Hi --
I just got a Canon AE-1 and it seems to work fine except that the LED
that is supposed to flash when the timer is active is *always* on. (At
least as long as I leave the battery in it...)

I ordered a Nikon MF-21 from KEH in "Like New - " condition. MF-21 arrived
yesterday and had VERY noticeable scratches, scuffs, etc. Far from the Like
New- description provided by KEH. Of course, they will take it back, but I'm
out the 9.99 (high) shipping charge + the shipping ...

HEADS UP -
There is someone sending out e-mails with the forged names and e-mail
addresses of various Usenet contributors, including people who frequent
this newsgroup.

I know that Polaroid had a real bad stint there (and they are not out of
the woods yet) and so they started dropping products left and right. The
one thing I really wanted to try out was their slide film...in
particular the monochromatic stock (can't remember the name at the

I am interested in buying a Leicaflex SL2 in good condition. Please
email me if you have one to sell or if you can recommend a dealer to
contact.
Thanks,

Whose turn is it to pick a mandate for this [SI]?  According to Matt Clara's
rulz page it would be Matt White's. However, I seem to remember Al sending
some sort of e-mail saying that someone dropped out...  Would it be my turn
(Eric Quesnel-Williams)?

a Canon SLR with 28/2,8 and 50/1.8 ?
Does anyone has ever experiences this migration ?
Usage is slide projection.

No one's done the big grilling, and so I thought I'd give it a go.

Skip, nicely done.  I like the gradation of light too and from the
horizon.  Others have commented on the sparkles, and I think that

I purchased a Leica M7 in late June and am about to buy my 3rd set of
batteries. The manual suggests  I should get about 65 rolls from my
batteries, however I think I  am getting far far less. I bought the
camera used, and not a mark on it. I am told it is about 2 years old

Tamarkin is a NY dealer specialized in Leica equipment.  Anyone have any
experience with them?  Customer service, timeliness, helpfulness?  Thanks.

...is like my dirty little secret!
I picked it up this morning and it is a whopper compared to the 18-70mm
DX. How the hell do I keep this a secret from my wife for the next few
weeks?

I've noticed that in places (museums, mansions) where photography is not
allowed they use some type of low ceiling yellow light
that renders photos too dark.  The lamps seem to be placed
at precise spots where tourists would want to take photos.

Please tell me the function of the small, retractable (by spring
action) pin at the screw-mount base of the interchangeable lens on my
Pentax Spotmatic 35mm SLR (film-type, not digital).  Would it have
anything to do with the lens's AUTO/MANUAL function?  If so, if the

i'll be in florida next month and wanted to know if there is a good
photo shop in the area around daitona.
i'm interested in nikon and canon lenses.
thank you in advance.
