I'm reasonably used to that having done a foray into Minolta 16 cameras, where you don't get any focus capability - However as the viewfinder (and the split image) are a big plus for the Auto 110, ...

Herd mentality means going with the rest, which would be digital... Nothing wrong with curiosity... Now, I sense that you are using that term as a pejorative and are in danger of going against the ...

Adobe are not the worst at this - some of the subscription security software services give a low first year followed by a sudden hike thereafter - there is a reliance on people kicking themselves ...

It is likely to have some nice features I'd be tempted by:
La-EA5 support
Articulated screen
Dual card support
- But that does seem to be about £600 too rich for me. - Still good to see the...

It was the U-Tube video that was the teaser - the announcement is the announcement...
What we seem to get these days is

For anyone who has an interest in the diminutive 110 SLR, this review was published on 35mmc yesterday... https://www.35mmc.com/19/10/2021/pentax-auto-110-review-by-bob-janes/

For anyone who is interested in reviews of old 110 cameras - the Pentax Auto 110:

Who is Tom? I've got a Scan Dual 4 that is doing exactly the same thing - I'll have to have the front off and see if I can spot this tab... DMax is a subject that lots of manufacturers have made ...

It is a common problem with all brands, but usually the split image is OK down to f/5.6-ish...

I don't think you should have any problems with either of those. Both are 'built' cameras. A couple of things to consider - do you have access to existing lenses? If so that might sway you. The FM ...

Of course. That is why people still shot medium format and why we shot with extremely slow emulsions (Kodachrome 25 anyone?). I'd agree.

Scandig, imaging resource...

Well personally, I'm still buying nice bits of kit from mounts that were dropped in the mid 80s. If you are looking to invest, speak to a financial advisor - few will recommend buying a camera.. If ...

I've always liked using some of the old primes from the Manual Focus era - the ease of focusing with mirrorless, combined with the ability to get infinity focus on just about everything made ...

You sound like you might not be in a good place.. I've never produced a perfect photograph - photography (for me) is much too subjective for that. I will tend to process in one way but someone else ...

EBC is very highly regarded.

Fujica, Pentax and Minolta all had good reputations for coatings. Coatings often changed from one production run to another - if the original AF50 1.7 lenses produced for the Minolta 7000AF, there ...

It used to be regarded as a sign of quality. Realistically it can't do any good for image quality, but it is unlikely to detract beyond a probably undetectable lack of contrast through scattering ...

The 'standard' 45 mm f/2.0 lens on the Contax G was reputed to be the sharpest interchangable lens. Having said that I've heard people sing the praises of the Minolta AF200 lens and just about any ...

Yes, but the FD mount did have 'issues'. Technically the original 'breech lock' mount was superior as it didn't involve wear to the contact surfaces - however: (1) This was never an issue for other mounts
