Vs: What's the expected life-time of a shutter?

In the Chasseur d´Images test in 2000 even the Pentax MZ-30 managed 145305 shutter cycles so PZ-1 series must do better. All the best! Raimo Personal photography homepage at http://www.uusikaupunki.fi/~raikorho -Alkuperäinen viesti- Lähettäjä: Pål Jensen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Vastaanottaja:

Which one? The Pentax 645 had a non-interchangeable viewfinder from the beginning. All the best! Raimo Personal photography homepage at http://www.uusikaupunki.fi/~raikorho -Alkuperäinen viesti- Lähettäjä: Ed Matthew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Vastaanottaja: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Vs: 24-90 or 28-105?

3.5-4.5/24-90 mm any time. 24 is an extremely useful focal length and the quality is outstanding. All the best! Raimo Personal photography homepage at http://www.uusikaupunki.fi/~raikorho -Alkuperäinen viesti- Lähettäjä: talampaya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Vastaanottaja: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMA

Vs: FA 28-70 f2.8

In which way is the 4/28-70 "essentially" same as 2.8/28-70. And which kind of macro feature the former has? Mine did not have any IIRC. The 4.0/28-70 is one very good lens. All the best! Raimo Personal photography homepage at http://www.uusikaupunki.fi/~raikorho -Alkuperäinen viesti- Lä

No, it was not a Zeiss trademark. But the way it was conceived is probably the way you describe it - according to Dario Bonazza´s book. All the best! Raimo Personal photography homepage at http://www.uusikaupunki.fi/~raikorho -Alkuperäinen viesti- Lähettäjä: Albano Garcia <[EMAIL PROTECTE

Praktica was originally made by Kamera Werkstatten at first in Dresden, then in Niedersedlitz (wherever that may be) - Pentacon was formed later in 1964 by joining together several (five?) East German state-owned camera manufacturers, from 1959 under the name of VEB Kamera und Kinowerke Dresden.
