Thang: Thanks for helping to justify my P&S impulses.

 

David: You make a good point. I certainly am restricted by the autofocus, autoexposure, 35mm/2.8, particulars of the camera. I don't get the same shots I do with my N-80 and variety of primes and zooms. That may be the biggest reason of all for me--create magic within the parameters of such a simple, limiting tool.

While I almost always want the ability to set every control on my

SLR, sometimes I like the freedom of loading my Epic with 400 speed

film and shooting away. Does anyone else choose a P&S over their much

more versatile SLR system to just let go and have fun? Sure, I miss

having different perspectives--but I never (well almost nrver) miss a

shot. Please chime in.

Hello All,

 

I sent a check to Photo.net shortly after registering (late June). I

still don't see a patron status symbol. Did I send the check to the

wrong place? Does it typically take a month or more to process snail

mail requests? What should I do next? I'm excited about becoming a

patron and having the elevated capabilities.

 

Thanks for your help,

Rick

I have the APO version as well. It is not bad for the money. Hood is included in the price.

Use a 50mm and 3200 speed film. You should be able to handhold wide open. What focal lengths were you planning on using?

I want to use an as-15 with a sync cord attached to a Sunpak 383 with

umbrella for off-camera portrait work. The instructions with the

adapter recommend Nikon speedlights only. While I understand that

this is an effort by Nikon to use their products, I want to make sure

there isn't a good reason why I shouldn't use the aftermarket

speedlight. Will I fry my N-80?

 

Thanks,

Rick

Another vote for Light Impressions.

My vote is for the F80 and the 50, or the 28-105 if you must have a zoom. While the images from the 28-80 are not bad, the build quality and feel of the lens are not so great. My 50/1.4 was practically married to my N80 for quite some time.
