I have been using a KM A2 for the past two years. Lately, I've begun to notice

a consistent dark area (a near-perfect circle) that shows up in exactly the

same spot whenever the location in question is in a light, uniform color (for

example, sky, clouds or blue water).

My question: is this a sensor defect that's grown with use? It's not a dirty

lens, since the spot never changes location.

Thanks for any help!

Thank you both for responding, and thank you, Godfrey, for your very precise answer. Just what I needed!

Has anyone used CF cards from the KM A2 on the Epson P-2000? Does the P-2000

recognize the raw (.mrw) files and display them correctly? Can it at least

upload them correctly, even if they're not viewable?

Thanks for any information ...

Hi Richard,

Your suggestions based on the assumption that I'd want to take landscape photos are spot on! I'll look into the area north of Sydney as soon as I arrive! Many thanks.

I'm spending 1 1/2 months in Australia beginning mid-July. I'll be

based in Sydney most of that time, but will spend 1 week in Perth at

beginning of August. I do landscape photography

(www.CaptureLight.com), so I'd greatly appreciate pointers for

interesting places to photograph during my stay. I will be renting

cars to get to these places on 1-3 day trips from Sydney. Thanks in

advance for your help!

Alec, that's exactly the camera I have, so you've answered my question very succinctly. Thank you!

Ake, I'm taking an extended trip (2 months) and would like to have all my film purchased up front. That makes 220 film more attractive because it halves the weight and bulk the film will occupy. In addition, 220 film reputedly has less of a film flatness problem ... but my main reason is the weight and bulk.

Thanks again!

I have been successfully using this camera with 120 film. I would

like to try 220 film, which according to an ancient manual seems

feasible. However, there doesn't seem to be anything to change on the

camera if you want to use the longer film. Is that correct? Do I just

put the 220 film in and shoot?

Any clarifications, handholding, etc, is appreciated!
