 Originally posted by s4ducati  Recently purchased a mint LX 35mm film. Saw the review on Japan Camera Hunter, and being the sucker I am, with a bad case of GAS; I had to buy one. Just put my first roll of Kodak 400Tmax through it (Jan 3) and look forward to seeing the results.. . . Looking forward to contributing to this forum and learning about Pentax too. S4Ducati you will find friendly members and a lot of knowledge here looking forward to whatever contribution you choose to make here if case you haven't found these areas of the forums yet: Pentax Film SLR Discussion - PentaxForums.com _____________ Quote: Lets see those ''film'' shots 8-) Hi folks...Since our film community is small here, I thought it would be a great idea to have a thread on images that show the beauty of film...Does it have to be a Pentax? ''No'', lets make it about photography...I and others, I am sure, would like to see what different films put out, so film type would be a help if you know. Now lets see those film shots. ____________________________________ Quote: Description: The Pentax LX was introduced in 1980 as a system camera for the professional photographer. It is the only Pentax 35mm SLR to feature an exchangeable viewfinder - a total of 8 viewfinders were available together with 9 focusing screens. A large array of other accessories, hereunder a 5 fps motor drive and a 250 exposure film back were available as well. The LX has Av auto exposure as well as metered manual. The built-in exposure meter is very sensitive being able to meter down to -6.5 EV in auto exposure mode. In manual exposure mode the meter goes down to 1 EV. The meter reads the light reflected off of the first shutter curtain or off of the film during exposure. Manual metering as well as auto exposure are available no matter which view finder is being used. The set shutter speed is shown in the viewfinder. Some of the viewfinders show the aperture as well via a window that projects the aperture value from the aperture ring into the view finder. Manual exposure is set by adjusting shutter speed or aperture until the LED indicating shutter speed matches the needle of the light meter. When shooting in Av auto exposure mode a +/-2 EV exposure compensation is available but no exposure lock. The camera can be operated without batteries in the mechanical shutter speed range 1/75s - 1/2000s. The camera body is light but rugged and sealed against dust. The Pentax LX was produced through a time span of more than 15 years. Read more at: Pentax LX - Pentax Manual Focus Film SLRs - Pentax Camera Reviews and Specifications | |
