thanks to all who replied! @blacvios: i am looking for a Minolta MD adapter; checked out cameraquest.com for the brands you mentioned, don't think they do MD->m4/3. Last question, anyone bought adapters from chiif camera? it has a physical shop, so that might be more convenient to get...

thanks for your reply, spidey89. by different types, i am comparing the ones i see in ebay, which seems much bigger than the one in the website you listed. the ebay adapter is much cheaper though. anyone have experience with either types - what are the advantage or difference between...

Hi all, i am looking to get an adapter for Minolta MD to m4/3 on a e-p2. any recommendations on where to get one? also, are there different types or different quality for such adapters?

hi microcosm, thanks for the e-p2 review! I have a question; i understand that be-p2 lack the focus assist lamp - is this a big problem when taking night scenery shots, or even street shots at night?

might be going to hk as well... does panasonic provide international warranty for the GF1 if buying in HK?

i had been searching around for a way to put a polarizer on the LX-1, and came across this: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1033&message=19540547 seems doable, although it may not work if you are looking to put a heavy add-on on it. i remember reading somewhere that...

Hi all, trying to find the mb-20 battery pack for nikon f4. any one knows where might be selling one, brand new or 2nd hand? and the rough price? cheers

while i like the sounds and working of a manual film body, i do confess the thought of having nigh unlimited shots (relatively) and ISO-on-the-fly tempts me to find out more about this digital option. the rokkor 24mm is one of my favourite lense, and i like landscapes, so the cropping is...

good point, and i agree with you. but it is still tempting though... alternatively, can be as what he mentioned - use the oly lenses for wide-angle shots, and rokkor for others :) or... bring along another film body :D seems like the upcoming DMC-L1 from Panasonic might be another body...

antony hands has posted the real digital alternative for minolta manual focus though :) http://www.rokkorfiles.com/olympus.htm

Hi Juggler, just to say, i feel your pain :( I recharged my G2 just a night before going to penang. First thing when i on the camera upon getting off the train, the low batt signal started flashing. and before i can even take the shot, the whole camera just died - it didnt even retract the...

what overcrash said should be right, the info in the finder is better for the x570, being able to see the shutter speed is great. iirc, x570 loses the P mode, compared to X700.

this site might help, if you havent seen it: http://kazutoku.maxs.jp/G1andG2/report1_eng3.htm http://kazutoku.maxs.jp/G1andG2/telewide_eng.htm

if you are in singapore, you can try cathay photo at peninsular. or go to crumper's retail shops, there is one at wheelock place and another at paragon. unless the design is real old, else you can find it there. www.crumplersg.com

alternatively, you can send it for repair; there are several shops that do this in the peninsular area. you can do a search in the forums, there are a few threads that list out shops that can do repair/servicing. I used CAM.X at peninsular hotel before, sent in my konica auto S2 for repair...
