  1. Click on My Account, scroll to the bottom. Everything you asked about is there - at least it is in what I see. Make the various changes and save.

    No, at the bottom of the page is my email address, along with URL, etc.. It does not show the email address to which kendavies@photo.net messages are forwarded (as it used to). I have tried sending messages to kendavies@photo.net and they are not forwarded to the email address listed at the bottom of the My Account page. They are returned as undeliverable. How do I return to the forwarding? Without it, I am unable to access sites that I have paid subscriptions to.

  2. I need to receive emails forwarded from kendavies@photo.net urgently, including an important password reset email, as I am in the Catch-22 bind of not being able to change the email address to which password reset emails are sent until I can reset my password to gain access to the relevant websites. I can't find the forwarding email setting anywhere under My Account, My Profile, or anywhere else on Photo.net. Where is it?
  3. My email is also not being forwarded to the registered email address and I can no longer find anywhere on Photo.net where I can check that this function is still operating. This is now a serious problem as I need to reset a password on a photo site that only has my photo.net email address, so it seems to be sending the reset email into a void. Help!
  4. The symbol with the small bulb usually indicates the flash bulb setting. There is usually also a setting for electronic flash, marked by a zigzag lightning symbol. This should be inbetween the bulb setting and the self timer on position. Once you have solved the synchronisation problem it should be OK to use your Metz. Flashbulbs are single use. They are no longer manufactured but can be picked up quite cheaply on ebay. If you buy a used Rolleiflash 2 unit, you may be able to buy bulbs with it. For use with colour film, choose blue "daylight" bulbs.
  5. Reasons for preferring traditional optical rangefinders:

    1 - They measure nearer distances.

    2 - They cost a few dollars/euros/pounds on eBay, not a hundred or two.

    3 - You can select the object in the finder without having to project a red dot on it, which, as mentioned above, can be frightening, and might render you suspect.

    4 - If you're photographing a person, you probably want to focus on the eyes, and you probably don't want to take the slightest risk of damaging anyone's sight with a laser beam.

    5 - An optical rangefinder is tiny, so it doesn't intimidate the subject.

    6 - Many rangefinders can be fitted directly on to the camera's hot shoe.
