<p>Lex & Dan,</p>
<p>I agree completely. I think she entered in the magazine comp, in hopes of winning the Sigma lens or cash, which is fine. I just think that she will be disappointed in the book results. I too, think that her photographic vision and talent (which she has much of) would be better served by self publishing, etc. This Photographer Forum book will not get any distribution of any type. It's just a way of them making more profit.</p>
<p>Thanks<br /> Russ</p>

<p>Hello</p>
<p> A friend of mine just got accepted as a "finalist" and they are now asking her to purchase their printed book, at $55.00 per book. What I want to know, is some first hand experience from anyone that actually has gone through this process and also ordered the book. What size was their image printed, the quality of the book, etc?</p>
<p> Personally, I think it's a waste and somewhat of a money grab. But she wants first hand experience.</p>
<p>Thank You<br>

<p>The newest Portra 400 film is VERY fine grained. I'm amazed at how fine it is. I rate it at 320.</p><div>

<p> I just shot my flash meter with the small flash. The flash meter is telling me that at 10 feet with ASA 400 film, to shoot at f/8 Does this help at all?</p>
<p>Thanks<br>

<p>I've attached a couple snaps of the camera. Lex, yes, this is the same system that our Oly RC rigs employ. It's the Vivitar ES rangefinder. I don't know why I cannot submit an image, like I did in the opening thread?<br>
<br /> <br /> Thanks<br /> Russ</p>

<p> I think that you are correct. But the guide # on the flash is for ASA 100 speed film. I'm burning 400 speed film. So maybe set the guide setting on the camera at 40?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Hello</p>
<p> I have a rangefinder camera that has the "flashmatic" system on it. With the Flashmatic system, you just set the guide # setting on the camera, and focusing it opens or closes the aperture to the proper size for correct exposure. I have a small flash unit with a guise # of 50, with ASA 100 film. So that would give me a guide # of 100 with 400 ASA film. The guide # ring on my rangefinder is in meters, they are, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 40, 56. So which setting would I use for a guide # of 100?<br>

<p>Philip</p>
<p> Thanks. You are correct. It is a non-rotating barrel.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Hello</p>
<p> I just received this lens. I am curious as to what type of lens hood Canon supplied with it. The barrel extends and rotates when zoomed, so can I assume that it did not come with a "tulip" shaped hood?</p>
<p>Thanks<br>

<p>How does the grain and color compare to one another in the 160 and 400 Portra films? Are they similar?</p>
<p>Thanks<br>

<p> I had my Oly RC re-calibrated for the 1.5v Silver Oxide batt's, and it performs splendidly! :-)</p>

<p>I burn film exclusively. No digital at all. I still get requests from clients that want their wedding to be shot on film only.</p>

<p>Yes, there is pleasant, and not as pleasant Bokeh. It's derived from the actual design of the lens.For whatever reason, this topic is getting way too much attention in the last few years. Seriously, when was the last time you looked at a fantastic photo, and said to yourself, "Wow, what a great shot, but too bad the Bokeh sucks"?</p>

<p> Yes, Komine, constructed lenses and a few of the earlier Vivitar Series 1, lens designs (Series 1, 70-210 3'rd edition, Series 1, 28-90, were, and are high quality optics. They made them to a price point. And back then, Vivitar did not skimp on their Series 1 designs. Many of the Komine made non-Series 1, lenses are of superb optical and mechanical design and construction. if you'd like more information, check out the Kiron Klub.</p>
