  1. Hi, Brenda

    You´ll find that the 10d delivers better and clearer files that the d30. in fact I have

    never used a d30, I used to have a d60, but I have a 1d which is 4.3 megapixels and

    still the 10d file is better.

    For me there would be no doubt, I´d buy a 10d. You´ll be amazed of which is capable

    of delivering

  2. I would send the 140 back and get the 120., if your main use is portrait. i used to

    have a contax 645 and now i have hasselblad. many people shooting portrait uses the

    hasselblad 120 makro.planar. I think the one for contax is even better at long

    distances.

    Hope this helps

  3. Hi, Ann. It is pretty sunny and hot here in Spain in summer ,especially in Andalucia. Film? Both 100 and 400 would be ok. If you´ve got a Mamiya 6 that would be perfect, and one or two lenses. If you travel with many equipment youll get tired very soon of carrying it. Just a piece of advice.: beware the thieves.,always keep an eye on your equipment. i dont want to alarm you but it is better if you´re aware of. It just happens in the biggest cities, mostly Sevilla. Enjoy your trip and I know you´ll find Andalucia wonderful
  4. I have recently bought a second hand 903 SWC. Nice camera . But I have

    taken some shots including sun and street lights in the scene and i have

    noticed the pentagonal silhouettes from diaphragm blades (not very well

    defined in shape) shooting in a range of f8-f16. No filter on the lens. I dont

    think this normal, what do you think?

  5. Hi, again.

    When i had the Contax, i also purchased the vacuum insert, hoping that it

    would do the difference. i know it may sound weird but i found the same

    problem of flatness but now it was amazangly strange: at f8!!! two identical

    shots, one showed the problem the other not, camera mounted on a tripod,

    manual focused,etc. But what really drove me crazy with the camera was the

    day when on a wedding it didn´t shot flash mounted on hot shoe. Fortunately,

    i was near home and had to change the equipment, relying again on my best

    beloved Nikon F5.

    i know this to be a particular case but you can now understand the sort of

    feeling i got about that camera!

  6. i really don´t know what you are refering to but as a Contax 645 ex-owner can

    tell you something. I was really disappointed with that camera. Problems

    everywhere:delay when powering up, drain of baterries (just 9 or 10 roll),

    flatness of film inadequate sometime, flimsy film backs, etc. I also had a

    Pentax 645N which liked more than the Contax. In general a super camera

    the Pentax but i sold it bacause the lack of flatness wide open sometimes.

    After all the wandering, i ended up purchasing a Hasselblad 503 CW.

    Wonderful camera, very easy and no whistles, or auto-anything. just

    concentrate on the picture. I´va been so happy with Hasselblad that i have

    recently purchased a Hassy 903 SWC, amazing camera too.

    Hope this helps

  7. I´ve just bought a Hassy 903 SWC today. my question is about the external

    viewfinder. What we see inside the black lines is the actual image recorded

    on the film??? Any considerations on it??

    Thanks everybody

  8. thanks, everybody.

    but what a dont like about Leica is the fetishism about it. I want a camera to

    shoot pictures because i earn my living that way. i just dont collect M´s bodies

    like many people do, nor have my camera wiped with a soft peace of clothe

    repeatedly and suffered if it gets scratched. i have used Leica M6, it works

    flawlessly and even i´m thinking of purchasing one but can´t stand those

    opinions who blindly follow the aurea of the legend of a name. Perhaps my

    question wasnt clear enough. Would you pay $3000 for let´s say a

    Voigtlander or a Konica Hexar??? then why pay that for a Leica???
