - The 1.2 lens is 57mm (I don't think there's a 50mm one) and probably won't be found for twenty bucks on ebay,...
Thanks for all this information; it flowed so quickly and smoothly. I see this information quick access parts of your minds! This here is immediately useful...
BTW: I meant to thank you for your helpful comments about bokeh! Some lenses just have that "look" to their images, don't they? My 52mm Hexanon, which was...
DJ: Yes, I omitted the hydroquinone, etc, as he suggested. Sometimes when I scan a B&W negative I select "color negative" and then add the "Pixel Polish"...
Listers: I have mentioned sepia-toning in Photoshop in an earlier post. Just added a photo in "Other Lenses" category, toned. I took this scenic near the top...
Hi folks. I just came across a cable in some remaining Konica equipment the other day. I have not been able to identify it though. Here's a couple of links if...
... I thought the FS-1 was still usable if the main board was dead, but you had to use it in manual mode and use a different method of metering. kevin ... side...
Once I started using PyroCat-HD and MC, my b&w negative scanning trouble pretty much disappeared. The tanning aspects of these developers seem to negate the...
Hi, The FS-1 & FT-1 are completely battery/electronics dependent. S.O. ... From: Kevin Henson <kev@...> Subject: [konicaslr] Re: TC vs. T4, or other...
Oh yes I stand corrected. No fast 1.2 lens from any company is going to be cheap! I see one listed on Ebay for $300.00. I don't own a 57 1.2 but the difference...
Don't think it's a Konica cable. It has a Nikon look to it, but that's just a guess. The shutter release cable for the FS-1 is electronic and fits the...
Electronics simplify photography from the manufacturing point of view. Manual cameras are like clock-work, with "rocks" of optical glass, up front. (No wonder...
kevin; The cable in question is really a hose or tube and the big end has the threads of a mechanical cable release. What is missing from this is the rubber...
Electronics simplify the camera, and also shorten the lifespan of the camera, which is a lousy thing for users, but a good thing for manufacturers. a...
That's also the sad fact of the Konica Hexar RF. It's a great camera, it has great lenses but basically will become a paperweight when things go bad. Steve...
Thank you so much Francis, this must've been used with the A3 my Dad had. kevin ... the ... the ... like ... by ... a ... though. ... came ... or ... it's ... ...
John, I currently have four of the 57mm f1.2's. I had not meant to get that many (and, no they are not currently for sale - if/when I change my mind, the...
Mike, I didn't know you had a list of T3 information you are collecting. As soon as I take the last pic I will open 'er up and send you the info on mine....
referring to the Konica Rangefinder with M mount, should the camera suffer irrepairable electronics failure, the lens(es) could certainly continue future life...
My name Carl, I am a semi-retired school teacher/principal who enjoys photography as a hobby, as well as writing, and ceramic pottery. I live in Arkansas. ...
Hi Carl, And welcome! The 40/1.8 "Pancake" is a neat little lens. About it's only fault is that it will usually exhibit a little coma if you have it set to...
