"Not Quite Obsolete"
A photograph of anything that is no longer widely used, but can still be
found in use occasionally. Does not necessarily need to be an old object,
newer objects that have already become outdated are also allowed.

I was reflecting on the rise of digital recently, and remembering the
huge film versus digital wars which have raged for a good 7 years or
so.  One of my arguments for sticking to film is that I remember years
ago people were saying that 1MP digital cameras were better than film,

For sale all camera equipment together.  Not sold separately.  This is a
complete package for any new budding photographer.  Everything is in mint
condition.  Used a couple of times but very well taken care of.  Lenses are
in mint condition and no scratches, dust, fungus.  Also ...

Anyone know why Nikon's FH-869G MF neg/slide holder with glass has been
back-ordered for at least two months?  I have the LS-9000ED and have my
name on the list at B&H, but everyplace I've looked is out of stock.
I'm wondering if this is by chance a side-effect of their recent

Sorry for the Bretesque subject line, but I thought the following was

AAA Duracel batteries now made in PRC - China
and for the first time ever I've had a AAA battery LEAK real BAD.
Luckly the acid was able to be cleaned up.
Always purchased Duracells since engergisers leaked and ate contacts

Any major differences between the Canon 16-35 f2.8L USM and the 17-40
f4L USM?  Optically, I mean.  The extra stop of the 16-35 is nice,
though the wider range of the 17-40 is desirable, also.  Both are
relatively new and both are "L"'s.

I use a Sunpak 444D flash on my Oly OM2n. While the flash works
nice, I find it too bulky/heavy for hand-holding. Any suggestions
for a smaller flash? I'd like to have bounce capability, but I guess
swivel and partial flash power capabilities would be asking for too

set for my macro lenses. The gear to be used for close-up work is:

I'm looking for the optimal lens to capture moderate close-ups of
persons at indoor functions with available light. I don't mind anyone
knowing I'm taking their pictures, but I want to remain outside the
realm of action and as unobtrusive as possible. My intent is to take a

A wonderful shot.  White it displays one of the two main shortcomings of
a cat lens, Chrlz has taken full advantage and turned that defect into a
