How can a mirror return spring be very very weak when a camera has to be able to shoot many frames per second, meaning the mirror has to be moving very fast and precisely?

I have both those lenses and the 6D. There is no point mounting an m39 lens on a Canon DSLR, it will only focus some centimeters away, so you can save money and not buy the m39 adapter. Just use ...

I needed to edit a photo and then display it on the camera LCD (never mind why, bit of a long story). I took a photo, took the card out and opened the jpg image on a computer, did a very simple ...

I have this nice camera in mint condition except slower shutter speeds are sticky. It has a feature to allow creative double exposures, but I do exactly what it says and it doesn't work. The ...

Willing to buy from overseas if the shipping is OK.

This is probably a silly question, and I assume the answer is yes, but I just want to check, is 35mm film the exact same quality as a larger medium format cropped to 24x36mm? If it's the same ...

I passed over that one after reading one bad review. But I will go back and check it out now and some sample photos, thanks.

You mean the 35mm ones that mask top and bottom, but the width is still unchanged at 36mm?

That's still very interesting, if it gives both a 6x9 and a 6x4.5 option (for entire rolls). It's a useful feature. I assume you get the full 16 shots if you use the mask?

I've been looking into panoramic film options (on a budget!) - so besides the two mentioned previously, what do people do if they like shooting cheap film panoramas? I like the ratio between 2:1 ...

I've been looking into panorama film cameras, including sample photos. These two cameras were discontinued awhile ago, and I can't find any for sale anywhere in the world, including ebay. Do they ...

As the title says, are there any folder, or other medium format cameras, which allow you to do different aspect ratios on the same 120 roll? Not by changing the camera's back, but on the same ...

I've just bought a Pentax SLR (not digital), and want to get an adapter so I can use my m42 lenses on it stop down. I haven't researched it yet but it sounds like there are some traps in choosing ...

But most not guaranteed working. :) With our dollar being weak, and the cost of international shipping, and 10% GST charged on imports, that US$60 (or usually more, for one they claim fully works) ...

Hi, I'm looking at buying a Pentax MG online, but its film transport coupler cover is missing. Does this affect the camera in any way? I do have a Spotmatic SP camera here which I use for display ...

One more thought, is that lens you just tested a straight AI version, or an AI'd K model? If you give me its serial no. I can look it up myself to find out. Then I'll know whether the K model is ...

Thank you for your detailed reply, that's very helpful. I agree that lens looks really nice. But I think I will prioritize IQ across the full image in this case because the lens will be used for ...

Thank you, that's very helpful, and impressive results seen there. Overnight I also had the person on Flickr reply to me saying their photos which I saw were sharp to the edges were from the AI ...

I checked out out those Series E lenses already, and they aren't that cheap. I guess people are aware of them and prices have gone up. There wasn't really anything under $100 that didn't have ...
