For the Minolta AF 17-35mm f/2.8-4 (D) and I guess all the new Minolta
D-type lenses, is it 17mm after the crop factor is taken into consideration?
Is 17mm for those D lenses really 17mm?
Thanks.

After installing upgrade to ver. 1.10e(which was not a problem) the camera
will start up but when I tried to access the menu  all that happens is that
it displays system error and locks up.
Can anyone offer suggestions on how to fix this.

I've been spending a rainy Sunday morning reading (rather looking at)
_EF Lens Work III, The Eyes of EOS_.  If you have any interest in
Canon's lenses, this is a great addition to you library as well as
providing some challenging examples of just what can be done with

Hi gang
Just returned from a very nice holiday and want to be able to share our
digital pictures with friends.  Although we have a DVD player it is not a
photo CD reader and so I can't experiment to see what will work.

Just bought Canon 350XT (grey body) with kit lens for $957.63 a
WalMart (Redmond, Oregon). I was a bit surprised that WalMart carrie
this camera.
Best,

I've been looking for a black Canon 350XT for a couple of weeks, and finally
found one that had been on hold at a local camera store. Whoever had
committed to purchase it, didn't show on the appointed day (yesterday) so
when I dropped into the store today, they tried to call her, ...

www.washingtonpost.com has a nice photo gallery of the cherry blossom's
along the tidal basin.  An annual rite of spring for D.C.
(It's not clear if the phots are from last year or this... It seems a
mite early?).

Sorry about the off topic post but I would like some recommendations for a
good software for reading news-groups. Currently I use OE and its less than
satisfactory. Once again sorry to be off topic but I figured most of you
guys know a better reader than what I'm using.

Hi all, my mate is able to display his RAW files from his Canon 10D in
windows as thumbnails, not little icons like I get. He said he had to do
something to windows xp to get them to display like this, but he can't
remember where he found the information to do so? Anyone out ...

I am geting one graduated neutral filter. Should I get 1 stop or 2 stops
density? I think I'd get the light one. Thanks.

Got any opinions? Narrowed my choices down to Nikon d70 and Nikon d100.
Thanks

I finally got my starting four lenses to mate up with my 20D body.
The two L lenses (17-40 and 70-200) are impressive as to build and
feel.  From what I've just shot around the house the 17-40 with the
crop from the sensor is just where I thought it would be.  

I've been posting under Robert Bobb, which I forgot to change after
testing the account in my newsreader until someone here pointed that
out.  My real name is Mike and I've always signed my posts as Mike.
I've now changed the name in my newsreader.  Sorry for the confusion.

Love the pictures of the wife. Nice teeth too.
