Camera Talk

It is of no use as my cameras are IKOFLEX.

MIKE please describe how to do the infinity focus reset.

I have two IKOFLEX 1 and 1a both have 75mm 3.5 NOVAR. The 1a is non functioning and has better coating. Will swapping the taking lenses front elements cause focus issues?

I have a PENTAX 50mm f 1:4 SUPER TAKUMAR. Will the yellowing have the same or similar effect upon black & white film?

Thank you, I had read opinions regarding both but nothing absolute. It may be because of the fact that it was manufactured in communist EAST GERMANY and reliable information may have been difficult to get. One site says PRONTOR another COMPUR. Which would you say is the better more reliable? Also do...

Mike, I have read that it is possibly an EAST GERMAN COMPUR equivalent. It is an odd duck. I have seen a reference to a 1930's BEIRAX with the same serial number as my 1957/58 model. Are you familiar with the lens quality? It is a 105 mm 4.5 E. LUDWIG MERITAR.

I tried to post photos got a notice that file was too large. I'll have my daughter fix the problem. At 80 I am not a computer whiz.

I have bought a circa 1957/58 BEIR BEIRAX II E. LUDWIG 105 mm 4.5 MERITAR TEMPOR SHUTTER. I am not familiar with BEIR LUDWIG or TEMPOR. I'm aware that it is not on a par with my VOIGTLANDER BESSA and AGFA BILLY COMPUR however it appears to be well built. Does anyone have an opinion or review?

GrahamS, Thank you. I had thought that NIKKOR lenses must be of superb quality however finding no review left me wondering if this lens could be on the list of inferior lenses made by even the best lens makers.

GrahamS, I was in error, it is a NIKKOR Q. What is your opinion of it?
