Hi John, You can see a couple of pics of my cameras in the photo catalogue on this forum (H. KONICA Cameras/Lenses K/AR - the last two pics). Both the TC and...
The Wogster, always plugging for Greg :) JJ in Warsaw says "it's an hour of pleasant and relaxing work." Damn, life must be easy out there in Poland, around...
Yow John! Lord knows we have our own share of aggravations here in the 'Orient', as a Brit of my acquaintance calls it. Things are looking bleek indeed....
Hi all, Any Einsteins here? I'm trying to figure out what the equivalent focal distance of the 47- 100mm Hexanon AR-H zoom lens is when used in half-frame...
1.5x the focal length is the usual conversion, and your numbers are almost exactly that, so it's a 70-150mm equivalent. Dean ... 47- ... 47- ... sure...
Okay, actually it's 1.442x to be precise.--- In other words, 67.75mm- 144.2mm, assuming that Konica hasn't rounded that focal length up or down, which they...
... I'm certainly not an Einstein, but it looks to me that the formula you want is: 43.3mm/28.8mm*47mm = ca. 70mm 43.3mm/28.8mm*100mm = ca. 150mm That is, you...
JJ, I'm no Einstein, I believe you should consider the focal length to be 44% longer (30/43.3 approx. = 1.44). E.g when set to 100mm actual focal length, the...
... What has been decided in the market place? What we have learned is that digital is greatly over-rated. In my case, digital gave me my start back to film,...
... No, don't be satisfied! Pick up an 85/1.8 Hexanon for those portraits, or a 100/2.8 (a real sleeper of a lens in the Konica lineup) or 135/2.5 or 135/3.2. ...
Whoa John! Take a step back and look at the tone of your reply. You were a little hard on Fred! It's easy for a vociferous post to seem like a personal attack,...
Hi Roger, You need to give yourself more credit... And those "pros" less. I mentioned one example in my rather long rant earlier.... Consider again the...
The mention of Galen Rowel brought to mind another difference between digital and film... And the reason I don't tend to just think of it as "another type of...
Wow. Philip Storvik philip@... The dumbest people I know are those who know it all. -Malcolm Forbes ________________________________ From: John van V....
I will say it one last time: I have no interest in participating in the digital versus film discussion--a few folks always take it too seriously. I was once...
FM, I value the information you provided. Based on my interest in Konica gear and also in photography in general I really appreciate the variety of discussions...
Along with Erik, I consider anything Konica on topic even if it is digital. We are going to be experiencing both digital and analog for quite awhile and...
Hi John, It's almost funny how exactly opposite I read Fred's comments, compared with how you read them. You saw them as a series of negatives, apparently. I...
Hi all, I have to take off my "participant" cap and put on my "moderator" cap for a moment here. There have been several posts here lately that are bordering...
Ok, just for the record: This started as a comparison between digital and emulsion w/ legitimate comparisons, as most of us use both, at very least to share on...
Dear John, Even if you confine us to the pale of oblivion, I expect you will take a peek in here once in awhile to see what we're up to. Moreover, I trust that...
Rob, Thanks for restoring the good mood! ... but won't read the pictures back into the computer? :-) ... read "oopside down". So we're on the same skill level...
Hi everyone, I for one find the idea of being able to use my manual focus lenses on a micro 4/3 camera very interesting. Anyone know when adapters might be ...
I use my older MF Nikon mount & Nikkor lenses on a Nikon D70s & I don't have to stop down to meter (they don't, but that's only a minor annoyance) or to ...
I have been following this group for some time and it has led me back into my long lost love of photography. I remember how many months I saved in order to...
Cameras are only tools for crafts (or artistic creations). I use my Hexanon and other legacy lenses on digital bodies all the time. For example, here are two...
Hi everyone! I bought a black Autoreflex T (1) (i.e. the first version with the switch at the back) on US eBay. The seller claims that this particular ...
Congratulations Bjorn! I know the Auto-Reflex came in black 'professional' finish, but I have yet to see a T(1) in black. It must be a rare bird indeed. ...
Yes, super find Bjorn! I'd wager to say that even the T2 in black was not common. I've seen more T3s in black than either of the previous 2. Any of those...
