Hi, i have used a Mamiya C330 TLR for a few years now. I also picked it because money was an issue. As i have said i have used it for a few years and it's a great camera and if used with care can produce top quality shots, be they portraits, landscapes or even close-ups. you can see some of my shots here. http://www.scotshot.co.uk/gallery_83169.html all square shots were taken with the afore mentioned TLR.

Jim.

I have a small mark on every photograph that i take with my EOS 300D. I have

changed lenses and cleaned the sensor and it's still there. I have come to the

conclusion that it's a piece of pollen or dust that's lodged between the chip

and the filter that is in front of the chip. Is there a way i can fix this

without send the camera to Canon and being being without my camera for weeks.

A cropped photograph is attached, the mark is in the upper right hand corner.

If anyone knows a place to fix it in Frankfurt Germany or somewhere close and

what it would cost i would be greatfull for the information.

 

Thanks, Jim

Thank you, just what i need.

I have an old Nikon coolpix digital camera that i would like to use for a

project but i don't have the drivers for it.

Does anyone know where i can get the drivers and software for the Nikon

Coolpix 950.

 

Thank you.

Thanks for your answers will try them out and let people know how it went. Thanks again. Jim.

I formated by mistake a CF Card I use with a Canon D Rebel, I have not

over-writen the card. Does anyone know any software I could use to

recover the images. Is there any way I can recover the images on the

card. ANY help would be welcome, Jim.

Thanks to everyone who answered. I will be buying it Monday. Thanks again.

I have heard great things about this macro lens. Those who have one or

have used it, how good is it realy. Your opinion about using this lens

also as a portrait lens would be welcome. Thanks, Jim

I just bought a Epson 4990 and received Silverfast SE and Epson

scanning software which software do you recommend i use for 120 film

6X6 slides i seem to be getting better results with the Epson

software. I don't realy want to sit for hours learning the

Silverfast software but i will if the results are worth it.

I know that the D rebel and the european 300D are supposed to be the

same camera but why do they use different batteries? Are the batteries

for the D rebel and 300D interchangeable? Can i use a 1100mAh battery

in 300D or a 1800 mAh in a D rebel? and if yes why have two battery types?

Thanks to all who commented. Phil, thanks for the link it explained everything i wanted to know. Regards, Jim.

I have been out learning to use my new 300D and it looks like a lot of

shots are being overexposed so I have set the screen alumination to

the second mark so they look ok on the viewer and then i can check

exposure on the computer at home, but that only works if your screen

is set correctly. So my question is this should i use a hand held

meter to calculate exposure and then set the 300d viewer and then

computer screen. Also what have others been doing about this. Regards,

Jim.

Thanks for your answers guys. So the answer is NO unless used with a flash that supports it or the filmware Hack. Thanks again.

In the shooting info for my new 300D it always says first curtain

sync. I'm not a photographer that uses flash much except with studio

set ups, my question is this. Is it possible to set the Digital Rebel

/ 300D to second curtain sync and if so HOW? I have not read anything

in the manual.

Hi, I just received a Canon 300D, i have a few questions i hope people

can help with. I am new to digital cameras but i'm used to EOS film

Bodies. I have installed the software included with the camera, most

things seem to be OK just a few things i'm not sure about. Im running

Windows XP and i'm using Photoshop 5.0 and i'm shooting Raw images.

 

1. Should i save a file as an 8 bit or 16 bit file.

 

2. Why is the default for the tiff file saved in photoshop 72dpi.

Can i change it? If yes how?

 

3. Specified resolution of output file- the default is 96ppi but can

be set between 0-2000 what should i set it to?

 

I am not very comfortable with the computer side of digital

Photography (Yet) I hope to improve, any help is very much welcome.

Regards, Jim.

The polarity is reversed but i have an adapter that goes on the hot shoe of my EOS 1000fn and 100 and it fires the flash every time.

Jose, thanks for the advice as i had not thought about pre-flash. i will try using and old metz flash i have also no preflash will set it at f4 enough to trigger the flash but have the strobes set at f11-f16 so the metz will have no effect on the exposure. Thanks again, jim.

I think i might go for the infra red solution as it's less wires. Also I suppose i could use the built in flash to trigger the strobes. Thanks for the info everyone. Jim.

Hi, perhaps someone is using this combo EOS 300D and Portaflash series

3 flash kit. Will i have any problems triggering the flash with hot

shoe adaptor and sync cable. I heard there was a problem with the

voltage. Can anyone shed some "light" :0) on this. Thanks, Jim.

I have in the past shot both XP2 and kodak 400cn and i like the

results of both but i have never pushed any of these films, i would

like to push them 1 perhaps 2 stops. Does anyone have info on which

film i should go for? I will be shooting in a bar that is not that

well lit and i can't use flash, i will also be using a standard 50mm

1.4 lens on a minolta X300s. Thanks in advance for any help. Regards, Jim.

I just bought an old folding camera an ADOX it has 75mm lens looks

great. Can anyone tell me anything about this camera. Regards Jim.

Ok, Thanks for your answers. I tried it but it does not fit, it's too fat and it's also shorter.

I know that both of the above cameras use 2cr5 batteries but can you

use CR P2,6V batteries also. I have two of them and they look like

they will fit but don't want to try them in case i screw up the

electronics in my cameras. Has anyone tried this? Thanks for your

help. Jim.

I shoot 35mm and 6X6. 6X6 is great to shoot you don't need to turn the camera for portraits/landscapes it is a great format.

I am thinking of buying a Canon 300D or D60 not sure yet. I use about

100-150 rolls of slide film per year so after one year the camera

would have payed for it's self. I will be going on a photo trip this

year and would need about 50-100 rolls of film just for that so this

year i would use more than normal should i just take the plunge and

get the digital camera. Thanks for any pointers you can give. Regards,

Jim.
