<p>KEH seems to always have a 125 "ex only" lens listed in the FD section, I've always wondered what they are.</p> <p>Rockwell (don't hit me) has a write up on one, although I don't quite understand the "no ground glass" and not familiar with the Leicas he refers to. http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/film-bodies/ex-auto.htm</p> <p>you can click at the bottom of his article to go to canon museum which has specs</p> <p> </p>

<p>I've also had this same issue, I encourage the exercises that Chang mentioned, as well as overall body/shoulder exercises, and whatever your therapist says.</p> <p>My only input is if you find a mouse or trackball you like, buy a second one of the same type as a backup or use on 2nd computer, etc. In this age things tend to disapppear after a couple of years, as in short manufacturing run before features are changed.</p>

<p>"Spirit of pickiness" +1</p>

<p>The favorite thing about my 35 SE (purchased new 1981) is that people think it's a toy and "you can't possibly take serious pics with that..." especially with a flash turned upside down</p>

<p>You can, but the quality won't be as good as a dedicated film scanner. </p> <p>Before digital I used to use a Canon FD slide copier attachment on bellows with 50mm macro. I used daylight only, entire assembly on tripod pointed at blue sky. Made some nice black and white transparencies from BW negatives, but the quality then and now is nothing like from my nikon film scanners.</p> <p> Not sure what Nikon made with respect to bellows and film copying attachments,scroll down about 2/3 of way down on right, there is a pic of the canon slide duplicator, you get the idea. http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/canonf1/html/macro/macro.htm</p>

<p>I typed in Foghorn Leghorn and you popped right up.</p>

<p>F-1n and my 35 f2.0 concave yellowed lens and the 200 f4 macro</p>

<p>Maybe Sanjay needs the manual to know what the filter size is? ;=)</p>

<p>I've whacked my T90 intentionally to get the sticky shutter working. :)

<p>Or you can get a used one from Keh for under $200, with their 6 month warranty. No, I would not bother trying to get repaired.</p>

<p>Kevin, awesome cam and lens. Inspiring me to dig out my horseman fa for the weekend...</p> <p>btw, what happened to the OP Frank? I'm calling him late for dinner.</p>

<p>Lighten your load for mountaineering, try a g-series, g-16 or whatever the current one is, or a g1x for larger sensor. I don't go anywhere I need a rope, but you'd be surprised how having <em>one</em> camera <em>without</em> interchangeable lenses is freeing on outdoor or vacation adventures (I use slrs and mft with interchangeable lenses) . </p> <p>With respect to your slr, any modern Canon will suffice, if you're happy with the rebel series stick with that, but it's not an elementary question if you're considering xxd or 7d etc. I find the equipment review section on fredmiranda.com helpful and lots of threads here.

<p>Yes, I would. Looks like you got a deal at Adorama, canonusa.com wants $919 for a refurb 24-105, on top of that they collect tax which would be another 9% for me. I trust Adorama and B&H, I have a sense they have a joint company picnic in the summer, prices usually identical.</p>
