  1. OK, I know "best" is vague. I need a good yet inexpensive scanner. I'll be

    scanning 6x6 and maybe 6x9 black and white negs and color transparencies.

    Probably will print up to 24x24" but would like the option to go larger. I don't

    mind a reburb. I've been using a refurbed Epson 3170 for over a year now and

    need to upgrade before they stop making medium format scanners.

     

    I'm hoping to stay under $250-$300. Am I crazy?

    Any suggestions?

  2. I rented a 40D to back up my 20D on an assignment. I was going to use the 40D for the job

    but I was getting what looked like jagged edges on the LCD display. I'm sure this must be

    some issue with the new large LCD magnification but it looked like hell and scared me back

    to the 20D for the shoot.

     

    When's the 50D coming out?!

    ;-)

  3. Dan, thanks so much for all your help. Whew!

     

    Got it. It was a bit of a bitch but I suppose it HAD to be installed in the verticle bay beside

    the master HD. Hard to get out but not so much after one discovers there's a screw

    holding it in, unlike the horizontal bay. My one faux pax was that this screw fell down into

    the drive bay and disapeered. Hope this won't kill me later.

     

    I was able to initialize and partition the drive. It says it has 298GB (it's a 325GB drive) so I

    guess I need that card?

     

    I take no joy in these mechanical challenges.

     

    Thanks so very much for your help guys!

  4. OK, I am a total newbie at this. I checked the IDE cable, recomnnected it. Still the same result.

    Just in case, I am assuming that the other end of the IDE cable is plugged in wherever it's

    supposed to be. Are the factory installed on one end?

     

    The slot by the main drive is verticle and I can't seem to find a way to unhinge it to try

    installing the new drive there (with the other IDE cable).

  5. This is my first time installing an internal drive.

     

    I am intalling a Western Digital 320 GB "WD Caviar SE EIDE" hard drive into a Mac G4 silver door.

     

    I have the drive in and connected via the 40-pin 80 conductor cable but didn't find a power supply cable.

    Should that be inside the Mac (like the 40-pin cable)?

     

    Also will I need a Ultra ATA/100 controller card (like the WD instructions say)?

     

    Any insights on how to get this thing up and running will be GREATLY appreciated!

  6. I'm looking for a good 20mm (or 24mm) to say 50mm or 60mm EOS zoom for a Canon 20D. I'm hoping to

    find a good one for around $300. Suggestions anyone? Am I in dreamland again? Doesn't have to be super

    fast just want to have no CA and good sharpness.

    If you know of such a lens please let me know where you bought it and price payed. Thanks in advance.
