Modern Photography, April 1968.

But this info is not correct. It's not the first time the Canon museum is wrong (it has been wrong MANY times, contradicting canon's own catalogs). There are two optical designs of this lens., FL 50/1.4 was released 1965 and it's a 6/5. See diagram. FL 50/1.4 second version was released in...

You shouldn't use alkalines because the voltage isn't constant. Sunny 16 is more reliable that a light meter with a completely wrong battery. Now, it's your camera and you can do whatever you want. But what Wilt W. said is important -- once you try slide film you'll see how good or wrong the...

She's been a bad Kiev She's like a chemical Though you try to stop it She's like a lubitel You wanna torture her You wanna un-jam her All the backs you bought for her Could not get the spacing Pump it up, until you can feel it Pump it up, when you don't really need it

Hi Wilt, It does not. It uses a system similar to the one in the F-1 (galvanometer physically turns when the speed dial turns), but with more provisions for adjustment. btw, i love zinc-air cells.

Suggestion: When you want to check if a camera meter is OK, always check against a dedicated (handheld) meter or a very good (calibrated) camera. Camera meter apps aren't as accurate, and will not necessarily "see" the same angle and pattern as your TTL meter and will not necessarily have the...

They all have a protective glass over the focusing screen. For example on the Pentax 6x7 the focusing screen has over it a fresnel, and then it has a protective glass. It's a 3-piece assembly. Yes, the WLF has no glass,but the focusing screen is protected. So, for example, you can't scratch the...

Yes, i fully understand. I have two ETRSi and one ETRS (silver), plus the 40/4 MC, 50/2.8 MC and PE, 75/2.8 MC, EII, and PE, 105/3.5 MC, 150/3.5 PE, 200/4.5 PE and the 1.4x PE teleconverter. Plus some accesories like the Motor Drive E (the original). BTW, i don't know how many lenses do you...

I also think the same. The B35 has better ergonomics.

I think exactly the same as Sirius, can't stand the reversal. The only reversal I like is reversal processing. Yes, i understand. Maybe since i'm used to the RB67, everything seems light in comparison.

Good, good, thanks for helping us keep the New F1 prices from rising!!.

I am waiting!!

You should also add some conductive gel to increase conductivity...

Since you're canadian, this came to my mind: (I love The Kids In The Hall)

1. Any old (pre-1980s) camera will, will, will require service to work properly. 2. Don't bother with brands or camera types, etc. Just get a machine that works properly (and that has a working light meter) so you can get experience. You don't ever "need" a 50mm lens, it's fine if you have a...

I invoke @Nodda Duma , optical designer.

The triotar is actually a very good lens, at least at f8 or so. And using it at wider apertures makes no sense when you don't have a rangefinder. I have the strong suspicion that a previous camera tech has opened the lens for cleaning,and has misadjusted the lens focus. It should be...

If a FP shutter is too slow or sluggish, it needs to be cleaned and re-lubed again. And afterwards, it might not even need any adjustment on curtain tension. Incresasing curtain tension without addressing the problem first will end up in greater strain on the camera and will shorten its life.

Get the AE (AE II, AE III) finder. It makes the camera quicker to use thanks to the autoexposure.

Thanks for this information, i was always curious about those 'improved' screens. I have the stock matte screen on my ETRSi and I think it's fairly bright, better than some 35mm cameras and better than my Pentax P67 (which OTOH doesn't have a stock screen). Something to always check is to make...

This is a great quality scan!! What process did you follow?

It seems to work fine now. Thanks to the technical team for Photrio!

Thanks Sal. Yes, it all boils down to "There's no accounting for taste."

Sorry Nikkor-S 35/2.8 -- seven elements (actually there were many optical changes on this lens) New Nikkor (aka "pre-ai" or "K") 35/2.8 -- 6 elements AI version (first models) -- same as above AI version (later models) and AI-S -- five elements

It would be questionable, yes, if at those hypotetical 3500DPI, the modulation transfer function (MTF) was 100%. In real life if you get a scanner able of 3500dpi optical (maximum), you'll see the details at that resolution (at that "frequency") are very fuzzy, often filled with artifacts like...

- Vegeta, what does the scouter say about the V850's optical resolution? - It's OVER 6000 !! - What? Over 6000 dpi?! There's no way that could be right!! There's no way that could be right. I wouldn't be surprised if on actual tests this scanner doesn't achieve more than 2600dpi. And even if it...

Well, maybe you think film photographs "must" look grainy, perhaps unsharp, low in resolution. Perhaps you think film "must" look low-fi, otherwise it's of no use, otherwise it makes no sense. Perhaps you have a pre-conceived idea of how film "should" look. Perhaps you like using expired film...

This, this this. We should be glad we have TMax 100/400, Delta 100/400, Acros 100. There's a ton of people that think the old stuff is somehow "superior" with strange arguments such as "more forgiving in development" (if you want the highest quality, you need to be exacting in your development...

= contrast is too low for your taste. Increase development time and/or temperature. "Increased shadow detail" means increased speed, a good thing. XTol is supposed to increase film speed. It does what it says on the tin!! Who knew? Finally, honest advertising!!

Yes!!! This is wonderful film and too hard to buy in my city so I need to content myself with Delta 400. But i do have some TMY on the freezer for special occasions.
