I remember hearing, years ago, that flash bulbs were filled with oxygen
to make the element burn faster.  Any truth to this?  Also, I heard they
were filled with steel wool.  Was the steel wool the actual filament, or
was the wool in addition to the filament, and the filament ...

When you look at a photographic image (film or digital), how much of

I'm looking for an inexpensive 35mm slide projector, either new or

I've got a nikon 17-35mm f2.8, and when it autofocuses, I hear a loud
