yeah, there is obviously a difference because there not the same focal length. The would probably be nice results with a s-16 gate, but the 17-69 that come with your kraz is wide and fast. just something to consider i suppose. Not much i can say though i suppose because i only have a standard 16 gate. if your buying it from e-bay, dont go off the pictures featured to judge what you will be getting because is litterally a tiny portion out of the middle of the picture that u'd be getting. they tend to put full frame digi slr snaps up to reel you in.

I visited the lab and the bad quality is due to the film stock. The stock hadnt been strored in a cold enough environment and it was around 28 years old!!! I know must find a more reliable source for when buying stock. Does anyone know the best place to purchase stock in the uk? i hear that kodak or fuji do student discount, is this true? p.s, the duckling shot's white bits are from base remaining on the negative, another consequence of using bad stock thanx for eveyones input

here are the other screen caps. notice the blue tint. also the duckling cap has some of the image mising, is this from the emulsion being scratched in camera?

the thing is, this is the highest res. Its a screen cap from the standard def dv tape and it looks horrible i know. i have some other examples however, I shall email you some if i can get your e-mail address, im not sure how to attatch anymore images, it keeps rejecting them. Im going to visit the lab tommorrow to try and get some some answers and inspect the negative. thanks for your help

more images to be added soon

this is a test roll shot on a kraznogorsk 3 shot on some fuji 500t i did not recieve a lab report and had the shots transfered to DV. I cant afford to get a print done so i wanted to ask anybodys opinion on the blue tinting, noise and also what look like scuff marks on one of the images. It was a 1 light print but still, the image seems to have red,green and blue noise. i know alot of the night stuff is under exposed but is there any other suggestions to why the quality is so bad? screen caps attatched

I wouldn't bother with the zenitar 16mm fisheye f2.8 for your krasnogorsk, a 28mm prime seems to look just as wide and 28mm macros are also availiable so you can have subjects very close. trust me, i paid £115 for my fish-eye and i only use it on my 35mm slr
