Mike, I do subscribe to Rogers Digital :) but I never ventured far enough into the ROD service to notice the shows. I'll check it out tonight.

Frank, I think the 2004 show was indeed filmed, at least that's what their web site suggests.

"I personally use vim instead of notepad.

A true coders should use vim (A UNIX's vi based text editor)."

My wife uses Vim (lemon scented, for cleaning purposes), but I don't think she knows what UNIX is ;).

Mike,

Hi Kay,

Take a look at Notepad++ (notepad-plus.sourceforge.net). It is free and quite advanced.

mike,

Thank you for your reply Robert. That's exactly the one I saw. I'm sure the model was very well compensated for what she was put through.

Was it really Stratford? That's a bit too far for me. I'll have to keep searching for something closer.

Hello,

Not too long ago, I saw this show (nakedinthehouse.com) on TV. I

think it was the 2003 edition, which took place somewhere in Toronto.

I'm wondering if anyone knows where exactly in Toronto. It looked

like an old, abandoned warehouse.

Also, if someone could recommend a similar location somewhere in or

around Toronto, I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

mike,

thank you for your answer Alan. it is what I was looking for. I was puzzled by the 5.6 aperture but now I know what's going on. I know about the Manual Diaphragm Adapter. I tried to find it but none of my local shops carry it. I know what it looks like and I know what it should do so I don't think I would have any problems fabricating something like it. Thanks again for your help guys.

mike,

thanx for your reply Jomar. I guess I should have checked the manual first ;). there is one more thing that troubles me. the largest aperture that can be set (using the aperture dial) is 5.6 and it does not make a difference if I use 1, 2, 3, or 4 tubes. that's why I got confused originally (after trying 3.5 and 4) and assumed the constant aperture of 5.6. again, any pointers will be appreciated.

mike,

hello,

here is a particular scenario: I have a set of M tubes which I want to

use with my A-1 and my FDn 135mm, f/3.5 lens. assuming that I can

somehow step down the aperture (after attaching the lens to the camera

using the tubes), how do I proceed to measure the light correctly?

the aperture reading says 5.6, and the time changes based on the

current light conditions.

I�m thinking that I need to adjust the time to match my manually set

aperture, right? so, for example, if the time says 1000 (the aperture

constantly displays 5.6) and my manual aperture is set to 16, I need

to adjust the time to 125 (1000 at 5.6 = 125 at 16)? Is my logic

correct? any help will be appreciated. thanx.

mike,
