ain't that the truth!  (unless you're shooting digital!)

I'm back from a trip to New England and I didn't notice a single
person shooting film. (This may not be exactly true since many
point and shoots look like their digital brothers).
Another thing I noticed is that there were very few people using

So I went to a local photo store here in Austin and all these people
were clamoring around checking out all the DSLRs. I make my way in and
ask if they have the Pentax ZX-M. The guy looked happy. He said "I don't
think we have any left but let me check in back."

I would like to move my vivitar 2800 flash off my minolta x-700 body,
and was uncertain about which cable to use to connect the flash to the
off-camera shoe.  My flash didn't come with any cables, and I wasn't
sure which of the ones listed in the x-700 manual I should purchase.

What do you think? Anyone have any experience with ZX-M?
I'd rather spend $400 on a good lens, so...

I've just purchased a Nikkormat EL which seems to work more or less
fine in Auto mode (the meter responds, though I still haven't tested
its accuracy) but whose shutter behaves erratically when in manual
mode. Speeds 1/1000-1/125 seem to work (at least the shutter fires),

A few months ago I received a little automatic point-and-shoot camera

To my delight, the camera worked perfectly.  But I was unable to find a

I just bought the old Sigma 105mm macro lens on Ebay (i.e. not the new
DG version) as it was going cheap (doesn't work with EOS digital, and
I'm still a film luddite). It's generally in good condition, though has
obviously seen some use. But I suspect the focus system may be worn ...

I would like to congratulate the Democratic Party on their triumph in the
Iraqi Congressional Elections, today, the American people are all Iraqi's,
long live Iraq, long live Iraq !!!

Digital pictures sticked the world VS pictures taken by "Moskva 2" or
"Kiev 88" is the same as "Toyota corolla" VS "Saab" of 40th. As Dima
Bilan VS Vladimir Visotsky, H&M VS marrige dress from grandmother's
trunk. Soviet cameras is a Lo-Fi in the best meaning of this word.

Hey All,
I am looking at buying a Nikon FM2 and was wondering; Will any new
lenses work with this camera? I am rather confused about the AI lens
mount.

Hey Group,
I came across a lens that is typically designed to be used for motion
picture photography but I was wondering if it could be used for 35mm
still photography.

I would like to show you my last serie of pictures
called " I'm waiting for you..."

I don't know how i even set it on bulb. it was on manual and fine, now
it will go to 30 on shutter speed and no further, any higher and it
