I was at fotohub earlier this week to get some provia 100f processed, and also to top up my film stock. But the nice counter lady there was saying that they only have the provia 100 (no f) now, and cost $11+ without processing. 'f' or no 'f' ... are they the same? Thanks in advance! CT

Thanks for the advice. Got a quote of S$136.00 for Gepe G-2003 (8"x6") lightbox, and $180+ for a Rodenstock loupe. TThe price really vary a lot ... with some lightboxes going for $400+ Do you have any experience with either of these? CT

I've never actually shot slide films before, but consider doing that now for (hopefully) easier organization. Need some advice on the following 1/ I want a not too expensive way to start seeing slides ... how? Must I have a projector? Or is a good quality table top slide viewer good enough...

Thanks for your advice!!! But if die die must shoot color negatives, fuji superia is that way to go?? Was finding it kinda odd that many shops don't carry kodak CNs anymore ... got all of my kodaks from cathay.

I'm planning a trip to Edinburgh in Jan 06. I foresee that the sunlight won't be that bright, and with all the dull old buildings ... the pictures might turn out to be really boring and lifeless. Do you think adding a filter would help? If so, what would you suggest? Will be shooting a 50/50...

i have shot another roll using f4 and above (using my new 50/1.7 of course). much much better result. anyway, these are 3 dealers that the minolta person recommended (inquired through the konica-minolta website). hope it'll help some of you guys planning to buy minolta accessories. Alan Photo...

bought it from john 3:16 @ funan centre. the guy there was super friendly. planning to shoot another roll with the lens at f2.8 / above to see how. seems like that's the consensus anyway (see also photo.net's review of the minolta 50mm/1.7). comparing the canon and the minolta, i think the...

$185 for the 50mm/1.7. if you think i shoud've been given a better price ... don't tell me. :)

thanks to all. i've bought a 1.7 from john 3:16, and also tested it out. well ... compared to the eos300 kit lenses, the images seems to be less sharp and color less vibrant. just wondering if this is a minolta thing or is it less superior lens quality. still i think the 50mm is much much better...

thanks for your help. initially, i went to cathay @ marina square. the salesman told me that they don't regularly stock minolta lenses anymore, and suggested i switch system altogether. will go to john3:16 to check out the lens. one more question, is the 50mm/1.4 worth the extra $?

i'm new to this forum. have been using a dynax 600si body + the bundled (cheap cheap) 28 - 80 zoom lens. now finding the image quality quite unacceptable, esp. comparing to the canon eos system that i just started using not too long ago. the problem: i've been unable to find any one who sell...
