| In The Mood For Some Debunking of Photo Myths? | 28 Oct 2005 15:17 GMT | 36 |
I found Ken Rockwell's site only a few months ago, and I'm blown away by his candor. Probably my favorite page on his site is the one where he dismisses all the photography magazine reviews and salesmen's pitches. So if you are in the mood for a little debunking, after having ...

I have attached Velcro tape to my flashes that came with various soft boxes and bounce cards made by Lumiquest. This Velcro has unfortunately become sticky and gummy and the glue gets all over my gear. I tried to discuss the issue with Lumiquest but they have chosen to be ...

| Looking for Canon FD lenses - is this the right place? | 26 Oct 2005 18:29 GMT | 11 |
I have tried looking on Ebay and it seems like I am going to get the lens at a good price and then there are 15 bids in the last 10 seconds and hence I always lose - so I am trying this route. I am looking for only the FD mount of Canon lenses. I have a 50mm FD 1.8, but would
