Hi!
I was reading this list for almost a year now (not in full, of cause), but
this is my first post, so let me introduce myself briefly.
Photography is my hobby for a long time already. I used mostly Russian
cameras before until I moved to US 3.5 years ago.
First I bought two Tokina lens (28-105 and 19-35 both f/3.5-4.5) and used
them on my Zenit AM for half a year. I bought them, because I knew, I'll get
a Pentax body soon. I waited till MZ-S appeared, realized, that I'm not
ready to spend that amount of money yet, so, I bought ZX-5n. really nice
camera. (I considered Z-1p as well, but got 5n because of some reasons
people mention on this list frequently... you know what they are ;)
And, now, of cause, I have some questions:
1. I have battery grip for it. What about using those new lithium AA cells
in it? Is it OK? They are about 40% lighter then regular ones, last
longer... I hope they will balance the body better with my lens.
2. I don't have any Pentax lens (I'm planning to buy some, more on this
later), and question is regarding flash indicator in viewfinder (when using
built-in flash). If my 28-105 is in position less then 35 mm, it blinks
rapidly. I assume, it tells that there may be a shadow from the lens...
(The same goes for 19-35 as well, but I don't remember focal distance...)
What's funny, manual does not mention it.
3. And, finally... What happens, if I remove batteries when film is loaded?
Will frame counter reset?
I know, this list is crowded, but I'll post other questions as separate post
later.
Thanks for your help!
