quick

beautiful lenses and longevity if you look after them.

I have just bought one of these and fp4 is what i am going to use , what do people think of film these days and what commands the high price of these wonderful cameras.?

<p>i use a stitz tripods,also mini vanguard .stitz tripods are great.</p>

<div></div>

<p>The summar lens is a very good lens and in my eyes the best lens ever made i love its softness and colour reproduction. if you stop down and use a good quality filter eg: hoya and lens hood ,hope that will help. </p><div></div>

<p>i bought one 2 years ago from an auction site, it had a 50mm hoya 1.8 lens fitted, bought a battery of the same auction site, the meter worked 100%, .but i could not put a film through it because the light seals had deteriorated badly , so i set about getting the seals ,yes you got it of the same auction site,then i went to work replacing the seals , which you can get step by step instructions for this camera off the web ,now i have a real nice camera ,to go along with my om10,om20,om 30,t20 flash gun, Zuiko lenses ,ozeck lenses,and have used the om1n for weddings and the results are as good as anything,the camera is a joy to hold and has the smoothest shutter , and people always comment on the camera ,<img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/JonGoodman/Olympus%20OM-1.JPG" alt="" width="627" height="455" /></p>

<p>don't knock the domiplan, i must admit that this lens was designed for 35mm and gave very good shots especially in stop down mode ,it does not have a manual switch which is not a problem with right m42 adapter on a dslr .i have one which is a dream of a lens, and it will knock the socks of a lot of over priced digital slr lenses which are even cheaper made ,</p><div></div>

Thanks everyone, ,at the moment i am repairing the light seals in a mamiya msx 1000, and fuji ST605n both are m42,so i will be able to use the zeiss lenses, long live 135mm film.<div></div>

Hello all is there an M42 pentax screw adapter for the R4,?

I have some m42 lenses by zeiss and want to use them.

thanks paul.<div></div>
