<p>Hi<br>

I recently bought a used F3 from a professional photostore. Unfortunately if I advance the film leveler the shutter releases without pushing the button. Is this a setting I'm not a aware of or is it broken? Actually it did work for half of the roll, but I don't remember to have set anything differently, but maybe accidentally.<br>

Cheers,<br>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Do F3, F3HP, F3/T come with split-image screens?<br>

Cheers,<br>

Y.</p>

<p>I have read good things about Pentax 645 now. Three questions remain:<br>

- Will the two later Pentax 645 models allow for manual focusing as well and are they operatable without a batterie?<br>

- Will the original manual model provide a split image screen?<br>

- What are the benefits of 645NII over 645N?<br>

Cheers</p>

<p>Lighter than my Hasselblad 500c/m, not Pentax 67.<br>

The Pentacon is really slightly lighter: http://www.pentaconsix.com/TheCameras.htm (weight at the bottom) and the body is more portable.<br>

The Mamiya 330 is heavier, it's about 2kg. Maybe I should definitely look at 6x4.5 cameras or go with the communist.</p>

<p>I'd like to read about medium format cameras that are good for shooting portrait stuff. Most likely in 6x7 (but I guess there isn't any apart from the heavy pentax67).<br>

I have a 500c/m with 80mm and it should be lighter than that. The Pentacon Six TL (right, also 6x6) isn't from what I read.</p>

<p>Thanks. Will put the F3 HP on my list (don't want to buy into new lenses anyway). Definitely liked what I saw from the body.</p>

<p>Has the K-1000 a split-image mattescreen?</p>

<p>Pentax K1000 hasn't a split-frame image mattescreen from what I read, is this true? Also: Would the winder issue be different from the Nikon?</p>

<p>Which cameras, also from other manufacturers, are similar than my FM2? The thing that's a bit unsettling is the film advance crank, cause I have to focus with my left eye and it's lying on my right eye all the time.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for the responses. That Donke looks like a fit.</p>

<p>Hello<br>

I'm looking for a camerabag that fits only my Nikon FM2 and attached 50mm to put it in a bag. Run and go. At which ones should I have a look at?<br>

Cheers</p>

<p>It's also a question about how do you intend to focus.</p>

<p>Bigger difference than I thought.<br>

David, which matte screen cameras would that be?</p>

<p>I wonder if there is a website which compares weights of camera systems with a standard lens attached.<br>

Maybe someone can tell me about the weight difference among Mamiya RB / RZ and Fuji G680 III. I'm currently shooting with a Hasselblad 500 c/m but like to inform myself about 6x7 and 6x8 systems.</p>

<p>I have the 500 c/m. My lens is a 80mm CF lens, so no self-timer on it.<br>

Apropos windups, someone in another forum posted this <a href="http://www.kameramuseum.de/zubehoer/ausloeser/autoknips-4.html">link</a> from a camera-museum, it would be in the way of the lens, but maybe with a cable release attached.<br>

Or maybe a 201F-Body then.</p>

<p>Would be on the image, but do you've got a link?</p>

<p>Is there some kind of a selftimer for Hasselblads?</p>

<p>I see what you mean now. My Hasselblad got a 3/8-thread. So my two options basically would be<br /> <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/469920-REG/Arca_Swiss_801102_Monoball_Z1_sp_with.html">Arca-Swiss Monoball Z1 single pan with 3/8</a> 364.95$<br /> <a href="http://reallyrightstuff.com/rrs/Itemdesc.asp?ic=B2-Pro%2FL&eq=&Tp=">B2-Pro/L: 80mm clamp with dual mount</a> 87$<br /> <a href="http://reallyrightstuff.com/rrs/Itemdesc.asp?ic=B22&eq=B22-006&Tp=">RRS B22 plate with a 3/8-16 screw</a> 55$<br>

<br /> or<br>

<br /> <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/469077-REG/Arca_Swiss_801103_Monoball_Z1_sp_with.html">Arca-Swiss Monoball Z1 single pan with Quick Release</a> 389.95$<br /> <a href="http://reallyrightstuff.com/rrs/Itemdesc.asp?ic=B22&eq=B22-006&Tp=">RRS B22 plate with a 3/8-16 screw</a> 55$<a href="http://reallyrightstuff.com/rrs/Itemdesc.asp?ic=B22&eq=B22-006&Tp="><br /> </a></p>

<p>I have no plate at all so far, so why couldn't the Hasselblad use the one from Gitzo?</p>

<p>So your recommendation would be:<br /> - Arca-Swiss Monoball Z1 sp (Single Pan) Ballhead with 3/8" Screw or 1/4"?<br /> - <a href="http://reallyrightstuff.com/rrs/items.asp?Cc=BodyHassy&iTpStatus=0&Tp=&Bc=">RRS B22: Multipurpose Fore-Aft with 3/8-16 </a> <br /> - <a href="http://reallyrightstuff.com/rrs/items.asp?Cc=ClampsPro&iTpStatus=0&Tp=&Bc=">RRS screw-clamp</a> (which one?)</p>

<p>What do you guys think about Gitzos Traveler center ball (GH2781TQR) ?</p>

<p>Yes, a ballhead I mean.</p>

<p>Hi<br>

I'd like to buy my first and last center ball for my 501 c/m. Which one would you recommend me?<br>

Cheers</p>
