<p>All I can suggest is to make some prints and compare to your good paper. Without any knowledge of how the paper has been stored it would be hard to predict anything.</p>

<p>Well my galaxy s6 (w/ android mashmallow) has a pro mode which allows considerable latitude with manual adjustments. No, it won't do everything my D3 will but it does a lot.<br> My main point is that if you have the camera with you, you'll have more chances at great shots as opposed to planning a specific time and taking your 'gear'.</p>

<p>I'd like to offer an alternative. Today's smartphones can produce images to rival a very good DSLR. An important part of photography is having the camera with you when you see a great image. That's much more likely for her than dragging a bag of camera body, lenses and accessories around. So I suggest giving her the money to upgrade her phone to an iphone or galaxy s6/s7</p>

<p>First of all, debris in the viewing path will not affect the image quality unless there is so much that the light meter is affected.<br> There are four surfaces which are likely to get dirty. The mirror, bottom and top of focusing screen and exposed surface of prism. In most cases the best choice is a air bulb. Sometimes compressed air or chemical cleaners can be used but not without some peril. As mentioned, attempting to disassemble the finder is best left to a repair tech.<br> Start by removing the finder. Hold the finder up to a bright light source and look thru the eyepiece. Then remove the focusing screen and examine both surfaces. Finally, hold the camera up to a bright light and look thru the finder opening of the body. Move the body until the mirror is fully illuminated. Debris will be evident if present.</p>

<p>I agree with Scott Murphy. Having owned both the PB-4 and PB-6, the latter is better. For example, the PB-6 has a reversible front standard while the PB-4 relies on adapters to mount a lens in reverse. If you know how to obtain and use industrial strength epoxy you might try a repair. Since it is a moving part under some stress a 3D printer part would have to be made with strong material.</p> <p>Other than that you might want to contact a number of repair shops to see if anyone has a PB-6 being parted out.</p>

<p>The original IBM PC used the 8088 and was followed by the IBM AT which used the 80286.</p>

<p>Yes, reinstall CS2 from within Win Virtual PC / XP Mode.<br> Times have changed! Updates are now mandatory for reliable operation. Maybe it shouldn't be that way but it is.</p>

<p>I should have clarified that you NEED to uninstall/reinstall CS2 after setting up Win Virtual PC.<br> If you are using the Windows 7 drivers for your video card try downloading and installing the manufacturer's drivers since it sounds like some issues are video related. If not be sure you have installed the latest manufacturer's drivers for your card. </p>

<p>Why not just install Windows Virtual PC and XP Mode in Win 7 (64bit). Details at Microsoft. Files are free. Little or no lag while running in that mode. Works great for older apps and drivers. Another method (a bit more work) is to install dual boot. You'll need XP installation disks but then you'll have a true XP work environment.<br /> I agree with others that Win 10 is likely to have the same problems as Win 7 with respect to CS2. Of course the Best solution would be to sign up for the Adobe Photoshop bundle @ $9.95/mo. At least download the 30 day trial to see what you are missing.</p> <p>Good luck.</p>

<p>You might want to invest in a changing bag for the future. They are inexpensive and light enough to take in the field. They provide darkroom protection even on a sunny day outdoors although I always try to find some shade to work in.</p>

<p>Ops ! Sorry I thought you wanted a +3 not a -3. Good luck anyway.</p>

<p>Mervyn -<br> I have a Nilon rubber eyecup for an F2 and a Nikon +3.0 lens insert. Let me know if interested.</p>

<p>USB 3.0 must be supported by BIOS on the motherboard. <br> Chances are USB 3.0 is not supported. As mentioned go to the HP website and check on the specs for your computer model. You can also try just googling the model number and look for any reviews. USB 3.0 cards and external readers just revert to 2.0 if attached to a computer which doesn't support 3.0.</p>
