introduced?
Thanks

Went up to Clingman's Dome in the Smokey Mountains today.  That's the
highest point in Tennessee, btw.  On the steep trek up there, I saw
these guys playing in some wildflowers:

I've decided to try and make some time for comments, apart from anything
else it forces me to consider what it is that I like about different
images, which can only be good for my photography, probably a lot more

Now it seems all labs give you photos on cd for 0.99c extra
whether you like it or not.

I ran across this NASA site.  They say that a roll of unprocessed film was
recovered from the Columbia wreckage and the images were intact.

Now how the heck does this survive when everything else burned?!

the guy I buy film from, suggested me to overexpose Velvia, by changing

Thanks a lot!!!

Can someone give me an answer to what resolution 35mm slides should be
scanned at.  Mostly for 4x6 prints.  I have about 2000 slides to scan.
I have tried 300 ppi at 4x6 target size which gives 1200x1800 size
pictures.  This to me seems okay, but I read some sites and higher

Since Kodak/Qualex stopped mounting my stereo slides, I mount my own, no
problem there. But I use to keep them, conveniently, in the boxes that
Kodak supplied. I've used the boxes since my entrance into the 3D arena,
1957. I'm suffering from withdrawal, and would like to buy (For ...

I just received a mint version of this lens. I haven't mounted it on a
camera yet (I'm in my office) but I noticed an odd thing. When the focus
ring is turned all the way so the infinity symbol is lined up with a white
mark, the zoom range is limited from 50mm to 70mm (if it was on ...

I'll soon be the owner of a Canon EOS 3, my first move into the world of
auto-focus after using trusty Pentax gear for 9+ years.  
My carry-all setup is a Pentax Super Program with Motor Drive A, and the
Pentax "pancake" (40/2.8) lens.  I'd like to know if there is an

-Advance lever locked, although I still can turn the meter on and off.

I found a slightly tattered copy of this book for sale in a local
bookstore on Saturday. I got it for about 25% of the original price!
Anyway, it's a fantastic resource book for anyone wanting information on
the Nikon system, and MY! what a system it is!!! I had no idea on half of
