| Is it worth repairing a lens? | 15 Sep 2005 19:49 GMT | 14 |
I am asking for opinions on this problem. I have a Pentax ZX-7 with a Pentax FA 1:4 28-70mm AL lens. This is an autofocus, fully automatic lens purchased 5 years ago. Over the last year, the lens has been clouding up. Something inside the lens is either growing

| Leica M6 or M6TTL | 15 Sep 2005 16:37 GMT | 14 |
I'm torn between these two! I can get either for what I think is a very fair price, but I don't know which of them would be the better choice. The M6 I am considering is in EX++ condition and the owner wants around $1100 for it. The M6 TTL looks to be in as good a condition but ...

| Gray Market Mamiya Gear | 14 Sep 2005 21:35 GMT | 16 |
I recall reading something that described how assertive the US importer of Mamiya gear was in protecting its territory. The article said that Mamiya cameras and lenses were priced much higher in the US than in any other country, and that the official importer was asserting ...

| Old Undeveloped Film | 14 Sep 2005 02:02 GMT | 13 |
I found an old roll of film in my attic. I want to know what is on it, but I don't know if I can develop it or not. Everyone I go to won't touch it. I just want to try. It is Kodacolor II. It has a zebra stripe pattern at both ends of the canister, but the colors are the Kodak ...

| current state of KEH? | 13 Sep 2005 21:27 GMT | 25 |
Am looking to buy a couple used MF lenses. I've never bought from KEH before, but have heard so many good things about them. Their prices seem to be pretty reasonable right now, at least for what I'm looking for. I googled a bit, and found great praise, but most of it is from ...

| Correcting Colour in Photoshop | 13 Sep 2005 11:24 GMT | 27 |
Does anyone have a sure-fire algorithm for getting images to look how you want them to? I've scanned some Agfa Optima 100 film, and raw output is so wrong I'm at my wits end trying to adjust a bit of blue here, a bit of green there, and oh!

| Pricing photos for magazines | 13 Sep 2005 00:05 GMT | 17 |
Usually magazines have a set payment schedule for use of images. A relatively new publication (a phone book) wanted to use some of mine and I charged $50 each for spot use (up to 1/4 page). I since found out that they charge $1,100 for an ad the same size. Should I consider their ...

| Konica Minolta DSLR lens Question | 12 Sep 2005 18:06 GMT | 7 |
I notice that the new 5D kit comes with an 18-70mm lens and the 7D kit comes with a 28-100mm lens. As the 1.5x factor makes my 24-85mm zoom and 24mm and 28mm primes into 'longer' lenses, I am in need of a wide angle solution when I buy either a 5D or 7D. I put my Maxxum stuff away ...

| HP or Epson for large prints? | 12 Sep 2005 13:41 GMT | 8 |
Looking at getting my first higher-end photo printer. I see that Epson has a new model, the 2400, that seems to be the standard for artists looking to display/sell prints. Someone recently said I should look at the HP line also. Any experiences?

| Scanning away... | 12 Sep 2005 07:45 GMT | 4 |
After some very nervous moments installing the Konica Minolta DiMAGE Scan Dual IV on Friday evening, I can happily report that everything went smoothly during the installation. Apparently some people have a problem installing this scanner in WinXP.

| 52mm wide-angle for reversing? | 11 Sep 2005 21:14 GMT | 18 |
I have an A95 and want to experiment with reversed lenses for macro. I bought the adaptor to the 52mm thread and now I need a 52mm lens to start shooting. Tried my canon ef 50/1.8 and it's fine but I want more magnification. I understand I need to go wider.
