Hi,
I am using a Heliopan RG780 Filter on my *ist-D, it cuts visible light
off at 780 nm.
The effect is undenialble. Results look even better than the cover of
the U2 album
"the unforgettable fire", if you should know that.
One day i will have a website to show you my pics... ;-}

Hi Kevin,
there is a custom function in which you must explicitly engage the
firing with non-A lenses. Have you done that already?
Have you also installed the new firmware which makes metering with
M-lenses much easier?
I can fire my ist-D even with enlarger lenses from the darkroom on an
old m-t

Hi Kevin,
I don't know your exposure times, but if you take a long time exposure,
say 15 seconds with noise reduction "on", the camera needs a time as
long as the exposure itself to calculate noise reduction. Writung adds
to that but should be the minor part of the process.
All the best for 2004!

All the best for 2004!

I can second graywolfs comment,

that's right so far...
But then there was the *LX* !

Hi,
I had this very same problem, too!
Couldn't figure out why, perhaps bad connections inside the battery
pack?
I realised that the contact pins on different brand NiMH cells differ a
little in their dimensions.
Still need to figure out which set does the most trouble.
But in the meantime I went

Hi!
For me this feature was one of the main reasons to get an MZ-S.
I hope I can learn a lot from this!

Howdy gang!
Isn't it true that the FA lenses also communicate the distance to the
body, so that better evaluation of the matrix metering can be done?
Doesn't this also apply to flash modes?
