I just bought my wife a new film SLR, so this may seem a bit
self serving, but...
We are photographic dinosaurs. Of the three cameras I use
most frequently the panorama has no meter, my 35 is a rangefinder

I just picked up a Hoya 49mm circular polarizer. The question I pose to you

I have an Ikelite substrobe 100a and a Nikonos V. On my last dive the
battery pack for the substrobe *#%! out on me.  I'm heading to Truk
lagoon in August and the battery pack is no longer available. Can
