can you use ifared film in a rebel g? what about the ilford sfx,

that's not realy infared is it? can I use that stuff?

who other than tamron and sigma makes eos compatible stuff?

And what would be the cheapest plan of attack to get an Eos fisheye?

a few more dumb questions.

1. what did the guy before this mean when he said the finder wasn't HP.

2. what is so great about the 40/60 metering system (how does it work)

3. why is it so commonly reffered to as the N200, is the f-301 that I have an overseas model or something.

thanks again

I recently came upon an f-301 with some mirror and aperture problems,

I got it all fixed, and was just wondering how nice of a camera it

is. Does anyone out there have one? And if you do, do you like it?

I have another general question too. But I don't know how to put it

really.

As I said earlier the camera had aperture problems. The little tab on

the body that catches on the little tab on the lens as you change the

aperture had lost its tension, and sure enough upon inspection the

spring had come off. I have it all tensioned now but when I put the

lens on it seems like the tab on the camera should catch on the side

of the tab on the lens, but when doing that it doesn't always work

well. The other option is when you put the lens on position the tab

on the camera directly between the body and the lens tab. for some

reason I don't think this feels right, but it works better. And in

the process of fixing the mirror i knocked loose the battery contacts

(I'm going to go solder that now) so I can't use the light meter or

anything to check which way is right. So if this question made any

sense, which I don't think I even understand now, please let me know

which way to do it. I guess you just have to see it to know what I

mean.

Thanks - Dave

I coated two canvas boards and a streteched canvas at about 1:45 (11-12) one day, and worked the two canvas boards next day(11-13) at about 2. the canvas is still sitting in the dark, it I'm gonna go ahead and do it tomorrow (11-15) so hopefully everyone will respond by then.

thanks

I just started working with luminos' variable contrast liquid

emulsion. I have done on two canvas boards and on both of them the

emulsion has pulled off in places. on the second one I did no

agitations, and it turned out much better, but still some of the

emulsion pulled off. I am about to my final print of this on a nice

stretched canvas. My question is this, I was under the impression

canvas did not need to be pretreated, do I need to coat with

polyurethane? is the canvas treated with something bad? and is it

something else I was doing not realated to the coat or the emulsion?

(i processed through ilford developer stop and fixer, and then let

soak in a tub of water)
