Are there import restrictions or somehting? I would
have thoguth a couple
of rolls of 120 could be sent by post without any problems.
No restrictions, but EXPENSIVE AS HELL. I've been planning in getting a
ZX-80, a ZX-81 (preferably in kit form) and a Spectrum (any model, but I'd
prefer the +2 or +3)...But mail prices from UK to Brazil are outrageous...
There is a gotcha relating to the mechanism that
ocuples the aperture
ring to the meter.There heen 2 major designs known as 'non AI' and 'AI'.
If the lens wil lmount and you have the wrong sort of coupling, then the
thing can still be used in stop-down metering mode. But AIcoupling
depends on a cutout in the back of the aperture ring, which old lenses
don't haev On somes cameras you can fold away the AI coulping link, so
such a lens will mount. On others you cna't and the lens doesn't fit
unless you modify/replace the aperture ring. The modified rings are no
longer available, so you have to attack the one you have (after removign
it from the rest of the lens, of course) with an end mill.
Interesting to know, thanks!
THe eye of the photographer is much more important
than the cmaera....
Sure it is! But I love the resources I have with this superzoom (and
CHEAP!) camera :)
