So, I recently came by a Zenit EM, and I have a question about it:
While the shutter and mirror return in good order, the aperture
remains closed (to the right diameter) as long as the shutter release
is depressed. Does anyone know if this is a design feature peculiar to

Just had ups leave a shot time ago and they came with my Voigtlander
Bessamatic SLR camera. This one the meter is dead, but with my two handheld
meters I'm well in the field of being able to use the camera as I had one
back in the 60's when it was new.

This guy has got to be the ultimate QA tester for Nikon.  With 410,000 shots
under his belt on a D70 and over 600,000 shots on his D2x and D2h he has got

Both of you need to spend less of your creative energy wasted on this
stuff and shoot more. Shoot. No criticism of one another. No
communication to each other. No communication about each other. No
visits to the others web sites. Shoot, shoot, shoot...be again

Some say they're pests, some keep them as pets. They often outlive humans...

I have a Nikon Coolscan 5000 ED with which I
am quite pleased.  The software supplied by
Nikon, however, is another matter.  It is
