Hmmmm...Wonder if we have a post-PMA announcement soon...

Chris,

 

Thanks for the suggestion. Copying and resizing as jpegs in a new folder did the trick. Much better quality...cb

I'm printing a contact sheet of NEF files straight out of Nikon View

browser. I select all the images, right-click and hit 'print.' It

gives options on how many images to put on each sheet and what data

to include with the thumbnails. The images on the sheets (5 across

x 5 down) appear fuzzy and slightly grainy. I've confirmed the

captures are sharp with good color by viewing full-size. I'm

printing on an Epson C80 with Epson Premium Glossy paper.

 

Wondering if there is a down and dirty way to sharpen or enhance

these thumbnails before printing the contact sheet. Does anyone

have any ideas? (I know there is a way to batch process in PS,

however, I am not well-versed in that yet).

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions...cb

Thanks Brian. I had that same thought. I'll give it a try tonight.

I scanned an old B/W print on a flatbed, cleaned it up a little in

PS7, converted to grayscale and printed on Epson Premium Glossy Photo

Paper. Before printing, I went into 'properties' on the printer and

changed the characteristics from color to black and printed at

highest quality. Problem: print has noticable magenta cast when

compared to original.

 

Ideas on how to get a neutral B/W print? Thanks in advance...cb

Well, they sent you last year's...Must be clearing out inventory. The new one came out last week...Snowy branches on cover...John Shaw, shot with D100.

Gerald,

 

What do you mean by the 'latest' information on the D2H is not in the current catalogue? I have the latest catalogue and there is a 3-4 page spread in it (the one with the John Shaw image of snowy branches on the cover...)

Gateway has a 5 megapixel camera (!!) for $249.00. Sold under the 'Gateway' brand name, but surely they do not manufacture them.

What Eric said, PLUS the F100 now has a $200 (!!) rebate.

What kind of bracket do you have? The bottom of the flash attachment part of the SC-17 has a hole for a screw. My Stroboframe allows the SC-17 to be attached with a screw.

A Nikon rep was at a local shop last weekend and had stacks of them. If you have a relationship with a local shop, I'm sure they'll give you one if you ask...

RObert,

 

Thanks for update. Any word on the D1H/D1X focussing problems?

Thanks! And to think, I used to get A's in speling...

Has anybody heard of this outfit? I'm not sure if I have the

spelling correct. They served a studio I used to work for and

specialize in wedding processing and proofs. I searched Google and

they want to send me to Burrelle's Info Services...

Well, it appears this problem is not limited to the F5. A PJ friend of mine says this lens does not focus properly on the D1H's they are using at the newspaper. They ordered 15 of these lenses and all the PJ's are clamoring for their 80-200 AF-S lenses back.

Never mind. I found it. Sorry...

I can't find that forum Bob. (Maybe I didn't have enough coffee this AM). Please help...

Actually Ellis, not around Sept. 21, ON Sept. 21. My point was that Fall will be here soon and I've not heard anything...

OK, so what about an official release date? I keep hearing, "this Fall." Well, it's Sept. 9. Anybody have any updates?

OK thanks. I've heard they are the "same" as well. I don't understand how that can be...Kenko is Tokina and Tamron is Tamron. In other words, competing companies...?

I searched the archives and most of the info seems to be from about 2

years ago. I'm in the market for a TC for my Nikon 80-200 2.8 AF-D.

Anyone have experience with either the Kenko or Tamron TC's (both

1.4x and 2x)? There seems to be a split between reviews with the

slight advantage being given to the Kenko products. Insight anyone?

Thanks in advance...

Movie...I'll have to get back to you on that one

 

Song...F-Stop Blues, Jack Johnson.

For this project, Brandenburg DID NOT limit himself to one shot (as he did in "Chasing the Light). He told us he shot thousands of images for the new project, "Looking for Summer."

Lee,

 

Yes, he did say it. I was there...

PLEASE NOTE: I am really not trying to start yet another film vs.

digital war.

 

I was at a preview of Jim Brandenburg's new project this past Monday

in Minneapolis, "Looking for Summer," which is a sequel of sorts to

his "Chasing the Light" project. Anyway, he shot the entire new

project all in digital, saying, "Film is a dirty process. Digital is

more environmentally safe. And it really is the future." I just

found this interesting as I always thought Jim was a film guy...
