Am considering upgrading from Photoshop Elements 2 to full-blown
Photoshop CS2.  It's alot of money, so of course I'm searching for a
decent price.  I once bought a legal and unopened copy of Adobe
Audition for a very readonable price on eBay so I looked there.

I recently acquired an older, used Nikon AF Nikkor 70-210mm f/4-5.6 zoom
lens (non-D) that has a significant amount of grit behind the front
glass, enough to soften the images versus a clean sample I compared it to.
I have read many posts here about cleaning lenses that could be

After years of yearning for a darkroom and wrestling with my old daylab
(back in the days of agfachrome speed paper) I finally have a house big
enough to have the darkroom I always wanted. Alas though, it seems that
for my needs at least, this may be an exersize in futility with ...

I'm looking for a manual for the Olympus Pen D half frame camera, any links?

I have scanned a number of my 35 plus year old 35mm colour negatives
and slides and have been very impressed with the quality of prints
obtained,after uploading the images to a digital printing lab.
The camera used at that time was a Nikkormat FT SLR with a 50mm f2

I recently brought out my macro stand from storage and am planning on
doing some macro work with it. However the photo bulbs are somewhat
difficult to find and I was wondering how well the screw-in 20w 2700k
soft white fluorescent bulbs would work.

I was recently fortunate enough to acquire a freshly-serviced Leica M4
in decent user condition.  I loaded a practice roll of film and, on the
face of things, it seems easy enough to do.  However, I noticed that
the rewind crank does not move when the film is advanced; I'm fairly

Why is Bret Douglas allowed to get away with so many self portraits?
Are these your relatives Al?
Is the Dave trying to impress us with his cultural awareness?
Why did Bob Flint park his truck there?

i have a few cameras they are all automatic everything so i'm lazy
i found an ansco memar pronto camera in my moms things and wanted to
try it out but the film i have for my other cameras doesnt fit

Can anybody post their experience with Qualex/Kodak E-6 development for
Fuji film; in particular Sensia, Provia and Astia?  I have several
mailers for Fuji and A&I, but I have recently found that my local Costco
sends out to Qualex for a decent price with 4-5 day turn around.

I own 4 beautiful Super Takumar lenses one being a Super-Multi-Coated
lens (28/3.5)  I have a Spotmatic and ME Super with m42 adapter but
HATE the stopped down metering.  There HAS to be a camera out there
that will let me use my lenses with open aperture metering other than a

WTF?

...but the teenage son's Homecoming Dance is this weekend, and I'm
going to corner him for some pics, and I want to get some nice ones.
People, btw, is a weak area for me, technique-wise, so I'm in need of a
little advice.

Lens (bought used on eBay and working when I got it a few months ago) failed
recently.  Neither my D70 or either of my N90's would acknowledge that the
lens was a CPU-lens.  Took it to Strauss PhotoTech [fortunately a local
place for me] and was told that (a) the "rear lens mount ...

Someone sent me this link to some nice photos of the space station and the
