The purpose of this club is to offer a forum for presenting images created with the use of leaf shutter (LS) lenses with an emphasis upon Pentax LS lenses. It will also provide a forum to compare and discuss LS lens features, associated equipment, and the best practices and techniques for using these lenses. Pentax to the best of my knowledge offers only four medium format leaf shutter (LS) lenses. These are the SMC Pentax 645 LS 75mm f2.8, the SMC Pentax 645 LS 135mm f 4.0, the Super-Multi-Coated Pentax 67 90mm f 2.8 L.S., and the SMC Pentax 67 LS 165mm f 4.0. If Pentax has produced any other LS lenses, I have been unable to locate references to them. Other lens makers such as Hasselblad and Mamiya have also produced LS lenses.
So . . . show us some images. Explain how you set up your rig, what problems you had and how you solved them. Tell us what works best for you, when LS lenses come in handy and when to leave them on the shelf.
To start the ball rolling, and with apologies to professional product photographers everywhere, I include a copy of the LS lenses in my collection. I am missing the 90mm LS, but may start shopping for it soon if this Club takes off and gathers enough members to become interesting!
