Free Screen Savers!! (Mainly Japan Photos)

2004-09-16T13:31:44Z

Hi,
I've just created a bunch of screen savers of some of my photos, most
taken with a Canon EOS 10D. The screen savers will auto-update from my
site when changes are made (this feature can be turned off).
Currently there's a generic screen saver with a few photos from all
categories. There are also "Sunrises and Sunsets", "Flowers of Japan",

Kodak HD4

2004-09-15T01:02:28Z

I just picked up a sample roll (12 x) of Kodak's HD4 film in ASA 400.
What can I expect of this? Looks like it might be interesting..
Anybody have any experience with it??

300mm / 2.8 lens recommendation

2004-09-11T19:28:04Z

I'm thinking about getting a 300mm/f2.8 for my Maxxum 5. Also
planning to get the Digital 7 when it gets here. Obviously, I'd like
to go with a genuine Minolta, but if that's not possible for financial
reasons, who's next on the photo food-chain. Tamron, Sigma, or
Tokina? Anyone else make AF lenses? Thanks.

Minolta Maxxum 4 <-> X700 lenses

2004-09-09T19:41:17Z

I have some old lenses for my dead X700.
Noticed Costco is selling a Minolta Maxxum 4 for $200.
Would my lenses work on that camera body?
Could the camera do aperture priority or shutter speed priority with those lenses?

2004-09-04T16:15:43Z

Well I just discovered that Kodak does not make the Royal Gold anymore.
I have emailed them about their high def film but wondered if anyone
has used it or has other suggestions?
I want to try several rolls of whatever film I use before next year
so I am not experimenting on the trip.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Kodachrome processing- still available??

I talked to kodak tody. Kodachrome is no longer available in Oz !Lack

Completely discontinued. Lookout other countries!

Re: Kodachrome processing- still available??

K25 is discon (but can still be processed).
K64 and K200 are still being sold by Kodak

Processing centers have shut down and only a couple are left in
North America. eg: Toronto used to have a center, that work is
now shipped to New Jersey (I'm told).
No idea about Oz or Asia.

Re: Kodachrome processing- still available??

Kodak is still selling Kodachrome film around the world, though not
actively marketing it. You might have to look in specialty camera stores
to find it, or purchase by mail order.
If Kodak chooses to discontinue it, which they have not said they are
intending to do, so this is only hypothetical, they typically support

Sticking Tamron Adaptall stop-down mechanism

2004-08-15T21:34:07Z

I had been having problems with over-exposed images on my XG-7, and
discovered rhat the problem was due to the aperture stop-down
mechanism which hold the lens fully open until the shutter is pressed.
At smaller F-stops (16, 22, 32), the aperture sometimes sticks open at
a largers stop, over-exposing the image. The problem does not occur

Don't sell yourself short. Yes you can buy an old clunker 35 manual. But Why?
Yes I use my Nikon F on occasion. Mostly when I use my Novaflex Bellows which
won't work with my N90s. But I also need to get out the calculator,
paper, and pencil
to calculate the exposure.
The N90 has a great manual mode which I use often. It also has a auto
