| Lens Mount Guide | 15 Oct 2005 19:34 GMT | 3 |
Is there a good web page showing different SLR camera lens mount types. Google hasn't helped much. I have a lens which I can not identify. Its manufactured by Saitex 28-80 zoom which doesn't help either.

| Best Prints Are From Colour NEGATIVES?? | 15 Oct 2005 14:12 GMT | 8 |
I read somewhere that the writer could distinguish beteween prints made from film and those from a digital image - the inference being that the former were best. Looking back at my prints from 35mm color negative I myself feel that the colours are richer than prints originating with ...

| They sent the posse out for me, LOL! | 15 Oct 2005 05:48 GMT | 17 |
The high school that my son goes to has a brick exterior with the name mounted in big letters offset from the wall. The way it's lit at night is very intriging, with the shadows, and such, and I've always wanted to do some night experimenting with it.

| THE LAND WHERE TIME STANDS STILL !!! | 14 Oct 2005 20:13 GMT | 16 |
I was scanning some 50-year old slides for a friend of mine this week and I decided to go out and re-take one of them. So here are two photos of the same area, taken over 50 years apart. http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/50347255

| Surprizing revelations in EOS-1Ds MKII test: Noise comparable to Nikon D2X | 13 Oct 2005 17:27 GMT | 7 |
I have not expected the noise level to be head-to-head with the Nikon D2x! http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos1dsmkii/page19.asp Hm.. all way up to ISO 1600, same image! Only the D2X black noise is visibly higher than the both Canons used in this test. I really

| What happened to eye controlled autofocus? | 13 Oct 2005 13:07 GMT | 6 |
My old Elan IIE was a great film camera, and I really liked the eye-controlled autofocus option. Look at what you want to focus on, and the camera picked the closest focus point based on reflection off your cornea. It was programmable to each shooter's cornea. With some of ...

| Ilford XP-2: dunno 'bout this film... | 12 Oct 2005 07:01 GMT | 49 |
I tried using this for the first time recently and I am not sure if I am all that thrilled with the results. I got the roll back from one of the local Frontier labs and they scratched a lot of the negs - which I only discovered last night as I was scanning them in. It took me ...

| Interesting comparison of the classic Canon 28-135 IS with the new 24-105 F/4L IS | 11 Oct 2005 18:05 GMT | 13 |
Probably one of the best things from Canon was their affordable (non L) lens 28-135mm IS, with optical properties damn close to the L class, but with a price tag significantly below any L glass. This is an interesting shootout between this old lens and the

Please tell me where you disagree with my critiques so I can learn more. Apologies for being blunt, I'm not in a humorous or generous mood this week. Don't take it personally, it's me. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/end

| What's the functional difference between Nikon PK-11 & PK-11a Extension tube | 11 Oct 2005 01:24 GMT | 2 |
I need an extension tube to use a Nikon PB-4 bellows on a Nikon N90(s) body and the "recommended" one is the PK-11a but PK-11 are more plentiful and cheaper. Since I don't care about any AE or AF issues through the bellows, what, if anything, will be the functional difference ...
