Got the B&H Photo catalog of SLRs a while ago.  Was looking at the Leica
digital back for the R8 and R9.  Anyone know something of it?
BTW looked back 1000 messages and no mention of it.  Sorry if I'm
reopening a subject well discussed previously....

I'm Looking for mid range zoom for my new D70s, but It have to
cooperate with my good old F90x. Something about 500$.
I reali consider a Tokina ATX 28-80 2.8 AF PRO, & at this time it's my
only type.

I'm using a Canon Rebel and am new to digital cameras.  
I have a perfectly fine Sunpak Auto 511 flashgun which I used successfully
with both my Olympus SLR and a number of lenses on my 4x5. Can this
flashgun be used with my Canon or must I get a gun specifically for this

I need something that cost up to 400 $ and which is better then kit lens.
Thanks

Sigma SD10 beats out Nikon D70 for image quality,
with comments that it produces the sharpest images
the reviewer has ever seen and outstanding colour.
Kodak's DSLR scores perfect across the board in their tests,

I've got a Canon 300D and want to add a flash to my kit.  I'm
iinterested in two different applcations and one flash may not do
everything. I've tried fo figure out the Canon, Metz, Vivatar and
Sigma catalogs on the Internet and find I can't narrow down my

Sometime amount the era I began to use 35mm cameras, I developed a
framing habit so as not to lose any precious resolution when the images
were enlarged. I unconsciously do it now and almost never crop an image
unless it's to accommodate "perfect portrait" size - the 2/3rds thing ...

I've finally found something bad with my 7D :)
I have set the picture storage mode to large jpegs, one file folder per day.
Last week end I was shooting a couple of pictures, when the memory card got
full (a 256 MB compactflash).

1DMKII and 20D cameras were used with 17-40 L and 70-300 DO IS lenses.
Photo's have not been worked in any photo program They have only
undergone sizing [ :( ] for Show & Tell web posting.
Look at the size of those lenses and notice the pods they use.

Now Kodak has jumped on the bandwagon.  First Samsung, then
Panasonic, then Fuji and now Kodak.
Megapixels, long zooms, lots of manual control.
I wonder how this segment is going to sell?

For those who've had 20D grip problems, Canon appear to have finally
acknowledged responsibility:

Cheers,

Read this about their new camera.  They've figured out a way to slow
down things like motor racing so you can record the action at a slower
shutter speed.  :)

Excerpts from a review of the EOS20D from a leading UK magazine:
"Unfortunately, exposures are not quite as accurate or reliable as we
might expect from an EOS camera. The 20D is prone to slight
underexposure, particularly with wideangle lenses."

I noticed Sigma has a cheap zoom with the same characteristics,
it's inexpensive, it's plastic and has the same focal range.
Has anyone compared it against the Canon?  This could be one
case where an aftermarket lens of equal value is superior.

Does Pentax sell more DSLRs than Olympus?  If not,
why no aftermarket lenses for Olympus?  Is it solely
because of the 4/3rds system requirements?
