I may be a litte late on this, but still thought I'd give it a shot.I just started using Photoreflect Publisher 2.0 and am really happy with it. It allows your customer to view and/or order online. You set up packages & prices as well as discounts and shipping costs. It will cost you a percentage for their service, but in my limited experience it is worth it in the exttra prints that are ordered. It is totally secure & it interfaces with your existing website pretty well (you don't necessarily have to have your own site as you will receive your own publisher URL). Go to www.expressdigital.com and look for Photoreflect Publisher. It is very professional looking IMO.

Rookie problem...I'm finding after a day of shooting, I return to the

office for editing & I have a couple cards with photographs having

the same numbers (i.e. 2 cards with DSC_001) one of which may be a

formal before the wedding & the other may be a candid at the

reception just after I've changed cards. Camera is Nikon D100.

 

There has to be a better way to manage these files both in camera and

after download into the computer. So far I've been batch-renaming in

PS7, but then they're often out of order. HELP save me some time,

please. Thanks in advance.

My 220 back constantly "thinks" that the dark slide is installed so

it won't allow me to shoot under normal conditions, I have to use

the default 1/400 shutter speed as if the battery is dead (and yes I

replaced the battery). It works fine w/ my 120 back. How does this

work & is there a way that I can just override it somehow? Thanks.

As the subject says, the Air Force Thunderbirds will be in town &

I'm looking for a good, fast film. Ultimately I'd like to get some

good quality enlargements (not sure how big yet, depends on how good

the shots come out) so I'm guessing a print film.

 

I don't like the high contrast of the Kodak Royal Gold/Gold (or

whatever they're calling these days). I guess I'm leaning towards a

Portra UC or VC, but what speed would you think? It'll have to be

fast to keep up w/ the jets & my 500mm lens so I think 800, but

how's the grain? Thanks.

Follow up: How does the camera "know" when a roll of film is finished & could low batteries be the culprit? Thanks again.

Quite often my F-5 will indicate that the film is at the "end" when

in fact I'm only a few shots into a new roll. This happens quite

frequently and is especially annoying when I need to shoot multiple

frames quickly. Usually I can cycle the on/off switch and it'll go

away, but obviously that's not always an option. BTW, I have the MF-

28 multi-control back. Help!

I just recently purchased a a bellows for my RZ/RB (I have both). I

believe it's the G model (not G3 or 2), but the filter slot is SO

narrow, that anything but Gels are out of the question. And for that

matter, if the gel is sandwiched in a holder, it won't fit either.

I'd like to be able to at least put a Grad. ND resin in it or maybe

even some Cokin P's. I thought I had read where you can modify them

or buy them modified? Any help? Thanks.

Well the reason I ask is that I have an F5 and an F4 and am entertaining the idea of going digital. Rather than pay for the body of the F5 which I already have)that comes with the Kodak, I thought it might be possible to buy a sort-of conversion kit for the DCS-760. Maybe not - guess it's time for a D1.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but....Can you modify an F5 body to

essentially make a Kodak DCS 760 (or similar) that would be cost

effective? Thanks in advance.

This is a newbie question so please excuse me, but what is the

difference between 120 & 220 film (besides the picture quantity). It

would seem to me that you could put 120 film in a 220 back, but not

the other way around...no?

Good point on the 645 having a focusing ring. I'm not AS concerned about the RZ/RB issue because I have both bodies & can use my RB lenses on my RZ (other issues there, but still useable). Thanks everyone.

How can I identify a lens to associate it with a body. I'm trying to

buy a used lens, but the seller doesn't know what body it's

associated with? Thanks.
