I'd like to rent a Canon EF long lens to photograph birds at Ding
Darling National Wildlife Refuge, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA (300mm,
400mm, 500mm, or 600mm). I prefer to pick up the lens in Florida
instead of shipping it, as rental fees accumulate during the shipping

Hi All. I've got an unusual problem. Just picked up an F2 with the DP-11
finder (F2A) and I can't see the exposure info or shutter speed indicator
inside the viewfinder. I can see the ADR but that's it. I compared this
finder to another DP-11 that I have and I can see the info ...

I am a photography newbie.  I am looking for a filter to use when
shooting under bright afternoon sun in high altitude.  Which one do
you prefer?

Last night a CD shattered in my CD-RW drive!
Sat spinning merrily away and suddenly, CRACK! one dead drive, one dead CD,
one corrupted Windows system file!

I'm about to purchase an SLR and i'm gravitating towards the
manual-only ones as I find manual photography more fun than where the
camera chooses aperture and shutter speed.
I noticed though that some SLRs have fancy automatic metering options,

I'm buying a couple of dogs in the upcoming weeks - a Rottweiler and a
Staffordshire Terrier (or Foxy). The Rottweiler is to guard my house -
some asswipe recently stole the pump for my pool in broad daylight (can
you believe that?) - and the Staffie's job is to wake the Rottie up ...

The timing for this mandate was a bad fit ... winter is one of
the better times for local culture, esp. the sugaring camp
season; further, La Fete St-Jean Baptiste, is this Thur (24) and
that is also culturaly important here in Quebec.

I'm looking for a ball-and-socket head to replace my trusty old Leitz head,
which just came apart in my hand.
Actually the base of the head was attached to a copy stand, and the platform
was attached to my camera... which just happened to be safely supported by

I intend to buy a filter 81A or 81B for my SLR. I want to remove a slight
bluish tint when I take pictures in a shade or on a overcast day. Which one
of the two is more useful for that purpose- what would you recommend? Would
it eliminate also that bluish tint on the snow, if I take ...

Some UK Leica dealers are now taking pre-orders for this item for
delivery Q4/2004.  The 10MP digital back has been developed with Kodak
and integrates with the Leica R8/R9 35mm SLR camera body to form a
fully convertible film/digital SLR.

Anyone know of any camera shops( not a 60 minute photo , etc ) in the Boston
/Woburn ( MA ) area?. I will be in the area and would like to check a few
out.

I just shot my first roll ever yesterday didn't get it developed yet. But I
will not get my hopes up to like this film too much since it is now
discontinued.

I have a manual  Richo camera that accepts pentax K mount lenses.
Can i use a pentax "M" mount lens with my richo?  Also what is the
difference between a "K"  & "M" mount lens? .

What new cameras are coming out soon? Am I going to be able to buy a
Canon EOS D3000 and take pro photos just like in National
Geomagraphic? I heard they all all Canon digital camera bodies from a
friend. Why do people use film anymore anyway?

Well, here ya go, people -- our tax dollars at work.
Last week I flew to Chicago from Seattle to photograph the Chicago
Blues Festival. I do a lot of that, flying around the country to shoot
music events. When I shoot Jazz Fest in New Orleans I always take at
