[SI] Bowser's Yaks	23 Jun 2005 00:47 GMT	5
I shot a pic of a couple of Yaks, I think. We don't get many Yaks in Massachusetts, so I'm not sure. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/45047302 If they're not Yaks, let me know.

There's been a few threads in this newsgroup about soviet and russian cameras lately. Can someone who's familiar with russian/soviet cameras and who followed the threads please sum up; which russian/soviet cameras are worth buying, if any?

Subject: DSLRs or Slide Film or Colour Negative Film? ;o)	22 Jun 2005 18:24 GMT	5
What's the real difference between slide film and negative film? And, to logically expand the discussion a little further, are there any tangible advantages to shooting digital rather than either of the film types?
Rain-X for badly scratched lens?	22 Jun 2005 13:08 GMT	11
For $20 off eBay I got a Takumar-A 28-80mm macro zoom... yes, my bad. The front element has more multiple shallow scratches than the seller mentioned. Sharpness is pedestrian until past F/8. I tried the old photographer's trick to minimize scratches on negatives:

It's my new diversion (Sunday afternoon vegetable state) movie. Used to be Galaxy Quest. (But now I just love Polly's (Gwyneth Paltrow) blonde hair & red lipstick. But I digress...) Her camera in the movie, looks like an Argus model.

Why?	21 Jun 2005 14:36 GMT	38
Why do you like or dislike this image? I found it more appealing than I can quantify. I found others that I framed as more appealing at the time I took them much less so when compared and developed. Is it just me or is there something primal and appealing about this image?

35mm SLR image compared to a sub 35mm DSLR image	21 Jun 2005 10:45 GMT	11
How do you compare digital to film? Do you make a negative from a digital file and then print it or do you scan a negative and compare it to a digital file? Sadly there is no way to fairly compare the two other than with final
PC plug to hotshoe thingy / PC plug, any high quality plugs available?	21 Jun 2005 06:28 GMT	3
Any ideas: I have one of those things you put in a cold shoe that has a hotshoe on top and a cable to connect to the camera's PC socket. It seems rather unreliable. I suspect that the plug does not make very good contact.
