I'd put the Nik F5, the Canon EOS-1n RS; -1v and Minolta Maxxum 9 up
there instead. For a raft of reasons.

I'll be damned. I followed the link and checked out the app and it is
legit- an exposure calculator runs on iPhone/iPod Touch, cheap, good
feedback. I'll try it out.

Help with Nikon F

adunc79...@mypacks.net (Michael) — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 00:11:43 UT

Yes, Nikon F Photomic FTN, same camera I stupidly sold 30 years ago. I
have now acquired a "new" one courtesy of ebay. The battery in the FTN
metering head is of course dead (or absent) but I cannot open the
battery case. I have tried every coin size there is and a large blade
screwdrive and still cannot rotate that battery cover. Anyone who knows

Sigma 150-500, Sigma 50-500 or Tamron 200-500 ?

br...@griffin-family.demon.co.uk (Brian Griffin) — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 21:01:03 UT

Hi,
I'm trying to decide between the Sigma 150-500, the Sigma 50-500 (Bigma) and
Tamron 200-500. Any ideas about which I should go for. I have a Nikon D300,
a Sigma 10-20, Nikon 18-200 and Sigma 600 Mirror/Reflex already.
Cheers,
Brian

The ABCDE are ANSI just like your ISO,
American...Standard...
International...Standard...
But people don't really use those designations much even though they do
show up on the drop-lists for printer drivers. They are frustrating if
some dimension isn't given in parenthesis.

Hi, Judy
You didn't ask for comments but may I?
You obviously enjoy taking photographs and I think you do a much better job
of doing so than the average snap shooter. However, there is room for
improvement (there always is). Generally, try to more clearly define and
isolate your subject from surrounding objects and try to avoid putting that

I haven't replaced my old Epson yet and about to replace very soon now,
and from my research some newer Epson now even have 6-7 separate ink
cartridges. I use Epson to print CD/DVD labels, and my current Epson Stylus
960 already had the ink pads (wasted ink collector) reset TWICE and going to
be the 3rd time soon, as well as the tray to hold the DVD wears out after

Well that still doesn't make sense. I'm pretty certain the in-camera
histogram is based on the jpeg, even shooting raw-only, the camera makes
a jpeg embedded in the raw file for displaying on the LCD.
