One thing that bugs me a little about these is that they all basically move your hand away from the shutter speed controls. OK for Program or Aperture-Priority AE but stinky for manual or shutter-priority. A benefit is that it greatly improves the balance when using a compact M- (e.g. ME Super) or A-Series (e.g. Super Program) body with larger, heavier lenses like A35-105/3.5 or A70-210/4 which are kind of front heavy for these tiny bodies.57thStIncidenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02790939264919065071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-52952858538683127842010-11-01T20:05:55.928-07:002010-11-01T20:05:55.928-07:00@devdan...

I traded both zooms for a CLA (they were pretty rough) and got the 50/2 for $20 at auction. The Super Program is a fairly new acquisition at and was essentially in like-new condition at $43, body only. I have had the Pentax-A 50/1.7 for a long time.<br /><br />SteveFotosteviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433329456906098417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-46011299817329800292010-11-01T10:39:19.077-07:002010-11-01T10:39:19.077-07:00@Steve, fantastic photos with the wonderful storie...@Steve, fantastic photos with the wonderful stories behind the three winders. I also have the Ricoh winder and it is likely the same as yours on the Ricoh xr7. It does it job but I do find it too loud in usage. I also prefer the build from the winder on the Pentax SuperProgram. If you ever go into another film body, I highly recommend trying out the Pentax Pz-1(p) as it has the winder built in and it is a great Pentax film camera that look like a sibling to K10D. <br /><br />@LaRee, thanks for the visit and I didn't know you have the Minolta x700 as I have heard great things on the Minolta film cameras. I highly recommend indulging ourselves with occasional change for the film usage, you will be surprised. I recently bought various films as in Fuji Across 100, IlFord Delta 100 and 400, and now trying Kodah TriX 400, Tmax 100 and Ektar 100 for color.<br /><br />@DevDan, thanks for the visit and Steve is my wonderful blogging partner. I invited Steve to be my blogging partner as I love to learn from his film experience.Hin Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11542007867767875530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-9070568040103472072010-10-31T23:40:35.794-07:002010-10-31T23:40:35.794-07:00amazing old camera with film.I agree that The Pent...amazing old camera with film.I agree that The Pentax unit is the best made of the bunch with much of the grip being cast aluminum.<br />how do you get those camera?<br /><br />regards<br /><a href="http://www.aerialphotoasia.com/" rel="nofollow">Aerial Photography Bali Jakarta Indonesia</a> || <a href="http://educationarcade.org/user/85714/" rel="nofollow">education</a> || <a href="http://eventful.com/users/aerialphoto/" rel="nofollow">ted</a>devdanhttp://aerialphotoasia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-66529980444137896622010-10-30T08:07:23.458-07:002010-10-30T08:07:23.458-07:00You've inspired me to dig out my old Minolta X...You've inspired me to dig out my old Minolta X700 and auto winder just to have a feel again. ;)LaReenoreply@blogger.com
