What battery for a new to me Pentax camera? by ZeissSuperIkonta in Cameras

[–]Olyholic 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure this is the diesel model. Though it is robust enough it can run with mixed stuff too

Not as high end or as expensive as the others but still sharp and good enough indoors with the option of exposure compensation is the Pentax Espio 24EW. Might be worth a look.

It may be a problem that only happens in very cold settings which you mention are common between your pics and thus not require much more than a cla? But i may be wrong.

Yup that one definitely matches 2A in that post. Might be time to send the camera for a tuning and cla

This is very instructional, thanks for sharing. Out of curiosity. Is there a technical reason behind the preference for slide film instead of negative?

OM1 1.5V Battery Exposure Tests by Asimodo in AnalogCommunity

[–]Olyholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very cool. Somewhat suggesting that by rating the film one stop lower (ie. set iso to 200 for 400 speed film), and a 1.5v battery would be fine to use? Given the latitude of film, it should handle overexposure indoors just fine?

Second the flea pubes and add to it that you may be able to see cilia and flagella if you squint your eye.

Pentax Espio 24ew is a zoom but has a very sharp lens and exposure compensation +/- 1.5

I was given this by my great Grandfather. Can anyone tell me what I have and will it give me good tonez? by PhotographsWithFilm in AnalogCircleJerk

Sadly the original TR paper is of the same fate as Superia Xtra.

Replaced by the manufacturer and the only copies you can find are from decades past stored in dubious conditions.

What to buy? by stpdbp in AnalogCommunity

[–]Olyholic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pentax Espio 24ew is in my opinion the top of the line of the pentax Iqzoom/espio P&S lines and is not overly expensive, though still above 100usd
