Consider Nikon SB30 for a film rangefinder. I've seen discussions of its merits on rangefinder forum dot com. Cheers, JT

I'm all ears for any suggestions on where the best priced film stuff is... My problem (?) is I don't shoot enough film to make bulk purchasing a good tactic and my wife objects to having it in the freezer anyway. Yet, after my last holiday, I had two slide film rolls developed, mounted and...

I would be interested in a print session, although immediate timing may be difficult for me as I have relatives visiting from next week. On a related note, might we start a discussion here or perhaps a seperate thread about what to look for when buying an analog darkroom setup? I can't buy...

Pai, thanks for posting this info. I heard of the Safra club while taking the course at the SLCC. I wanted to follow up to gain access to a darkroom. Your posting will make that easier!

Guys, You might want to consider contacting Stanley Lim at the Stanley Lim Color Center. I took his B&W developing course and I can recommend it. The tuition was S$250, but it includes all the gear you need (which you keep), so the actual tuition is reasonable plus you don't have to run...

Parchio, I use a variety of shutter speeds when using external flash with the GX100. I believe the design of digicams does not entail the same sync limitations as our (D)SLRs. When using flash, I normally use the flash off camera, with both it and the camera in Manual mode using the techniques...

Weekh, I think we'll all be eager to see what you do with the GX100, after all your awesome pics with the LX-1. Will the GX-100 rock harder? Inquiring minds want to know. As for cases, check out Carrefour. They have some cheap, no-brand cases ("i-case") that might work for you. I have a...

Ronang, I see you confirm that a 43 to 46 step up and 46 filter allows you to use the original lens cap. But that means you can't use the hood, right? Ideally, I want to leave the adaptor and hood on as my default setup, but I suppose that means I would need a 43 lens cap or a 43 filter so...

I just hit the promo offer by MS Color AMK Hub. Unfortunately, I have to wait until Friday to pick up the external finder and wide-conversion / hood set. I hope there's no delay in that. I sold off one digicam and one film cam to fund this purchase. It's unlike me to be an early adopter...

CP quoted me $870, but without the "gift" or the wide-angle coverter, hood, etc. Also, they never confirmed whether they would carry them or not. $999 is a lot for a compact cam! Maybe better off getting a Nikon D40 with a small zoom. Anyhow, I can't make it to the shops this weekend...

I hope this suggested "weekend" arrival is fact and not wishful thinking! I won't be in town though, so c'mon guys, leave one for me to look at if not buy!!!

I forgot to add, if any of you guys are looking to offload any FD lenses, pls have a look at my WTB ad. Cheers. JT

Anyone have any idea when this will be available here? I have queried at CP, AP, J3:16 and no one seems to know....

Yes, I am still using the original FTb that I inherited from my mother. It's my primary FD user in fact. I will always keep that one, even though I have two additional FTb's that are in even better condition, but would be the first to go if I sell any. Photo.net has heaps of info about...

I like the FD system because the first SLR camera I ever held or used was a Canon FTb purchased new by my mother back in the day. So, my view of what a camera should look like, feel like or work like was largely formed by that experience. Rationally, I know that today's camera are probably...
