Guess not, I'm crushed!

I'm just posting to see if you got my check and if my icon is up.

Its kind of an ego trip I guess!

If you get a new autofocus Gizamatron D camera with the 10-1200mm f/1.4 lens you'll be a much better photographer, that's for sure. AND, you'll find it much easier to pick up the babes.

Johnny, you remind me of guys who worry about the size of their peckers!!

The meter in my EOS 3 is such a piece of junk that I'm going exclusively with a handheld meter (incidence readings).

What I've got is a cookie entitled "default@www.photo[3]" and inside that there is the following, "ad_browser_id 337169453 www.photo.net/ 3584 3190974464 30050941 3333812". In the empty spaces there is a solid square box.

I've got scads of cookies working on other web sites and so there's no reason to suspect that the one from PN is not working. I certainly did nothing to disable any cookies on my HD.

I've gotten a lot of use out of Photo.Net and I've come to feel that

I should pony up and help pay the bills. However, first I want to

get past this business of having to register everytime (almost) that

I post a message in a forum. Are other people having this problem?

I always check the "remember" box but to no avail. C'mon, somebody,

my check book is HOT!!

Remember this about variable F/stop lenses. If you are shooting transparency film in manual mode you have to be VERY careful when you zoom because the F/stop is changing and that'll throw your exposure off enough to be noticed. If you are shooting in an automatic mode then its not a problem. Having said that, I've got the 300 and its just a jim-dandy lens.

I've got the 14mm 2.8 and it definitely is soft in the corners. If I were doing commercial work I'd chuck it but for "recreational" photography it works just fine. Now, that is not to say I won't find an excuse to buy a 14mm Canon.............!!

If you want to look like a local you can find a heavy plastic shopping bag and just pile everything into it. You don't appear to be packing a lot of gear and the camera will most likely be hanging from around your neck. You'll save money on the expensive bag and have more cash to buy film (or beer).

Gustavo, you are just TOO kind!!

Take a Hasselblad and have your seamstress sew on some REALLY BIG pockets!

Thanks for the input guys, muchly appreciated. Yeah, I'll go read that manual some MORE!

I'd looked in the manual for a solution to that problem before but looked in the wrong place. Thanks for the input.

I used to be able to hold the shutter release down and the camera would keep on making exposures (and the autowinder would advance the film between each exposure) and now I've gotta push the shutter realease down for each exposure. I'm wondering if I've set something wrong on this camera. Any ideas?

I'm beginning to cuss the day I ever bought a Canon EOS 3. Along

with the fact that it never did make a proper exposure in any

automatic mode, it now will not focus nor will the shutter release in

manual mode!! Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Has anybody else had

the latter problem with an EOS 3? I JUST changed the battery so

that's not the problem. If so, let me know right away before I use

it to remove the concrete in my back yard!

I just might get a little two stroke engine and attach it to mine!

Well, shoot. I wanted to post a picture of it but that option does not seem to be available.

My sweet wife, clever girl that she is, figured out that I need a new

camera bag. So, for my birthday, she got me a Tamrac 697 complete

with roller wheels and an extender handle, just the item for carry-on

luggage. I already had a nice Tamrac shoulder bag but MAN that

sucker got to be heavy and now all I gotta do is just roll my gear

around. Life just got better!

Shoot of roll using the camera's built-in meter and then shoot a roll using only incidence readings (point the meter at the light source). Then, examine the negatives of both rolls. The difference should be immediate.

Let me suggest that you spend a great deal of time reading the manual first. I've had an EOS 3 for several years and I'm continually refering to the manual to answer some question. Its 143 pages long for good reason!

We already have a "Camera Equipment" category.

I think it depends on what kind of photography you do. I bought the EOS 3 because I thought that'd be just the cat's meow. Not only do I not use it but I then learned that the built-in meter was a piece of crap. Canon does some things really well and completely falls on it's face in other areas. That's life.

Is it really worth it for $15?
