Just another post to point out that I have used the SB-26 directly on a D70 in Auto mode as well. When you set the ISO and aperture up nicely, there's no difference in exposure between SB-800 and SB-26 or any other speedlight, for that matter. The main advantage of i-TTL (or TTL for old...

I have used the SB-28 and two SB-26 with a D70 for bounced and wireless flash. It works, even for photographing children moving around in a room. However, you basically have to set your preferred exposure ratios up front and not change your lens aperture as you shoot. If you do change...

Thanks, ESPN.

Hi Folks, Can the Nikon Coolpix 8400 use the AF-Assist light on the SB-800/SB-600 or SB-26/27/28 type of speedlights? I know you won't get TTL with the non SB-800/600 speedlights but haven't read about the AF-Assist capability. Thanks.

Hi Folks, Anybody got a recent quote for the Nikon Coolpix P2? Am thinking of buying my first digital point and shoot and wondering where are the best deals for Coolpixes. Thanks.

Digital thermometer (4 inch probe) with max and min memory. $25 at basement of Sim Lim Tower. I have two. One is sufficient; however, my baby hid it for a while so I got another one.

There's some relevant info here. My water temp is around 24c to 30c :bigeyes: depending on whether I use ice or not and the initial water temp. I use six to eight 1L mineral water bottles with the top sliced off (to make funnels) and pre-fill with water (and ice) at the start of the...

Aircon and a clean, dry reel does help. If no aircon at home, go find a cold fast food outlet or a cold shopping centre/building to do your loading. ;p The small bag does get hot fast. An alternative is a changing bag/box with some frame so that the material is not on your skin all the...

You mean you folks thread the film in the bag? Medium format? I use 35mm and use a film picker (list price around $10) to pick out the leader and put it on the reel. The only thing I do in the changing bag is reeling, snipping off the end, and loading into the dev tank.

At about $28 per developing tank (Ruby?), I think your friends could afford to get one. Go easy on movies or soft drinks for a month and they would have saved enough. :) Or, as sriram mentioned you could ask them to replace it.

Oh, and forgot to state the obvious - if you bring your digicam/camera on to a jet boat (or any boat, actually), make sure it's securely strapped to your body on a short leash. :)

This link should answer Tigger's question about shooting in wet weather or snow. Suggest you get snow shoes for your tripod. :) Manfrotto has them as options for some of their tripods.

Hi e905591s, Does Pliobond have a similar smell to the Dunlop Contact Adhesive? :faint: And do you use any type of debonder to help you get the leatherette or rubber grip material off the camera. Thanks again.

Hi e905591s, Can you tell me which other contact adhesive/cement you have used for leatherette that also allows you to peel the stuff off like Pliobond does? And where you get the stuff? I need to peel off some rubber pads on a camera body to get to two screws. :o Will be taking...

Hi Folks, Does anybody know if Pliobond is available in Singapore? It looks like this. Thanks.
