Rocky,
Is yours a single stroke or a double-stroke?
Mine's a double-stroke.

I just bought a Pentax K-70 this summer. I know its just a point and shoot compared to the equipment that a lot of y'all have but like it. It has an amazing low light capability that I need. Like the Capt. said. I would love to see the set up that y'all are using to get some of those great photo's that you post here. Good luck with the new eq. Capt.

Congrats on your high-end camera, Captain. You have a macro lens for close-up shots to go with it? And a really stable tripod, of course? NOBODY needs anything more sophisticated or more expensive. All the rest is lighting. And composition. I do recommend tethered shooting for more control, though (computer connected to the camera via cable or WLAN). I haven't bought a new camera in years. Let us know how you like it.

Love that M3. I still have a M6 that I haven't touched in 10 years - shame on me!

Your pictures are always spot on, Capt. Chris. They make me want more and more... Not sure why you got that new camera in the first place

Capt, While this may not fit here....I needed to catch your, or anyone's attention...I need to know about "focus shift" and how it occurs. I sold that Leica camera body, as well as some lenses...and appears that one byer is claiming "focus shift"....from what I read, it's something that needs both pieces to come into play, the camera body, and the camera lens, however, I my be incorrect....can anyone help me understand this phenomenon?? Thanks :-)Rocky

Rocky, if I understand it correctly, this is an optical problem that occurs due to spherical aberration and that can only be eliminated when constructing the lens. But it only occurs with SLRs - not with a viewfinder camera like the Leica M3... Depth of field is something different. It can be quite narrow if you are really close. Backing up helps but you'll lose a lot of your precious high-res

Also, you can run a higher f-stop if you slow down the shutter speed (a side effect of running higher ASA film).
I believe the rule of thumb was to never go below 1/60 if you're holding it by hand. If you're mounting the camera on a tripod and using a remote trigger, you can run some awfully low shutter speeds.

Thanks guys!!! This is the ammo I was looking for...I guess the fellow that bought my lens, and either used it for what he wanted, lacks experience, or simply decided that they did not want the lens after all eBay/PayPal...you just gotta love um...all in favor of the buyer, screw the seller sorry to hijack the thread
