Hello Thanks for all your contributions to the discussion. Culdn't answer earlier sorry. Eventually I bought for 45 euro (photographic shop in Paris) Meyer Pentacon 135 I tested yesterday. I am going to have the result wednesday. Seemed ok to me it is quite fast (2.8) but somehow I found it hard to focus properly even if with tele-objectives focus is usually pretty obvious. I'll let you know about the tests.

Hello I recently bought a Krasnogorsk K3. I whish to buy a complementary teleobjective lens. I've found for example on ebay a Car Zeiss Jenna Triotar 135/4 or a Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 135/3.5. I am still looking for a 200mm. Anyway what are your experiences/advices with tele M42 lenses for K3 ? Any help highly apreciated. Thanks. François

Hello I am planning to buy a K3 camea this week-end and there are a few topics that are not quite clear to me. 1. adapters. I have several Nikon and Leica M lenses available for free (can be borrowed). So I was considering the option of buying and adapter ring ( found some for both brands), but I am wondering if there could be any problems with focus. There shouldn't be right ? 2. R1 R2 ? The camera is a standard non modified K3. can I load it with R1 film ? Thanks F.

As anybody read about or tried the Nstf Great Britain (national film and televion school) ? They also provide several short specialised courses on different aspects of lighting ?

Thanks everybody. F.

The B&W stock isn't B&W it's an old color stock (but I can't remember wich one) printed on blackandwhite. F.

Hi Dirk, I know you! I worked at the grading of a short I directed in De Jonghe back in 99. How much do you sell these cartridges ? Can you provide other stocks too ? Thanks Rob for your reply, I'd like to contact them but I can't find an e-mail of these guys and a phone call could be tricky as I am in europe. Do you have their mail ? Thanks guys. F.

I want to shoot photos with some film stock, I dit it already and used to make my own photo cartridges, which is a lot of painful work to do, and as the smallest quantity of film you can buy is 30m, you always have some film left. I've read in some post taht RGB lab in hollywood sells photo carters with 35mm stock. Have you tried these ? Do you know if there is a similar product somewhere in europe ? F.

Thank you for your Info 5263 was a really great stock, and a perfect choice in that case. F.
