I have used snapfish on many occasions. Especially for large orders that I can prepay and save money. I

uploaded 700+ images tonight and pre-paid for 4x6 prints. They tried to charge me $37.74 for shipping

cost.

This is crazy ... and it's something new that snapfish is doing to get over on their customers.

I am back to Mpix for my large orders. 29 cents is a bit much for a 4x6, but the quality is great and at

least they are honest with their shippiong cost.

I have been searching for awhile for a Lastolite Skylite panel 3x3. I can't find one anywhere.

Anyone know where I can purchase one?

I've had no luck at B&H or other large stores.

I love using my Nik Color Efex filters. There just doesn't seem to be many tutorials out there

on how to get the most out of them. I know there are three on the Nik site, I am hoping

somebody out there knows where I can find more.

Thanks.

I purchased a demo Profoto 7b pack. Everytime I try to charge it, I can never get a full charge.

The green light never goes to full charge, and it goes to trickle charge. Is the battery

defective?

I would also reccomend Joe McNally's "the speed of light" DVD producded by Nikon School.

To say "a lot of people can do what he does" is a stretch though. I don't know many

photographers who can light Ellis Island with strobes or photograph a man changing a

light bulb on top of the Empire State Building.

I have searched for an answer to this question, but have come up

short. I am color calibrating my Mac powerbook G4 with Monaco EZ

Color. I On the powerbook Color LCD display below brightness there is

the option of automatically adjusting brightness as ambient light

changes. My question is this:

If I calibrate my display, does this option change the monitor

profile I have created?

Well ... jusrt when i thought things were looking up ... for some reason, when I put my

card in the reader it is now creating a folder instead of showing the Lexar card icon in

green. After I copy the images, I can not eject the folder or drag to the trash can.

Anybody out there found a fix to this problem?

Giampiero - Thanks. I dragged to the trash without ejecting and problem is fixed.

Glad these forums exist.

Almost everytime I remove my Lexar cards from my card reader the message pops up that

I ejected the card incorrectly and may have lost data.

I am highlighting the card, and ejecting from file menu. The card dissapears off my

desktop, I wait about a minute then eject. No luck - same message.

Anyone else encounter this problem and find a solution?

Yes. It can download a CF card while connected to the computer via USB. Make sure to visit

Epson.com and download the new driver if you plan on using it for high res files. I recently

brought it with me on a shoot and could not show work to customers because the

message "files to large!" appeared. I contacted Epson and downloaded the new updated

and now it works great viewing RAW and Jpg's out of my Nikon D2X.

I just signed up to compare prints from both labs. I can not, no matter what I try, get a file

to upload to MPIX from my Mac G5. Anybody elsse using MAC?

Waiting for thr other to let me join.

By the way ...

Has anyone seen the D2X advertisment for $3999.00 floating around the top of the

Photo.Net site? To say I would be wary to purchase a D2X from anyone selling one already

at $3999.00 is an understatement. Like many others, I am on the $4999.00 waiting list

and not sure how long it will take to move down that list. $3999.00 today sounds to good

to be true.

I have never heard of them, but would be interested to hear from anyone who has dealt

with them, or anyone who has already ordered a D2X from them.

I have never had my G5 crash before ... until visitng Moose's site to read the rave review

on the D2X. I am also looking forward very much to the DPreview review.

I think the prime lenses are going to be the best bang for your buck as well as give you the

sharpest photographs. Zooms are nice, when they are not MONSTER zooms. IMO, a 28-

200 zoom lens is not a good choice due to the loss of image quality. I own the Tamron

28-105 2.8 and love the lens. It is very bulky though. I use it primarily for weddings when

I can't get close enough. Very sharp lens for the money IMO.

I think the best all around zoom is still the foot zoom. Prime lenses also make you work

for the shot and make you a better photographer.

Edward - Thanks for the useful info. The negative looks OK to me. Also, the print I had done from my lab looks great. I purchased the 9000 so I did not have to use the lab all the time when I shoot film.

Based on what your saying, it looks like I may have to use the lab for those pics with tricky exposures.

Here's an example of a poor scan. I have had some limited success tweaking the GEM

setting.

As for the FH-869GR glass holder, I am using the appropriate mask and it is still reading

as 6x9.

Thanks for all the feedback.<div></div>

I recently purchased a Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED. My initial 6x7 scans (scanned at

default factory settings) looked wonderful. However, when I attempted to scan some

35mm wedding negs they looked horrible, very, very grainy. They looked like a very bad

flatbed scan. Prints from the neg look great so I know it's the scanner not the shot. I spent

the day searching online and trying different settings but could not

get the 35mm scans to look good. I find the manual to be very limited.

Has anyone else had this problem scanning 35mm negs with the Cool scan 9000 ED and

found a solution?

I purchased the FH-869GR with glass holder for my 6x7 negs and noticed when I placed

my negs in the scanner it reads as 6x9 negs. Should they be reading as 6x7 or is 6x9 by

the default for this holder?

I was also hoping to find some online resources on the 9000 but find they are very limited.

I did find a Coolscan 9000 Yahoo Group but limited members and even 0 responses.

Hi - Anyone know where I can purchase replacement bubls for MultiBlitz MINISTUDIO 400

lights?

Hi - I am looking for bulbs for my Multiblitz Ministudio 400.

Any body got a good lead?

These are truly hard to find.

I love my 60 micro when shooting digital with my Nikon D1X. Not very expensive and

makes a great portrait lens with the 1.5 ratio.
