    SD card reader that supports FireWire?

    in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing

    NK - thanks for that pointer, but those two new Lexar card readers don't actually fit the bill either, because their FireWire card reader doesn't support SD/SDHC, and the dual (CF/SD) one that does is only for USB2.0

     

    I wonder why manufacturers don't support FireWire for SD/SDHC. I'd spend more than $10 for it, because I don't have a Mac just yet and in any event I would have thought that it's a pretty common interface to want to support...

    So my PC has a lame USB1.1 port and a fast FireWire port and I recently got a

    D80. Turns out that it seems impossible to find an SD card reader that supports

    FireWire. What's going on? Yes, I could get a USB2.0 PCI card, but my PC is soon

    (finally) going to get booted in favor of a Mac, so I am not keen on that. Yes,

    I can use the USB1.1 port, but its slooowww. Yes, I can apparently get a

    SD-to-FireWire adapter and then use my CF card reader, which does connect to

    FireWire, but it's out of stock at BH, I don't even know whether it works, and I

    can't believe nobody makes a native FireWire SD/SDHC card reader. What gives??

    <p>Tauseef, I have just shot my very first roll of Fuji 64T, also in an indoor/stage setting. I was unhappy with other films and the color cast I always got.

    <p>If you take a look <a href="http://www.photo.net/photo/2304825">at this picture</a>, you'll see that I was struggling quite a bit with the slow speed of that film and the fact that I had to go wide open to f1.4 to stay at 1/4 sec there (with a tripod, but I had trouble focussing properly).

    <p>I happen to like the colors though - they are strong (unaltered in PS), and quite representative of the stage light that was there. But next time I better try a Kodak 160T. If I am not mistaken, there is no faster Fuji Tungsten film.

    <p>Hope this helps a little. I'd also appreciate any other advice the oldies here can give.

    <p> Thanks
