I have a Nikon FE2, and I'm looking for a high-speed lens for available
light photography.  I'd love to see a compiled list of third party
lenses for nikons, but haven't been able to find any on the web.  Is
there such a list anywhere?  Such lists exist for Nikkors.

With the tremendous amount of cross posting between rpe35 and rpd, it
seems the two groups are redundant.  I shoot both digital and 35, so
have long subscribed to both. Now, rpd certainly has a high enough OT
content, but THIS group has gotten ridiculous lately.  I guess I'll

No tripods!

I'm trying VueScan (8.2.30) with my ScanElite 5400.
The focus-point doesn't move even when scanning an area that doesn't
include the pulsating focus point.
Is this a bug in usage, scanner or software?

I got from a friend an Olympus OM-1. When I look through the
viewfinder I can see, in two places, something resembling pieces of
black fabric sticking out. It obstructs only a very small portion of
viewfinder so it does not affect composing a shot.

My flash has two manual settings, full and 1/16. What is full useful
for, telephoto photography? What is 1/16 useful for, fill flash,
portraits?

There's a clue in the photo as to which lens the photo was taken with. Pick
the lens, and win the admiration of your peers (or, most likely, the

I received an interesting email from Freestyle today;
they state outright that their Arista line of films and papers is made
by Ilford, and identical to the current Ilford line.
They appear to be selling off the last of the Arista branded stuff; it

Doug Payne: A little pussy cat made to look sinister. Great choice of
subject. However, it looks like an extreme crop. Some digital noise on
the wire.

Hope someone can steer me to the right place or may even have this item.
  I've an older 80-200 D ED Nikkor with the Kirk tripod bracket that I used
with my 90s, have added a D70 to my gear and find that I cannot use this
lens & bracket with this camera.  I recall a 3rd party ...

I've been playing with the 45/2.8 P and shot for a few hour hike
yesterday almost all at f/4 because wide open it's a bit extreme & the
bokeh not as nice, f/4 is still plenty shallow DOF to experiment. For
many of the wider landscape shots the narrow DOF just looks like a

This is strictly idle curiosity.
Seems like when I had my 990, somebody had written a utility that could control
the camera via it's USB port.
Anybody heard of something similar for the D70?

Short question related to the Olympus OM system :
Are there other manufacturers that produce OM camera bodies (that is, with
OM mount)?
Thank you,
