Has anyone an idea where a battery for Metz 60 CT-4 could be purcased. Maybe even in Europe?

AA holder would be fine. Not yet find any in Europe, Leica Shop Wien etc.

Old cells of my -87 Ni-Cd pack are now rather exhausted and new cells would be so nice. In Finland I have not found a service shop willing to do that. Would someone have an idea of a European workshop maybe willing to do the job?

<p>New F-1. I bought it as new 1987. Very good camera for very many kind of jobs.</p><div></div>

<p>Hector,</p> <p>Thank you of your link, it helped a lot!</p> <p>K.</p>

<p>There are several Olympus Pen models begining with E-P1 to the latest one. I know that E-P1 could not use electric finder and in some model (E-P3?) came new sensor with more pixels. What else has changed and in what model?</p> <p>K.</p>

<p>What is the most reliable V-Hasselblad type and manufacturing period? I have my experience, my thoughts and Hasselblads already. Just would nice to hear also your thoghts.</p> <p>- 1600F and 1000F do have their bad reputation, as well as the first modern focal shutter models?<br> - winder models generally have generally good reputation, just batterycases?<br> - 500 C/M were great, newer models not exactly at the same level?<br> - all Superwides troublefree?<br> - Flexbody troublefree?<br> - Arcbody?<br> - C, CF, CFi lenses work all as well, no shutter problems, no separation?</p> <p>What do you think?</p> <p>K.</p>

<p>Flavio,</p> <p>Thank you of your good points!</p> <p>K.</p>

JDM, thank you! Good view to the subject. Structure is quite far the same. Glass development has made it possible to make the lenses thinner? K.

<p>Jos,</p> <p>Thank you of your reply! I know the question is difficult, that is why I asked it. I thougt that someone had maybe done the rechearch already. Some structures have remaind the same for decades, in Hasselblad line for example 250 mm Sonnar and 38 mm Biogon. And then there are structures that come and go. I guess that most zoom lenses belong to these.</p> <p>K.</p>

<p>In optical structure, what has changed in Canon lenses when mount went from FDn to EF. For example 14/2,8L, 24/1,4L, 35/2, 50/1,2L, 85/1,2L, 300/4L. Or the others. For shure there are new constructions, I quess that plenty of olds too?</p> <p>K.</p>

<p>Thank you guys oour replies! The point is not the tripod or the head. Just the center of gravity is too far from the fixing thread of the body. So the balance is not ok. But Manfrotto 293 sounds very good!</p>

<p>Thank you of your replies!</p> <p>The problem is not at all the head, I am just worried of the body. The lens is not so heavy, still it's centre of gravity is quite far of the head, especially with the Mutar and that makes a clear tension (M = F * l) to the body. That Manfrotto support sounds good.</p> <p>K.</p>

<p>How should 503 CW with CFi 250 mm & Mutar 2x supported. It is obvious that the normal tripod thread under the camera is not enough with heavy and long lens combination and there is no tripod thread on the lens. Would there be some kind of tripod collar available or other solutions?</p> <p>K.</p>

<p>5 cm Sonnar would not be f;3,5, Triotar or Tessar could. No a real thing.</p> <p>K.</p>
