I received one of these as a gift from the seller of my Leica M6 last
night. Unfortunately there was a battery inside that has probably not
seen the light of day since the item was purchased back in 1959! I
managed to get the battery cover off and there is some corrosion, but

I have for some time played a little with 24x36 Gigabitfilm.
Have uploaded an image and a couple of crops. This time no DSLR
comparations.........
Wanted to upload the full size image in medium jpeg.....but this was not

Looking to get a very good color printer.  I see that the R2400 is their
newest model, but it seems that it's biggest advantage is for B&W.  Would it
make more sense to get the R1800 or R800 (if I don't mind 8x10 max size)?
Thanks.

Does anyone have any recommendations for an accurate pan/tilt unit
that i can control using my laptop? I saw

Is there something better than this available? Any other comapnies that

...my Leica M6.
This decision has actually been keeping me up at night! The announcement
of the D200 hasn't exactly made the choice any easier, but the way I
looked at it was that in 6 months time I will still be able to get the

Are there any properly rigid LKM magazines on the market? All those I have
tried so far, including reputable branded ones, are far too flexible when
loaded with 80 slides and give trouble with slides jamming.

Just for fun, I thought I'd post what I would consider the perfect camera.
Obviously since no one camera is perfect for everyone, others will have
different ideas.
Body - small and light, but solidly constructed. About the size of Pentax

About 8 years ago I abandoned the Minolta XK SLR system that I'd been
amassing since 1975 and bought my first AF/AE camera, a used Nikon N90.
It's given me good service since then and I've finally added an N90s and a
D70 along with 7 lenses to the system.  But on a recent trip to ...

How do I change the camera screw on my Manfrotto 68-monopod from 3/8 to 1/4?
I lost my manual & the website is useless.
Thanks folks

Made my decision! After being a Nikon user for too many years, I've
looked at the D2X and D200 and find both inadaquate. Nikon is living on
past laureates. Not only are they not offering the best technology,
they are doing worse. They continue to market products down our throats

I have a nikon D70 and sb800 flash.  A friend told me that at a wedding
when there's no suitable ceiling to bounce off (the ceiling is much too
high) that he puts on his diffuser dome and points the flash at 60
degrees (90 being straight up at ceiling).  I always thought, that if

I have a question regarding a specific nikon mount. I have an Exacta 35-70
3.5/4.8 manual for Nikon AI. Would this lens fit the D70 dslr ? I googled it
but managed to get more confused as I don't have a nikon and many threads
assume you've seen one...

I have a Leica IIIc that needs service, the slow speeds no longer
work.  Can anyone recommend a technician in the United States?

Need help with a lens problem i.e. the front element fell off.
Does anybody have one of these that could describe the front of the
lens?
On mine I suspect that there should be a ring that stops the glass
