I have created this weblink
but I am using a samsung 4 mega pixel camera. I am not happy with the

I hav two Canon A1's that haven't been used for 3 - 4 years. I want to test
them out to see if they are ok. The trouble is I don't know what to do? I
figure I could just run some film through them and pop down to CVS to check
out the results but there must be more I can do to check ...

I am just learning to take pictures and decided to buy the second lens
(the first being Canon 50/1.4). I want it to be wide-angle, suitable for
street photography and landscapes (right now I am taking pictures with
Canon EOS 50, but I don't want to invest in a lens that would be

I've just bought a small item - a 'no name' self-timer to use with my older
gear (and Bronica ETR-Si).  See: http://tinyurl.com/on25a.  I'm struggling
to use it as I expected.
I thought it would just screw into place, you'd wind the timer mechanism and

I have a Canon EOS3 body that has quite a few years on it and has never been
serviced.  It works fine but I was thinking that it may need a
clean-lube-adjust.
I have also heard that some recommend doing nothing until a camera truly

Of course we have all heard the claims of how Canon dominates the sports
market and how anyone not using those cameras at sports events is
wasting their time and money.
Well, at this past weekend's A1GP I must report that the only people

I'd appreciate any information or pointers about an early Leitz accessory
rangefinder.
It is very similar to a FODIS model, except from the pictures I have seen of
the FODIS it has a different mounting method: on my one there is a wide bar

I bought a broken X-700 camera that doesn't release (but metering works).  I'm hoping its just bad capacitors that I can try replacing, and
is why I bought this camera.
Anybody know exactly what I need?  I see them on Micro-tools.com, but my
university has a great electronics part ...

What's you favorite small camera kit (not P&S) to carry. Something
that would fit maybe in a photo vest and not weigh you down?
My favorite is a Leica IIIf with 35, 50, and 90mm lens with universal
finder. I also use a Manfrotto monopod with medium ballhead with quick

Well sports fans, following the requests from many of my fans, I have
created a new portfolio of some of my favs on the NAPP (National
Association of Photoshop Professionals) website.
The NAPP site limits member portfolios to 24 images at a max size of

I am looking to purchase a TTL flashgun for Nikon F65.  Has anybody had
experiences of TTL Flashes for Nikon which are not Nikon dedicated.
Thanks,

What three things have you done to improve your photography in the last
year?

I am taking photos with a Nikon coolpix 4100 and importing them into
photoshop, my options are now endless (if you know what you are doing)
and with the correct colour management setup I print using an Epson
R220 (six ink catridges) and high quality photo paper.

A photographer friend of mine processes everything in Photoshop in 16 bit
RAW.  When he wants to have a print made he changes the image to an 8 bit
tif.  He says that the reason for dropping to 8 bit is that most photo labs
have 8 bit printers.

I have a Sekonic Digipro L-518 X-1 exposure meter that I bought used about a
year ago.  Great little meter, but seems to be a real battery eater even
though I don't use it that much (runs on a single AA, so battery cost is not
a problem in any case).  Just curious - is this model ...
