I would like to show you the picture of the week.
A romantic picture taken on a welknown bridge in Paris

We've discussed pretty cameras and ugly cameras (on r.p.e.35mm).
I thought it might be good (from both sides of the fence, so to speak)
to interact on what have been the best (most useful, practical, or
beneficial)

What's a basic film or print scanner that you'd recommend?
I don't want it to cost much, my cameras don't. I won't be shooting
much either.

this isn't strictly digital but I have got a Nikon D70 with a 28-80 AF
Lens. Can I put this on my old Nikon EM. It fits, but I dont want to
damage it.
Thanks,

Please forgive me everyone.
I am a net abuser but I can learn how to stop.

I must have a weak vision and a big, big nose.
But there you go, that's my preference right now: cameras with a big,
side-positioned viewfinder.
Which were they?

Just out of curiosity, what cameras were made that you would describe
as pretty?

Any good candidates for body with 70-200 2.8 attached?
I have a Domke f2, which I love, but it only really works if you dismount
the zoom.  Other items would be 580 flash, 1.4x ext, 17-40 or 24-105 IS.

Does anyone here had any experience with B&H regarding international
exchanges? I recently ordered a loupe and it arrived on Thursday. Upon

elements that cannot be removed. This is annoying for me and I would
