Alright all you Monday Morning Hawk-Snappers...  :)
I appreciate those of you who took the time to actually think about this,
and allow for the possibility that the guy on the scene might have some
insight that is otherwise unavailable when simply viewing after-the-fact

I've experienced some strange behaviour from my Canon EOS-350D a few
times, and it happened again yesterday. At first it won't shoot when I
press the shutter button. I tried to change the program mode, turn the
camera on/off. Even remove and re-insert the memory card. I finally got

18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor:
Type of lens: G-Type AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor lens with built-in CPU and
Nikon bayonet mount (Designed exclusively for use with Nikon DX format
digital SLR cameras)

I bought the cleaning kit with swabs etc for the D70 & got rid of most of
the dust. But in the sky top right of the photos are 5 spots , does that

Does anybody knows a source for those 3 pin remote shutter connectors (for
minolta and sony alpha)? I'm thinking about making a "shutter computer"
device for my minolta and sony, but I can't find the connector. Do you have
any hint on where I could find a source?

I've just returned from a four-day trip to the Rockies (Jasper to Banff
and back). I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, and of course my
camera came along. Most of the pictures I got are your typical
postcard/calendar photos of "a mountain, a lake, and some trees".

The F-min switch on my Nikon D70 has snapped off. (see

Has anybody had problem with the aperture on their e500? Mine is 3
months old and I'm on the second body. Both seem to have developed an
