Fellow members, thank you for reminding me about the proper spelling of the do hicky, thing, with the funny looking numbers on it, that you turn back and forth, to get some sort of desired effect.😆

I have seen the word, like all of you, about a million times, but, what can I say?
To be honest, spelling has never been my strong suite.

I will now go and place my nose in the circle on the chalk board, while wearing my dunce cap, after writing apature a thousand times. Dang, there I go again!

Haven' fun, that's what I do!

Out with my sweetheart today, scored a like new Richo KR 10x Super/50 f2, at a local thrift shop for 15.00.

Of course it didn't work!

Till I installed 2 fresh Silver oxides.😉
Just need to load a roll, and give her try!

Anyone have any info. on this camera.

If I remember, Richo owns Pentex now?
Sure looks like a Pentex.

Hi ladies and gents,
First post from a semi-experienced beginner, so please be gentle.😊

While shooting today, I realized that maybe I have been looking at apature settings wrong, in that I always used apature as a way to control the cameras ability to shoot in low/bright lighting situations, understanding depth of field is a function of this setting.

I do understand there are lighting situations where you must compomise, and may have to use a lower/higher f-stop to get the exposure right, while forgoing depth of field considerations.

I quess my question is, do most of you approach apature from a depth of field perspective FIRST, and then s. speed and ISO second, if possible, to provide proper exposure while in apature priority?

Thank you in advance, for trying to stuff, more stuff in my thick skull.
