I've been a keen  hobbyist for 20 years, I'm a good photographer, have done
some event work. I can always get the shots..... How the hell can I get a
break as a newspaper shooter?

As it says, wanted to buy: Canon EF 70-200 f2.8 IS.
Anyone thinking of selling?

Sorry to post an advert, just trying to raise a bit of interest in an
application I am developing.
ToneUp is the only product on the market, apart from Nikon Capture, that
allows the user to upload tonal curves into the camera's custom curve area.

Has anyone used this camera? I would be interested to read any comments
about it especially in comparison to digital slrs. It's hundreds of
dollars cheaper, with 12x zoom Leica lens and gets great reviews on
dpreview and steve's. So, what's the catch?

My first digital camera.
I have a Nikon Nikkormat FT3 from 1977. Nikkor 50mm f1:1.4 standard
lens plus a Vivitar 100-300 zoom. I used to be a keen amateur, but the

Can somebody please provide info (eg. weblinks, names etc.) to reputable
camera retail outlets in Hong Kong (I'm after a Canon EOS 20D)? Please post

Cleaning up the office (eek!), I have a spare 72mm Hoya circular polariser
looking for home.  Pricetag on the back says $104.96 from Paxtons, oh dear,
wish I hadn't seen that.
There is a tiny faint scratch on the glass but the price is right:

Hi group,
Does anyone know what the weather's like around Alice Springs/Ayers Rock
at this time of the year? In particular, would it usually be cloudy (as
it is now in Melbourne!), would it rain, and what would the temperatures be?

Does any one know where one might get the Diafine 2-bath developer?
Current lead leads to Vanbar; but unfortunately, they don't carry that
anymore :(
Thank you.

Why is it that there are so few (hardly any) Australians in this newsgroup
who have a personal homepage.
And when someone does advertize for his or her homepage then they are either
Dutch, French, Italian or some other foreign country.

Anyone used one of these before.. They are 450$AU mark atm. I'm after a HQ

2, but that price is insane.
Thanks
