If there's third-party makers, then what are the 2nd and 4th?

What's the sharpest setting on this lens?
And this one?
I bought a camera. It was just delivered and is on my desk right now. Do you
think it will be too heavy to use?

Moving beyond my Yashica-mat LM, I just bought a Pentax 67II, several
lenses, and a Nikon Coolscan 9000ED.  Cracks me up that the Pentax is
such a beast when sitting next to my Canon 35mm stuff.
Concerning the Pentax and a tripod.  Read on someone's website that you

Does the wood hand grip make a big difference?
Thanks.

Okay so my Yashica Mat 124 delivery is nigh (tomorrow morning) and I'm
preparing myself to take pictures with it as soon as it's out of the
box.
This can only mean trekking across town to B&H to get some film!

I see an EL, PQ and PQS, and those are available new, so their differences
are explained (EL = Budget, PQ = Professional Quality, PQS = PQ with faster
shutter speed).  But then I see a 50mm on Ebay that says only 50mm 1:4 HFT
Made by Rollei (no other designations).  I assume this ...

I bought one six months ago for $350--now I see they're going for close to
$900!  KEH has none, nor did any of the other second hand estores I
frequent.  It's suddenly a commodity, so I'm sellin' it!  :-)  Funny how
prices fluctuate so.  When I first bought my 18-35mm Nikon for ...

I am aware that a 35mm photo will print clearly up to about A4 in size,
but at A3 (magazine double-page spread) it is noticably fuzzy. So that
seems to suggest that the maximum realistic scan resolution from a 35mm
slide is a file of about 100Mb.

To the owners of Fuji GA645,
I recently bought the above camera from KEH in "bargain" condition.
The camera has a shutter cycle counter and it is showing 187 00 (18,700
shutter fires).  What is the reliability of these shutters?  Should I

So anyway, I just happen to be browsing on eBay the other day, in the
"Vintage/Collectibles" section, and there's a 1936 vintage Zeiss Ikoflex II
TLR (the one with teh focus lever, no double exposure protection, seperate
shutter cocking and film wind) coming up in half an hour, and ...

When I use my Metz 60CT-4 with my M645 in the vertical position I find
the flash cumbersom and annoying as it becomes so high and heavy above
the camera. Is there a way of flipping the camera without having to
move the flash from its lefthand position? Thanks.

I currently have a Mamiya 645 Pro TL. Will the ZD Back work with this
body? I'm guessing not.
If I trade in my Pro TL for a 645AFD, will I be able to use my existing
lenses? I currently have an 80mm f/2.8 manual, a "super wide" 35mm

No, this is not my eBay auction, but it caught my attention as I see the way
this person worded the first sentence of the description, and especially the
title, as very deceptive.
