Financal Condition of Pentax

Hi, I have been off the list for a couple of years. I am hoping to jump into the DSLR world soon. Using a Pentax DSLR seems to be the way to go based on the lenses and flashes I own. But now I hear Pentax is in rough shape financially and I wonder if I should not invest in Pentax if they will b

What if *ist

What if I take an M or K series lens and modify it for matrix metering per Mark Roberts web site? I make sure that there is still metal contact on the one "pin" location as there would be on an A version when the camera is in the A position. I then set the lens to f22 and treat it like a lens set

Power Zoom 28-105 Vs the new 28-105 3.2-4.5

I currently own the older power zoom model. I am thinking of replacing it with the newer 28-105. I am planning on replacing an older PZ model camera with either an ZX-L or the new *ist (if I can use K mount lenses with out issue) and was thinking it would be nice to have a faster more compact le

Re: Super A with issues

This happens with and without the use of a flash. The flash is a Pentax AF280T. - Original Message - From: "William Robb" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 7:03 PM Subject: Re: Super A with issues > > - Original

Super A with issues

I traded for Super A last year. I knew at the time it was a project camera. Everything on it seams to work with one minor exception. I get the occasional photo with a black stripe across the bottom of the photo. There is no detail in the stripe. It shows up once in about every 5 to 8 frames. on

Re: Who has switched to Pentax and why?

Same story here. My wife had a k-1000 and a couple lenses. It was just natural to build from there. Her biggest complaint now is I have taken over her hobby:) Jim Fellows - Original Message - From: "Lon Williamson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PDML Pentax Discuss" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent:

Re: P-3 vs ZX-M

I would go with the ZX-M. It has more shutter and aperture priority that the P-3 does not have. It also has a built in motor drive. A quick look at Boz's web sit will give the full list of features on both. The main distracion on the ZX-M is it does not have a metal lens mount. Jim Fellows ---

Re: Exclusive picture of "new" Pentax D-SLR (Expected streetprice US$1200)

I agree. I may not buy a new Pentax auto focus film camera, but wait 6 months to a year to see what Pentax comes out with. I have plenty of film cameras already and would be more than happy to thin out that collection to help pay for a new DSLR. My wife and I currently own the EI-200 and have a
