Your photography equipment needs are minimal. You'll need a basic SLR
camera - film or digital. For additional control and future options,
the flash should be removeable. You'll also need lenses to cover the
standard range of portrait shooting distances, a couple zoom lenses

Anyone have any experience with the Acratech Ultimate? Looking for a high
quality, lightweight ballhead.
Bought a new Giottos tripod and head at the NANPA conference. Not wild about
the head. Works fine, just all the controls are backwards for me......

Literally, this means "bright darkness" and refers to a subject
that stands out distinctly, in brightness and contrast, from its
surroundings or background. Sometimes this simply means a flash/strobe

My mother has this camera, and she loves it, however, it is broken.
I'm looking for any help with what may be wrong with it.  When you take off
the lens (which as of tonight doesn't lock on) just behind the lens mount is
a black ring.  This has moved from where it should be and is ...
