Various Lenses Page

2004-04-08T21:03:49Z

SLR lenses in its data base along with example pictures taken with that
lens.
I have lost the URL for this web site. Anyone have this site?

Cleaning fungus from 35mm slides

2004-02-06T19:30:43Z

Has anyone else seen a fungus on their slides?
I have 6-7 rolls of slide film (Kodak, Kodachrome 64) that I shot back
in 1984. They slides were stored in the carousel's I use with the
projector. (My bad.) Recently I dug up the slides and decided to scan

Right-Angle Adapter

2004-01-26T18:09:51Z

Does anyone know where I can get a 52mm right-angle adapter? The type that

watching eBay and searching the web but no luck. Is there another name for
it?

to set shutter speed myself results in orange-tinted pictures. I haven't

Date stamping on prints of digital photos

When we used a film camera, the resulting prints had the dates on which we
took the photos stamped in one of the lower corners. We (my wife and I)
really liked this feature because it made arranging photos chronologically
in photo albums very easy. I bought her a digital camera for her birthday

1917 Kodak No. 2 Folding Cartridge Premo Aperture Question

shutter speeds of 1/25, 1/50, B and T. The aperture settings are 1, 2, 3

I just picked up a used Sunpak 622 with zoom and bare bulb heads. When I

that this means "auxiliary guide number," but I don't understand what, if
anything I'm supposed to do about it.
Can anyone explain?

Nikon F3 Light Meter Malfunction

My Nikon F3 light meter has just begun to malfunction. The display only
reads -' 8- if on auto. On manual, it will display shutter speed, and fire
at the proper speed, but not give +/- info.
My battery is good. Has my meter just died, or is there some cleaning or
maintenance that I can do to revive it?
