A common problem with the older, non lock up 6x7s is that there is excess spacing between frames. The normal fix seems to be replacing the rubber frame counter roller. Pentax replaced this roller with a metal one in the newer models. But is there a DIY fix of the rubber roller that returns it to normal function? I'm guessing that the roller diameter changes over time, causing the spacing problem.

Thanks Peter! It was only slightly polarized, as I didn't turn it all the way. It would be too dark.

What a cracker!!!
Thanks Gary. There was lightning all around and I debated whether I should risk it. I chose to shoot it and it turned out well.

Hi Gary-- I'm not sure what that plant is called but it is quite common in much of the South Pacific. Yes, they do have a nasty understory that makes walking through them a real challenge. They like to grow on eroded limestone, as seen here. I thought this shot was Velvia 50 but I dug out the slide and saw it was Velvia 100f. Didn't buy any business class airfares but did get a couple of cheap seats for next April to French Polynesia. :)

Glad to hear you liked that shot Gary! I used to travel quite a bit in the South Pacific and had many shots published from it. There is just so much potential for slide film there. It is my favorite place to shoot.

Another option is to go retro with the Pentax 67 (film). It is a proven landscape camera and the wide lenses are affordable. The 45mm and the 55-100 zoom make a minimalist package that works well for landscapes.

Silent Street (Gary)-- I have seen most of the work that you posted here, on other forums, with the exception of the boulders and small waterfall. Very nice work. Good eye.
