Just received my new toy:
smc Pentax 1:3.5 18mm, which is practically new. No signs of
wear and the glass is perfect :-)
I have not seen this lens in sale too often ...
actually, never before. I think it will go nicely along with
my smc 15mm.
I got it from Germany, with help from a German list
Well, I for one have long waited for the slow quality zoom. Considering
that Pentax medium format No. 1 usage is landscapes, slow zoom lenses makes
sense. Medium formats biggest disadvantages are size ad weight. Since a
zoom lens can replace several primes making them small and light is great.

Your camera lens is best near wide open also. Is that the only f-stop you
use? If your lens resolves 70lpm wide open and 40 at f16, and your paper
resolves 25lpm what difference does which f-stop you use make.
Once again I say: It does not have to be perfect, it just needs to be "good
enough".
Who, they never mention this, hired his prespiration.
Ciao,
Graywolf

Yes ... something like it. There have been times when a very bright
light has been close to the frame line and has caused a flare into the
area outside the frame. I've never had it so bad that it's migrated to
the next frame, but with a bright enough light and a long enough
exposure, and, of cou
Hi Listers everywhere,
As Malcolm has kindly posted recently, he and I will be getting our heads
together over the coming days, and hatching a cunning plot for a POSSIBLE

The finest grained B&W negative films are:
AGFA APX 25 (Discontinued, but it can be found);
EFKE 25 - Relatively new in this country, stocks

I have a few rolls and will be running some tests soon.
