Hi Paul, could I suggest the 300 F4L IS. I love the sharpness of this lens when hand held, even with the 1.4 extender.

Hi, Am travelling from Australia in 2 weeks. Could anyone recommend a camera

store in San Francisco for buying eos lens, preferably with website.

Thanks

Terry

Could anyone advise if there are any reviews or sample pictures from this lens.

I havn't been able to find any, but perhaps someone else has seen something.

Thanks

I have a Hahnemeuhle digital folio album and wish to print on both sides of

paper. I imagine that with the offset for the screws I would increase the canvas

size on the left hand side for the first print and then turn the paper over and

for the next print increase the canvas size to the right. I am using 2400

printer. Is this correct. Thanks for any info

I agree with Jeff. Jeremy is very helpful. The charge is about $75 a profile.

Hi, my niece has a problem opening 16 bit files in CS. When opened

they just show a range of random colored pixels. There is no

resemblence of a photo. 8 bit is ok but 16bit rubbish. Using CS Raw in

16 bit is ok. Has anyone any ideas?

Thanks

Colin, Yes. I wrap the cartridge I remove in Gladrap(thin plastic film) so as to keep the air from it. I have done this quite a few times with no problems. Check users guide for more info.

Terry

Hi, has anyone used a Sony HS95PS monitor? If so, could you advise re

performance for photo editing.

Thanks

Terry

Hi, perhaps someone can help me with the following. I print on a 2400

with K3 standard inks on Hahnemuhle photo Rag. For my personal use I

hate prints framed behind glass because of the reflections. I have

some prints framed as per normal except I put the glass behind the

print to get it out of the picture. In other words the actual print is

open to the atmosphere. Should I use one of the print shield sprays I

read about. If so, do these have any effect on colours etc.

Thanks

Terry

Mine arrived in Australia this week from Adorama. Initially they said it was on backorder, but it arrived one week from initial order.

Thank you all for your responses. I will work through them and see how I go.

Hello All, I am trying to print a panorama made by stitching 7

overlapping photos and the final size is 8" wide by 70" long. When I

go to the print with preview box and set everything up, using the roll

paper option, the preview print comes up showing only half the print.

I have tried this numerous times. Do you think it could be a lack of

memory? I have 1gig. I am using a 1270. the final file size is 160meg.

Any help much appreciated.

Terry

Thanks Nick, will try

Hi, I wonder if anyone has had any luck using the LS30 With XP SP2.

Mine was working ok a couple of weeks ago and now has just stopped. I

reinstalled 3.1.2 and windows says it has found new hardware but I

cannot get any files loaded to suit. I have the latest Aspi layer. Any

help would be appreciated.

Terry

Andy, I have used a 1270 since they first came out. I have had no problems except when I didn't use it for a long period and the black ink nozzle blocked and could not be cleaned. I had to have a new print nozzle fitted. I suggest that you try a series of nozzle checks one after the other and see if there is any difference in each. If there is, and nozzle cleaning won't fix this I would be back to Epson like a shot for a new printer. Terry

I have a 1270 and didn't use it for about 4 weeks. Could not clean nozzle, dealer could not clean nozzle, cost me over $A400 to fit new head. I now just make sure I at least do a nozzle check every few days as I imagine this pushes ink through all nozzles.

Thanks for the info, will try both.

Terry

Hi, I wonder if anyone can advise me of a technique that makes it

easy to get an equal white border, say about 5-10mm around A4 and A3

prints on a 1270. Even when I change horizontal and vertical

dimensions I still cannot get equal all round. Thanks

Terry

I bought a 70-200 F4L from Adorama and included in the package to Oz was a warranty card entitled "Canon International Warranty". I think you get this if you buy the "USA" and not the "Grey" market. The difference in price was only about $10.

Thanks, I will keep looking. I'd prefer to go Canon, but who knows?

Thanks, I would love to go Canon if I could find on at the right price.

Regards

Terry

Hi, could anyone who has used the above combination let me know what

they think. I have been offered the Kenko and as the Canon t/c is so

expensive in Oz I thought if it was pretty good I'd give it a go on

my 300D. Thanks, Terry

I have a Nikon LS30 (old Tech now) and have scanned many slides and negatives over the last few years. Recently I bought a 300D with the kit lens and also a 50mm 1.8 and the 70-200L zoom. I could not be happier than I am now with the digital Canon. The LS30 will only scan at 2700 but when you blow up to A4 the noise is obvious. I know we can put these images through software that will fix this, but after the time taken to scan, post process and then use noise reduction software on one image I could think of nothing worse than doing this for every image on film. I have no problems whatever with noise on the 300D and colours are good. I shoot in raw and you can batch process these while you are doing something else.

Thanks for all your help. I'll try handholding first and see how I go. Terry
