I have considered getting BACK into using a spot meter (after giving up and
selling my Pentax digital Spot meter a few months ago).
After hearing about Jeff's, and how it is used, and the features it has,
I'm considering one myself.
Speaking of which, Jeff, is sometime this weekend good for you?

There is no set formula. A rule of thumb would be to start 1 stop
down for shadow fill and 2 stops down for catchlights. The more soft

There is really small one called Sunpak 2000A Softlite, that seems nice,

For my taste, I find Scala overexposed at its nominal ISO of 200. I find
that it looks better at EI 320 for most subjects. It makes good images on
Ilfochrome, but the tonal scale balance requires some fiddling. I have had
better luck making prints by using paper negatives.

I am thinking of getting a small flash for travel together with the LX.
There is really small one called Sunpak 2000A Softlite, that seems nice,
no TTL however. Would the Pentax AF220T be a better solution? Could it
perform the same 'fill-flash'-tricks on an LX?

Hi Albano,
I have used a lot of Scala in the past two years and love
the film. It is fine grained and has a smooth tonality and
very good contrast.

I don't think that will happen as long as Pentax don't over-price. There are
thousands, no I guess millions of screw and K mount lenses out there and I imagine
their owners are all watching the Pentax DSLR scene and - like myself - drifting
closer & closer.

I think Pentax strategy is go right in where the volume is and the rest is niche.
Perhaps very much niche. I believe

Actually I agree, My flare comment was a little tongue in cheek jab at the
"unflareable" SMC coating. Had I shot that with my old Vivitar 28-200 lens I
doubt I would have gotten a useable image for all the flare, it flared that
badly. I should have used a :)
