Alex's Gallery Information

Photo equipment

    My system of choice is Pentax. The reasons for this are quality, ergonomics, FA 28-70 4AL price/features ratio, etc. The specific equipment that I use is listed below:
    • Pz-1p - this is Pentax's current, top of their line, 35mm body
    • ZX-M - Pentax's current, light, traditional controls, MF 35mm body
    • FA 28-70 4AL lens - AF, sharp, light, cheap zoom
    • A 70-210 f4 lens - MF, heavy, one-touch zoom
    • FA 135 f2.8 lens - VERY nice lens
    • K 50 f1.4 lens - very nice MF lens
    • FA 50 f1.4 lens - just as nice, but AF
    • Soligor 2x TC - cheap teleconverter, makes excellent soft focus images when combined with 50/1.4
    • FDp Grip for Pz-1p
    • various filters, brackets, flashes (TTL and auto), and other junk
    My other system of choice is based on Bronica SQ-A, which is a 6x6, medium format camera. It's square, affordable, easy to use without having to read the manual. It lacks TTL flash metering.
    • PS 80 f2.8
    • S 50 f3.5
    • Grip
    • Polaroid back
    • Non-metered prism
    Zenit equipment I also own the old (~20 years old) Zenit B.  It is shown here with 35mm lens on it, 50mm lens in front of it, and a set of extension rings to the left of the camera.  This Zenit has M42 mount (same as Pentax Universal, same as Pentax screw mount) which allows me to use these two primes along with the rings on my PZ-1p. I also own 35mm and 50mm primes along with a set of m42 extension tubes.




    I also own Yashica T4 Super. This simple camera is weather resistant, has sharp optics, and features a second right angle viewfinder. Quite useful for snapshots when it's raining or when you want to take a picture without attracting too much attention.
