How do you decide when you need to put a hood on a lens? I've read that
a hood is supposed to prevent flare, but what are likely conditions for
flare to appear? What does it depend on - the focal length, the angle

time so I have less time to attend to the rulz page.   Or more

the mandate page in a timely fashion.

Can anyone explain me what a "record exposure" is??
It's very important!!
Thanks very much in advance.

like to find again. The photo as I remember was of either Max Berek or

Does anyone have experience using this kind of film?  I've been
thinking about photographing manmade subjects like cars or buildings.
I was a bit surprised at the cost, about $16/roll and about $30/roll
for color slides.  Putting that aside, can anyone give me

Is there no way to ban these eejits and their racist posting? They are
flooding this group with crap and will end up destroying it. Who's the
mod? Can he not delete their accounts?

I recently picked up a Fujica STX-1N and was wondering what kind of
flash should I get for it. This is my first SLR so I haven't any
experience with hotshoe flash. Also how much would I expect to pay for
a flash?
