Now that I've mortgaged the house to go to Antarctica, I'm looking to
get the best photos. I'm going to drag my Nikon 35mm and various

Rockwell's columns (probably not the first).

I recently bought a Fuji GSW690ii on Ebay, but with no manual. I've run a
film through the camera, and it works fine, (although I've discovered I need
a spirit level), but I have a few questions about its operation:
On my first film, I lost all but 1cm of my first exposure (which ...

A lady I know that wants some portraits made asked me if I had a
-20/-20 lens; one that removes 20 years & 20 pounds.  Are they
available for the RB ??   :-)
I do have a +20/+20, so maybe a reverse adaptor would work.

And with a Hassie 500 CM (I know it's a 6x6, and I know Hasselblad

When shooting brown or darker-skinned female models, what type and color of
background will provide the most versatility? Right now, I only have two
backgrounds...bright white and a blackout background. I'm looking to

Does anybody know if the 500C/M takes a digital back, and if so, what are
my options? Thanks.

Please advise as to the 'best' digital camera under $1000.00.

Hi everyone, thanks for reading...
I've just bought (from ebay, of course!) a near mint-condition E-28
extension tube for my Bronica ETRS.  Unfortunately it arrived without
instructions.  Undaunted, I've tried to fit the tube between the

digital capture/output has fully arrived, at least in the 35mm format.
