I picked up a super nice black Pentax S1a W/ a bunch of lens. It needs a CLA badly. Any suggestions on who to use? I had a guy in Springfield, Mo that was...
... I was on the Pentax mailing list briefly. I'm sure if you look for it on the yahoogroups (i think its yahoo groups), people talk about a guy name Eric. ...
"This guy" does excellent work and is very affordable. Sort of a Greg Weber of Pentaxes. I just received back an H3 and H3v that he overhauled. One required...
Konica SLR UsersSubject: OT - Pentax Repairs Eric Hendrickson is the 'affordable' Pentax repair expert. Does fine work indeed and at about half the price...
Listers: I just added a frame from my first cassette of Fuji Pro 160S color negative film. ("Photos with normal lenses") These are flowers by natural light,...
... 52mm 1,8 Hexanon lens. This older Konica lens renders colors very nicely, and is at least as sharp as my 105mm Nikkor! ... Dear Tom Just as I suspected...
You need a later Spotmatic with a meter... You can't argue with that 50f1.4 Takumar. I'm not a huge Pentax user, but my SPII makes very nice pictures! There...
i have been looking everywhere for a converter to try my abundance of konica glass on one of my nikon dslr's. futile, though i have heard they exist with...
Never heard of K/AR to Nikon F but there is a Nikon F to both Konica F and K/AR. Philip Storvik philip@... Two things are infinite: the universe and...

Your welcome..... The only DSLR's that supposedly work without the adaptor ate the 4/3rds cameras like Olympus, because the flange to film, er sensor distance...
I've tried to explain to this group that i can mount a Hexanon lens on my Nikon d70s a while ago. From the sounds of it, the lenses seem to fit in a bit...
I think the speculation from previous discussions on this subject (either here or elsewhere) is that adding glass behind a Konica lens will probably do two...
The bayonets from one to another sometimes do fit, there are very few changes made from one bayonet to another, for example the diameter is often within a mm...
Does anyone have experience with loading straight-cut film (without a leader) into one of the newer Konica cameras (FC-1 or similar)? I'm gonna need to be able...
Hi Kosma, I suppose you aim at shortening the cycle for experiments with exposure and/or development. The electronic Konicas work well with film cut at...
Hi all; Just joined the group because I recently got a deal on a beautiful black FT-1 Motor, a pile of lenses and a Konica flash that I'm learning to use....
Tim, Have you ever been able to get into the clip and look at the batteries? You might have a severe corrosion problem. A drop of 3-in-one oil on the back of...
... Hi Tim, Are you sure it's not working? There's quite a 'knack' to these catches. I have three of them and you'd say none of them worked if you didn't know...
Hi David; No - have not been able to get the cover off at all. Tried the drop of oil first. I doubt there is a corrosion issue since everything works - film...
Sure as I can be short of needed incantations or spells. I've tried all of your suggestions prior to my first message, and I'll probably try them all again. In...
Does the latch slide down at all, when the button is pressed? The whole thing should slide down to the bottom of the groove. If it does slide all the way to...
When all else fails, take out the two screws (at the top and bottom) and ease the assembly off. that should allow you to remove the hook piece made of metal...
