Re: Super Wester Rehab Questions...
You know, it's almost like it's sliding off of the helical, but it isn't because it re-engages. If it was off the helical, you wouldn't think that it would re-engage each time. I'm eager to see what you learn.

Re: Pentax 17
I used to scan all of my 35mm on an Epson flatbed. I also have an older HP Photosmart S20. It allows you to readjust the frames.

Re: The Contarex 50mm is pretty amazing
I've shot a bit of film with that lens and have always been pleased with it.
