  1. Having just purchased my first DSLR (Canon 50D) and having made the leap from an EOS3...is there any meaningful

    difference between the "memory cards"? I ordered an "Extreme IV" (4G) as an interim measure, however when I add an

    additional 8 or 16G card which ones are preferred?

     

    Thanks---and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

  2. O.K.---A Baldamatic 1 "fell" into my posession, 45/2.8 Baldanar lens (I assume

    this is some kind of "Planar" configuration), Prontor SLK shutter mechanism, on

    the lens: "Balda Werke Bunde"--on the camera base, serial #109912. (enough of

    that stuff...) My question: Since this camera appears to be in fine to really

    great shape, what quality image is is capable of? Should I try to track down a

    manual, (a little help here..), and make it a "user"--or merely keep it by the

    IkoFlex as being too counter-intuitive to fool with? Any information, good/

    bad/indifferent? would be appreciated...

  3. Most of the Ikoflex's I've seen (mine included) are nearly mint condition because , unless you shoot with it regularly--you're going to go nuts trying to remember how to work it....they get "shelved" after a while. I need to re-educate myself everytime I pull down the Ikoflex....and it's not particularly intuitive in it's operation(s).
  4. Is there anyway you could "archive" your "found film" photos--in the

    presentations (as you displayed them)? I feel this has turned into an

    important "body of work" and needs to be preserved--somehow.

     

    I always look forward to your latest "finds".

  5. After lugging 2 Pelican cases full of gear and 2 tripods onto the houseboat, (at Lake Powell), getting 15 miles uplake, I discover, "NO FILM"! (of course no digital either....)

     

    It was however, a very relaxing trip--not having to worry about taking ANY pictures whatsoever....

  6. I was (and still do) shoot an EOS-3 with a good selection of dedicated lenses..however, I wanted to move into "medium format" and after having spent a "mint" on Canon glass, I really couldn't afford a Hasselblad outfit...so I bought a Yashicamat, then an Ikoflex, then an old Rolleiflex (c.1946), then another older Rolleiflex (c. 1936)and finally a Fujica G690BL....now I don't even WANT a Hasselblad....(and mysteriously, Cannonet QL-17's and Ansco Shur-Flashes (6X9's)and Cannon A-1's have also "turned up" beside them...)
