Thanks for your reply. Is 6.13 volt too low for 2cr5 battery ? I checked with a digital multimeter.

Thanks for your replies . I was referring to the frame counter and the custom function values and iso value. I am also having bc error with eos 3 . Is 6.13 v too low for 2cr5 battery ?

Hi, I have EOS 3 camera and EOS 30 (elan 7e) film cameras. If I take the batteries out of the cameras and they were having film roll inside, will the information on the last frame shot be lost ? EOS 3 uses 2CR5 batteries and EOS 30 uses CR123A batteries.

Hi, I am getting a bc error while shooting with eos-3 . This is an used camera that I bought several years ago from keh . I thought the problem was with the 2CR5battery and changed it . Will there be a problem if the battery is stored for a long time in the camera without usage or left outside the body for a long time? I get bc 3 error and sometimes it shows low battery . It happened with canon eos 400 mm f5.5 usm lens . I also use the canon ef 1.4 extender. I had similar problem with another lens. I also noticed that I had problem when shooting against bright light or against sunlight. I press the shutter release button, it opens and remains in position , and viewfinder remains dark. The shutter opens, gets stuck and does not return to normal . After switching off the camera , and changing battery , shutter closes but shot is ruined. I had similar situation with long lens too and I tried with different battery and I had same problem shooting against sun. I then switched off camera and then tried by switching from autofocus to manual focus and it worked normally. what could be the problem?

HI, thanks for all the replies. I use a canon elan 7e ( eos 30 ) and eos 3. I do write the frame number on the plastic canister when I switch rolls mid-way ( different lighting conditions - iso change , slide / negative) . I have unfortunately done double exposure , spoiling really good photos - landscape / wildlife over architecture. The roll in question - I think it did not load properly and I got some dust on it and possibly did not load it to avoid scratching the film. Leader does not seem to be out much. thanks all.

found some on findlab , freestyle photo USA. that was in november and december. I had to wait a while with findlab

Hi, I have a slide roll with leader out (little extended) in a canister with handwritten instructions (my own) saying clean and use. I shot the photos long ago - couple of months ago and am not able to remember the context in which I wrote on the canister and if this for the film. I asked the lab and they said they will cut a few frames and develop to check if its exposed or not. This is velvia 35mm roll. If they cut a few frames , can I still load it into the camera? Is there any other way?

Hi, I have been using the 400 mm f5.6 lens from canon for a long time. I already have a 100 -300 mm lens. I use this with extender ( canon 1.4 ex II ) . I use with EOS 3 film body and get autofocus at center point with the extender combination. Its slow with bodies like canon 550D ( without extender). The lower range of bodies focus slowly with it. I also use canon elan 7e or eos 30. The IS has not been an issue. It is lighter than 100 - 400 mm . I have used it for wildlife and pictures are sharp. The 100-400 had push-pull type zoom.

Hi, there were drivers for nikon scanners under linux. the project was called sane or scanner access now easy. You might want to try with a linux distribution. SANE - Scanner Access Now Easy . Might want to check with the contacts if there is any update.

i purchased a canon eos 3 from keh.com more than 8 years ago. I am recently getting bc error. I got the low battery warning and replaced with another battery and within a short time , had same problem on the same day. This was near the sea. The shutter stopped in between initially. After a few frames , it worked fine. Few days ago , I had the same problem and it started working after few frames. I had changed battery after getting bc. I had same problem with the new battery and after few frames with CB and shutter stopping , it worked fine. The batteries are within expiry period but purchased few years ago sand maybe from same source. Temperature around 26 Celsius.Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance

I use a pair for cleaning my cycling riding glasses ( project rudy rydon scratch resistant glasses). I have filters on all my lenses. Its very rare that I need to clean my lens. Its mostly the filter that I clean. Its the one that I use for the riding glasses that needs cleaning. I use boiled drinking water at room temperature and let a few drops on the filter and wipe it off with the cloth. I blow the dust away with blower brush before the process.

Hi, I have 35mm canon equipment - 2 film bodies and 6 lenses with flash, extension tube, ballhead, tripod. I recently bought pentax 67ii along with 3 lenses . I have lowepro computrekker bag. The challenge that I am facing is that I can carry only one system - 35mm or the medium format. It looks like both will occupy the bags just by themselves. In airtravel , only one bag is permitted in handluggage. How do you guys manage? thanks in advance and have a nice one

Hi, I have the microdear microfiber cleaning cloth. How do I clean it manually? thanks in advance

Thanks for your response. I normally buy from adorama.com and bh . I have been a customer since 2000. I also buy from freestyle photo. They have a wider range of film. My 35mm equipment is from the first two. I got my used stuff from keh.com. I noticed that one of the Polaroid accepts mini film and wanted to know if any other company film could be used for the mini. There's colour and black and white for mini

Hi, my niece recently got a fuji instax mini 8 camera and I would like to buy some film for her. What films do you suggest? I am familiar with only 35mm and medium format film . I am not familiar with what is compatible with this camera. thanks in advance.
