Can't find my repair manual on CD (get divorced and everything in the house changes place, even if you're not the one that moves).? Got a dead FT-1, opened the...
... That's why I'm saying this mod is unlikely to happen - this kind of P mode would be of very limited use because of the difficulty of configuring it. -- ...
Use power switch to select Tv or P mode; in P mode use shutter speed dial to select Scene Type. Done - provided thirteen different scene types are enough ;-) ....
This may seem a rather simple question, however, I have avoided using a 55 mm screw in UV or Skylight filter with less than 35mm prime lenses. At what point...
At the point the corners start to get dark :-) a 28 should be fine, sometimes a wider lens will be OK with a slimline filter (some don't have threads in...
... On a Wide Angle lens the choice of a hood can cause more problems than a filter. If your W/A lens offers a special hood, USE IT. Don't be a cheapskate and...
I shoot rolls of Kodak 100 12x cheapie film when I want to check out a lens. I just get the negative developed and use a loop to check the edges. Don't get...
Colin, If it's a small piece of goo .... leave it alone. It makes a mess unless you take the whole thing apart, which is a major chore. You can "try" a little...
... I'm going kayaking some time soon too. However, I've decided to leave Konica gear at home (I don't want neither water in my Konica nor my Konica in water)...
... The Smenas do have a great little lens though! Far better than most give it credit for.They are fun cameras, once you figure out how to wind and rewind...
... The Smena 8M I got had no takeup spool. I made one by carefully opening an empty film can and reversing the takeup spool. It looks kinda weird and is...
Thanks for that Dave. I think I may just leave it alone. It is right at the edge of the frame & I don't really want to make it worse. Hopefully it will be...
Hope you have a good time kayaking Kosma. I have just had a look at Matt Denton's web page on the Smena Symbol, it looks quite an interesting little camera! ...
I was shooting my Smena 2 last week.I used a reloadable cassette as a take up spool. Of course the 2 doesn't have a rewind crank, so I end up using it like a...
I carefully put the two new MBR675 Wein cells in my T3 - only to find the cover wouldn't fit! It seems that they're thicker (deeper) than the original mercury...
Sent it to Greg Weber for a battery conversion and a overhaul. It will come back a new camera and you will be glad you did. Rob To: konicaslr@yahoogroups.com ...
I have a solution that works. Please look at the battery adapter I make for the #675 hearing aid battery: http://tinyurl.com/6mq5vd I check each one for...
I have some of John's adapters & can vouch for their correct fit... ... -- Scott http://www.flickr.com/photos/screaminscott/ [Non-text portions of this message...
Thanks to everyone who posted! Here's the result. Greg Weber: sitting in the UK, on a limited budget, his is a name I can only dream about. Different brand:...
The Weins will last a little longer as they only have 2 air holes to "breathe" whereas the hearing aid cells have 4 holes. You can extend the life of the...
East of E, The most compelling reason I can think of for using Wein cells is to make the company more profits which probably keep people employed. As you've...
Asking out of curiosity: is there any way to tell whether my FT-1 contains the "old" or the "new" electronics? I have photos of the camera disassembly process...
