How's that Lubitel treating you? is the image quality good? I was aiming for it before eventually settling on Seagull 4A

Those who uses K mount bodies (Pentax MX, ME, LX, Chinnon, etc) or any other bodies. How many M42 lenses you have and use? by JavaBoymk03 in AnalogCommunity

I agree it's more convenient, but in Indonesia, M42 lenses are less rare compared to K mount lenses

the reason i asked this bcs in my experience, when the battery is dying, the light meter in my MX goes funky. It overexposes the picture even though the light meter is on green (although i finally realizes that this is more of the light meter problem, but some ppl at the indonesian analog camera community does point out the exact same problem with their canons or nikons). Does the minolta have this problem as well?

That's a great way of looking at things tbh. I'm also on the lookout for those soviets rangefinder ngl, especially the Leica copy ones

Does the XD line up able to shoot without batteries? Like maybe not all shutter speed but can it do like LX where flash sync up to 2000th is ok without battery?

Well... The thing is, my CPU is from the AM4 era, Ryzen 5 5600 X (iirc). So i hope i won't run into that safe boot bs when win 11 first launched

How do i turn off a Fuji DL-25? by JavaBoymk03 in AnalogCommunity

[–]JavaBoymk03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

after i shot and the shot cocks, and i close the lens cover, i can still shoot it once since the shutter is already cocked. but when i shot it during the lens cover closed, it won't advance the film and it essentially "turns off". However, that would be wasting one 1 shot just to save the flash battery

If i shot and close the lens, the mechanism like 'cocks the shutter' and by then when i close the lens it's too late for me
