I made an M42 adapter to be able to use old M42 lenses with CANON EOS.
I attached electric contacts and electronics from old 28-90 zoom lens
to get the focus confirmation. The problem is that it doesn't work
very well. The AF circuit in the camera sees everything like it would

I am looking for a focusing screen in excellent condition for a Nikon FG
camera.  I tried Nikon but they do not carry them any longer. I was
wondering if anyone out there knows of someone who has one just for parts or
who is willing to sell certain components from the Nikon FG.  Any ...

I appreciated all of the critiques of my shot.  All of them were
pretty much on target.  I didn't take offense to the critque that it
looked like a Sears catalogue shot because that was pretty much what I
shot it for.  The image is taken from a model's portfolio that she was

Is there a way to turn off the beep that the N75 makes when autofocus
locks?

Wie arbeitet der Belichtungsmesser der Canon AE-1?
Gibt er die nötige Blende an oder arbeitet er wie klassische
Belichtungsmesser - Mittelstellung = gut, oben = Über- und unten=
Unterbelichtet?

Hopefully I have the right group, if not, someone please direct me to it.
I'm looking to buy a point and shoot 35mm camera for a family member & would
appreciate some recommendations.
Requirements:

I backpack pretty frequently and want to purchase a lighter Nikon SLR body
to go with several lenses just for these camping trips. My primary usage of
the camera will be for landscapes, infrequent wildlife that I just stumble
upon, and occasional night-time, star trail shots. I ...

Hello everyone. I've tried searching but there seems to be very little info.
Is anyone familiar with the Sigma 100-300 f/4.5-6.7 DL lens? Any reviews
of it around the net?

At least for those of us in the northern hemisphere, spring, summer and fall
present the busiest photographic season...
From last spring until recently I shot about 30 rolls of slides, a few rolls of
negatives.

No wait, it was just Arafart.

Took this one deep in a Hawaiian jungle:

Ok, so it was in the McDonalds parking lot.  Sue me.

I'll have to go a little easy on everyone considering I barely made this
mandate (see the date info on the EXIF) and erotica is a difficult
subject to capture.  It's not nudity, it's not pornography... it falls
in between smut and art.  Has to be risque enough to stimulate ...

I am using an SLR Pentax and would like to photograph old photos from
hunting and fishing camps.
What kind of lens am I looking to get? Macro?
thankx!

Erotic is one of those extremely subjective things. I hope the following
comments will be found useful.

Skip (archive, tut) - I like this one on the whole, though somehow it

This is a Nikon AF 70-210mm zoom in very good condition. The only

get good connection to the lens. So the aperture info is erratic, on
and off. But manual focusing (also metering) works perfectly.
