Hello there, I have an old Pentax 67 in my hands, with a SMC Pentax 67 165mm f/2.8 lens on it. The lens has a AUTO / MANUAL switcher. Since it's a fully manual camera I guess I need to keep it in "manual", nevertheless I read somewhere that it needs to be in Automatic for the meter to work? I'm confused. Extra info: - The meter needle moves in both settings - The viewfinder becomes darker/lighter while changing the aperture only in the manual mode.

Hello everybody and many thanks. Indeed, I meant converting a photo made with a digital camera into film to be printed. Very illuminating answers from [uSER=4774668]@alan_marcus|2[/uSER] and @ben_hutcherson, many thanks for that.

Does somebody do this? I would appreciate sharing your experiences and techniques. Thanks!

Hello, dear all. I live in Peru, where art shops have a short range of materials available. So, believe it or not, it's not easy to find foamcore boards that are big enough to mount a 150 x 100 cm photo. (actually found one but it's absurdely expensive) What alternatives to foamcore could you suggest that keeps the picture firm and smooth? Hope I'm being clear enough. Many thanks in advance! pd: didn't know which forum to place this question in, so admins feel free to move it.

<p>Thank you very much for your comments, it really helps me to get through my thoughts about it. I think it's just very relative, for my kind of photos it doesn't seem ok when I put any letters on the front; it really ruins the image. Nevertheless, it's good to learn that people really expect a signature to be somewhere in the picture (recto or verso).<br> About the limited editions, I am still deliberating if and how to do it. I'm thinking about the option of just adding in the back: "Limited edition of 50" or something like that. Because it does sound to me weird to say 1/50 if i haven't yet printed the other 49. However, I do understand the commercial value added by that.<br> My answer here doesn't intend to give a closure to the thread, so please feel free to comment further.<br> Many thanks again.</p>

<p>Hello,<br> I have been told by many people I <em>should</em> sign and numerate the limited edition for my individual prints, but i find it VERY bad taste. Does someone share this feeling?<br> What could I do as an alternative? Maybe signing on the back of the frame?<br> I'd appreciate your comments, thank you.<br> Ana Lucia<br> pd: afterwards comes the question about the need or no need to limit editions :D</p>

<p>MANY thanks to all!</p>

<p>Dear all,<br> many thanks for your replies. I won't go for that lens, and I'll just wait a bit for another opportunity.<br> Indeed I have a D700 and not a D300! :/ I'm always mistaking the name because my partner has a D3... Anyway, don't underestimate peruvian technicians, i'm sure they can adapt EVERYTHING. :D<br> Thanks! Cheers :)</p>

<p>Hello everybody,<br> I live in south america, where prices go high on taxes when buying photo equipment.... I need a macro lens and also a portrait lens so I became interested in the Tamron 90mm 2.8f.<br> I have found a VERY good deal on a Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro Autofocus Lens, but it's for CANON. And I own a Nikon <strike>D300</strike>D700. I can find a cheap lens adapter here, but I'd like to hear your opinion in the quality of the lens, being used with an adaptor.<br> Also, I'd like to know if the Canon Tamron will cover a full frame (FX) body like my D<strike>D300</strike>D700's and if i will be able to use the auto focus function.<br> Many many thanks on advance,<br> Ana Lucia</p>

<p>Dear all,<br> thank you very much for all the responses. I will take some time going through your recommendations.<br> Sorry not to have mentioned at the beginning that it is a dissertation on Photography, but as it is a topic 'thinking' about photography I found a better place under Philosophy, than any other. Everything is helpful. Thanks again.<br> Ana</p>

<p>Hello!<br> I am working on my dissertation and need some authors that point that discussion: if photographs can be true or are an illusion.<br> I would very much appreciate your help in naming serious authors, books, articles....</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
