Market for film cameras	21 Apr 2005 02:09 GMT	11
I've moved onto digital photography, so I'm trying to sell my old film cameras. I have a Pentax MZ-50 with a 28-80mm sigma zoom lens plus a few filters. I'm currently selling it on ebay UK (I won't tell you the listing number so that I can't be accused of spamming!)

This appears to be the last resort for my Leica M3 with the blacked out finder. According to their website http://www.angelfire.com/biz/Leica/ they are able to fix the finder by resilvering the prisms and re-cementing them.

WTF is this constant, stupid bullshit over "LIONEL LAUER". Can't not say it anymore. WTF, who the /f.ck/'s time is /that invaluable/ that they bother going thru this? who the hell's /that/ meaningless?

Another question that relates to digital vs. film. Some time ago I heard of concerns about the life of music CDs. Deterioration over time? This would be very upsetting for me and anyone else who has an extensive
Lens diaphragm doesn't open completely (Nikon 50 1.4 AI)	19 Apr 2005 14:57 GMT	6
I recently acquired a second-hand Nikon 50mm 1.4 manual focus. The lens behaves strangely: according to my camera light meter, it is two stops slower than a 50 1.8 lens that I trust (i.e. if I set them at the same aperture, the light meter suggests an exposure time two

Can anybody with actual experience with both of these filters comment (compare?) on them, concerning their quality, performance, longevity etc. I have a Rodenstock C-Pol for my DigitCam and like the way it works. It is high quality coated glass, mounted on brass rings and has ...
