Hi everybody! I bought my first real camera a week ago and I wonder if I
could use rechargable CR2 batteries with it. Please give me some advice!

I have access to a darkroom that's been out of service for nearly 30
years now.  Its in a home basement, and has been moderately cold most
of that time. Not dry tho, but not flooded either.  And its been pretty
much in the dark that whole time, with the door shut and has remained

Hello to all,
I will be on a business trip in Chicago, and I'd like to buy a lens for my
Canon, given the good euro/dollar ratio.
Anyone could suggest a store with good prices?

I've just started using photoshop at the beginner level , could anybody
reccommend a book easy to understand otherwise I am lost again.
Thank you in advance.

I always suspected these electrical inventions would be my ruin some
day, I  reflected, sadly; and now I'm side-tracked and left helpless in
this outlandish country, without a single hope of ever getting home
again. They probably won't be able to kill me, unless they find my

I am shooting my sister's wedding in May, something I haven't done in over
25 years.  It's her wedding present.  But, I don't know the labs any more.

I have a Nikon F90X/N90X with an MB10 vertical grip. Problem is, the grip
is screwed in too tightly for me to get it loose. The screw wheel also
sinks slightly into the body of the whole assembly, so I can't get to it

Just finished remodeling my bathroom and want to take some pictures of
it.  The small room size will be enough of a challenge, but I have a
20-35mm zoom so that will help.  My main concern is the lighting.  The
room has a flourescent ceiling ficture and an incandescent 4-bulb

I have a couple hoods for some of my Canon FD lenses that bayonet into

used Nikon FE w/28-105 Sigma Lens fresh from ebay. Some of the shots
has a strip of whiteness and I wonder if it is because the camera

...I had a buddy enter an image taken with his Canon 10D DSLR with a 50mm
prime lens. Incredible. The MTF was 62.49, almost 3 times that of the

Just got my prints from my brand new Vivitar pz3140 P&S.
Paid $55 for 38-140mm!(cant beat it)
It's a simple camera, date, panorama, zoom, etc.
Nothing fancy.

color (especially in 35mm), is there any recommendation (or must have)?
