Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / June 2006SD to Compact Flash Adapter
For those like me who have a handful of SD memory cards but whose new toy only uses CF cards, I found an adaptor at Mittoni.com that does the trick. I tried the Type II adapter which is supposed to be good for SD cards up to 1 GB, but my 2 GB SD card works fine. Lets my D200 use CF and SD`s, albeit the SD transfer rate is significantly slower but fast enough that it is not a problem unless you fire away lots of RAW shots in a brief time frame. Then it is REALLY slow. Now I don`t know how reliable this is but as a backup, this solution works for me.

I just got the dang thing yesterday evening, and have not taken 2 GB of pictures onto the card. I have transferred 2 GB of image files via computer through the adapter and it works.

Price was US$59.95. With mine, the SD card slides into the side of the adapter. It is necessary to remove the adapter from the camera in order to access the SD card. The package says it will work with up to 512 MB, but I'm using it with a 1GB SD card. No, I haven't tried to fill the card yet!

At the time when these adapters first came out, maybe those were at the top end of memory cards?

Max it out, let us know.  SignatureRegards, Matt Clara www.mattclara.com > > Possibly the maximum MB/GB limit was more a marketing limit that never > > got updated.

That is as maxed out as I was able to get. BTW, I love your "Chicago Holga Fun". First thing I thought of was "Citizen Kane". Good stuff. Just goes to show that it is not the camera that is important! Wish I had less equipment and more talent!

Funny thing is, we run into people we perceive as having more talent than our own all the time. I know I do. On another note, you mentioned you're a radiologist. My dad was a radiologist. Not many of them. Do you live in the states? SignatureRegards, Matt Clara www.mattclara.com > Do you live in the states? I live in Canada. Many of my fellow graduates left and set-up shop in the states. Most are retired in Fiji. :)) My kids are still young so I will still have to plug at it for a while, but the advantage is that I can still coherse them into going to the botanical gardens for family pictures and give me a chance to play with my new toys. Tien >> Do you live in the states? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Tien Sounds like you've got a good thing going. My dad was slowed down by multiple sclerosis, but he still did ok in the 15 years he was able to practice. His classmates from U of M medical school, however, are for the most part millionaires. That always kinda pissed him off! SignatureRegards, Matt Clara www.mattclara.com |
