I'm looking for some recommendations for a flash unit.  I've been through
some websites, but some suggestions from the NG would be appreciated.
Here's what I'd like:
-Hot-shoe mount for Canon EOS

Wanted to buy a flash for my Nikon F80, but have no experience on these TTL
flashlights.
Any good reference for me to study or any user comment on these two
products?  I know 800 is better however budget is one of my concern...

I have recently decided to purchase a digital SLR, and have settled on
a Canon EOS 20D.
As I am not "moving" to digital (indeed I am still building my
darkroom!) I would like to retain compatibility between a film camera

Just a quick question as to whether anyone knows what batteries the Practica
Super TL takes and where they might be got from.
Thanks,
Duncan.

Like new, many photos and details here:

50-500. I currently have a Sigma 170-500 and Nikon 28-200 but want something
a little longer that's still hand holdable. Forget ...

A good fortnight, bargains-wise; picked up a chrome FM3a for ?100 the other
week, and this week found myself a D100 with MB-D100 for ?400 (and 512Mb 80x
CF for ?50). Of course, I have no lenses yet...

Seems a very nice handling camera.
Large, clear and bright viewfinder.

From what I hear, the latest version of this lens has been compomised
slightly in the name of budget- an increase in plastics vs. metals, for
example. Is this true of older versions? Is it possible that pre-D lenses
will be more solid-feeling than post-D? Bear in mind i'm fairly ...

I'm planning on taking some pics of the eclipse thats occuring tonight.  I
have a tripod and a pentax k1000 with a 50mm 1:2 lens.  I 've never taken a
photo of the sky at night at all.  I think I will be able to get some
decent pics of it.  I have 800 spd kodak film in my camera ...

I set up my blocked sender list and killfile to eliminate any rubbish
related to and sent by William Graham as none of it appears to be camera
related.

I've read a good bit about bird photography from Arthur Morris's
excellent Birds as Art web site and one of the things that interested
me was the desirability of getting the camera close to the ground for
a more intimate perspective. But, having tried to do that I find it a
