More blah-blah about the death of film. I hate this crap since I love film,
but I thought it might be of interest to some of you:

Just got this scanner yesterday for color film negatives.  Works like a
charm with both print and film.  Also has guide attachments for 35mm
slides and medium format!  As expected, it's on the slower side
(compounded by the fact that I'm still running a system with USB 1.1).

I was wondering if anyone has some actual experience using the Leitz
Telyt 400mm 6.8 as well as the Novoflex 400mm 5.6.
They seem to use the same lens scheme, so I'd imagine that the Novoflex
is also affected by Leitz's notorious curvature of field. The Leitz is

I want to start scanning color prints using my Epson 1200/U scanner.
The software that came with the scanner is, to put it politely,
atrocious.  I've read about Silverfast and VueScan.  Silverfast makes
claims that make it sound like it's better than VueScan, but it's hard

I'm considering buying one of those two cameras either Nikon N75 (F75) or
Canon Rebel Ti.  I guess, I could consider some similar Minolta or Pentax as

I've got an old Sure Shot 80 Tele that still has film in it, partially
used.  I'd like to have the film developed but I no longer have a
battery for the camera and would prefer to not buy one, as I don't
intend to use the Sure Shot again.  As I have no instruction manual

Hi Ken,
Got your e-mail but for some reason can't reply from this computer via
that account.  I'm travelling right now, but will attend to it when I
get back.

I'm just beginning the steep climp of learning photography. I've done a
bit of practice with a low budget digital camera (concord 3045) which
was fine - but now I feel I'm ready to move onto something more
powerful.

I just received a Hoya HMC 8X ND filter.
In the box is a circular insert that says:
