<p>I've been to India many times. <strong>I have never feared being robbed</strong>. The less you take, the better off you will be. I used to go with just a Leica M7 with a 35mm and a small digital cam. People love to see their picture right away. Lately, I've added a 5D and a 24-70mm. In the cities, it's very crowded...so wide angles are better. If you are <em>certain</em> you're going to be near wildlife, then you will need a longer lens. Because, I've mostly been a Leica shooter, I'm a firm believer in using your feet instead of a zoom lens.<br>

A wise man once told me... when you travel, take half as much stuff, twice as much money and you will triple your good times. That advice has never failed me.</p>

 

<p>Try Pearl Paint or Blick Art Materials. Both sell archival framing/matting supplies.</p>

<p>Actuall, this is the one that could be anywhere.</p><div></div>

<p>More Istanbul</p>

<p>Could be anywhere...but, it's Istanbul</p><div></div>

<p>My workhorse Epson 2200 has developed an odd quirk. It still makes great prints, but now it spits out a blank sheet before printing on the next sheet. <br>

Anyone have a sollution to this? It's not an end of the world problem, but it is annoying.</p>

<p>Supposedly, better white balance and auto-focus.</p>

<p>There is a new firmware upgrade for the D-Lux4. Has anyone done it? If so, any problems? <br>

I'm always a little wary about "upgrades" when the camera is currently working just fine.<br>

Thanks.</p>

 

Actually, it's not the X Factor...it's the X Files. Rumors abound that Druids left a small block of rubble at Stonehenge with the marking "M3" on it. In fact if you stand an M-series on-end in bright sunlight on January 15th, the shadow will point towards a Japanese camera collector. You have to do it fast though. Otherwise the lens will burn a hole in your shutter.

 

BTW, it's likely no one here wants to know how something feels in your hands.

It's the only camera I'm sorry I sold.

Looks like the innards of a M8.

I agree with Ray. What is it you want to say? If you juxtapose a child in a stroller with an elederly person in a wheelchair, then you will be making a comment. If you put together a shot of a group of goth girls with a group of mall girls then again you a presented a certain POV.

Elis and Pico,

 

I agee that Klett didn't actually "copy" the work, but restaged it for his desired effect.

 

My point is there is nothing wrong with trying to "re-create" an image.

 

Don't you hate it when someone agrees with you :>)

"Copying" images is common in the worlds of art/photography. Mark Klett did it with his Rephotographic Survey Project (1977-79)where he copied 19th Century landscape images. Also, Richard Misrach did a series of photos of paintings http://www.amazon.com/Pictures-Paintings-Richard-Misrach/dp/1576871479

 

Restaging work is quite different than making a copy of someone elses images and then selling them as originals or as your own. Go for it.

I don't know what your expectations are, but I have the lens and it's very sharp. What camera are you using?

Call Epson. I have had very good luck with their support.

Actually, Matt is right on this and gives the defintion used for painting a drawing.

 

In the context of the question, "tonal range" is the degree to which a sensor or film can capture light and dark. High contrast film for example has a realatively small tonal range. When discussing cameras, I think it is safe to say that a low pixal P&S will have less "tonal range" than a 13+ megapixal full frame sensor.

 

In other words, if it were possible to have a grey-scale chip chart with an infinite number of distinct chips, the camera or film with a lower "tonal range" would distinguish fewer of the chips.

Can't find a price yet.

 

Stephen, I didn't realize that typing the model # of a camera into a Google search window was that tough.

With no guilt whatsoever :>), I always carry around a little Canon SD600 in my pocket. I get amazing 8x10's out of it.

Derek got it. Pretty girl...just another Leica.
