Stunning.
Why didn't they make more of these?  I understand that its supposed to
be limited in the first place, but still, its so gaudy that its great!

I noticed that my lens on my camera will not stay dust free for a second. I
can clean it with the little brush and with the tissue. But the dust just
gets moved around. I don't have any of the liquid stuff. Will it hurt to
use the cleaner that I bought for my glasses?

I'm not sure if I have fungus in my lenses.  I'd left them largely untouched
in a dry but dark area for roughly 2 years.  I've got a 19-35mm cheapo and a
Canon EF 75-300 that I finally whipped out in prep for an incoming D30 (yes,
I know, but I have little money).

When people talk about scanners, I heard them talk about 30bit or
36bit? What this refer to? The bit width of A/D convertor?  In the spec
of Dual III, I found the A/D width is 16 bit, is it too low?
And, people the maximized Dmax is 4.0 in theory, 3.8 is very very good

I'm looking for an article/website that explains why stopping down a
lens increases the DOF. Diagrams are welcome.
Basically, I'm looking for physical explanation behind the concept.
thanks

Ok, i received these two chinar lenses.
On one, the apeture diaphram opens and closes and stops down all the way.  
On the other, the 135mm one, the diaphram does not move at all, not even
partially.

I recently upgraded my news reader software and took the opportunity to
clean out all my old message filters at the same time (rather than
moving them over) so I could start anew. I notice Polson seems to be no
longer with us; whatever happened to him?

But they hate film cameras even more.

Completely off the top of my head idea, haven't researched at all so
probably complete rubbish, but...
How practical would gyroscopic stabilisation be for hand-held shooting
to counter camera-shake?

It is illegal to do that. Buy software that will record their IP

authorities, attorney general to ask the ISP to give the name and
address of the IP owner so you can sue them in court. Your bandwidth is

The 35mm format was adopted, largely by accident, 80 years ago, for a

I noticed that the mirror of my SRT-101 works like that:
- when a fast time is set( > 1/8s) the mirror returns ok
- when a slow time is set( <= 1/8s) the mirror doesn't return, but it
still remains locked up. When I load the film to be ready for the next

Any good ? Because very cheap ...
Thanks
