I have the Nikon 70-300/4-5.6 ED and it is terrible at 300mm/5.6. So
I'm considering replacing two Nikon zooms for the Tamron XR. I guess
it's now called the Tamron AF28-300mm/3.5-6.3 XR DI LD Aspherical IF
MACRO lens. The magazines (especially PopPhoto) and other testers say

       Yes, time flies, doesn't it? Here you thought you had another week to
do "Heat"...
       The turn falls to Gordon Moat, who's at work right now and cannot
post to the newsgroup, so he asked me if I could get you guys started,

       And I might have one coming soon. Crazy day, no time to scan yet...
       Enjoy! (Even without me, you ingrates...;-))

Just bought a Voigtlander (Voigtländer) Vitomatic I rangefinder,
originally sold in the very late 1950s and very early 1960s.  Several
websites say it has a pc sync socket for flash.  A Google search on
"pc sync socket" did not readily reveal whether that term is a

Anyone have any idea of how to scan this film without cutting the
individual frames and mounting in glass slides? The images may not be
the greatest and I know I'll be limited in print sizes but this is
mostly to archive the images...personal memories.

The Voigtlander (Voigtländer) Vitomatic I camera I just bought has a
shutter speed scale that goes from 1/300s of a second to 1 second to B
to, ostensibly (as far as I can figure), a range in full seconds from
4 to 60 minutes, the latter in green.    However, I can't move the

Are there great advantages of the EOS 3? Used EOS 3 prices on EBay are not that
much more than a new 7NE. Of course technology marches on, so perhaps one has
an advantage.

And going with a new, and incompatible, mount using optical coupling for
data communication and magnetic power coupling.

I'm looking for a macro lens (EF) to fit a Canon Rebel. I went to Ebay
and I could not find any dedicated lenses to take my close ups. I am a
Dental Hygiene student and I will be required to take pictures of
people's teeth. There are lenses that will go 28-110mm however I am

I use a canon 10D and would like a telezoom lens for nature photography
both for use on a tripod but especially to carry around on hiking trips
where weight is a factor. After many deliberations I have limited my
choices to either the Canon EF 100-400/f.4.5-5.6 L USM IS or the ...

I have been using my Tokina ATX 28-70 F2.8 under extension quite a bit with
a Canon eos Elan 7e . I am using the Bogen/Manfrotto 3419 Positioning plate
with the camera on a bogen 3265 head. I'm pretty happy with the positioning
plate and even if I wasn't I don't see much ...

Recently I was sitting in the back seat of a car driving at very high speed
on a test circuit. I was photographing the event for a magazine, the driver,
the speedometer showing top speed, the passenger in the front seat, lots of
blur etc. The car was travelling at a steady 240kph ...

It looks like someone submitted an official proposal to create
"REC.PHOTO.DSLR". I saw this posted at news.groups this morning:

I want to shoot B&W film and scan the negatives.
When _printing_ the negatives the use of filters (yellow - orange - red)
is advised while shooting, is there any point in using a yellow filter
when I only want to scan the film and do corrections in Photoshop?
