My estimate form is three pages long, it specifies who pays for what and how it ( the photographic product ) may be used. When signed and accepted by the client it becomes a contract - and it can be enforced in a court if necessary. IMHO not getting things specified in writing before you pick up a camera is just asking for trouble. It would be a wonderful world if everyone did what is right - unfortunately - they don't. By all means go without one - just don't complain if you don't get what you deserve in terms of compensation or recognition.

Question:when you state on your web "...archival quality DVD�s that

so far have proven to last for up to 300 years." would you please clarify that statement?

I'd be happy to take it off your hands for postage!

True - HOWEVER - the auto exposure function still works. Tamron said they can convert my 300 2.8 to be fully functional with the digital Nikon for about $150.00. The lens cost me less than $700.00 on e-Bay, and with the conversion still far less than the $5100.00 asking price. IMHO - go for it!

I have heard ( from only ONE person ) in a very casual conversation

that Merle Deardorff is back in Illinois - ready to make cameras

again, and they will NOT be called Deardorff. Has anyone else heard

this?

Got that - fella - now tell us how you REALLY feel. Grow up, go to the hardware store and get over yourself.

It's not just you Danny, photography is more than 'just getting an image'.

Trish,

There are some pretty amazing older lenses out there that will fit digital bodies. They may not be autofocus, probably will not meter well with your setup, won't be easy to use with fill-flash, or any of the myriad things that make many very expensive digital cameras easy to use. I've been told that my 28mm shift lens would not work on my Nikon D100 or Kodak 14N - neither would my Celestron C90. The 300mm f2.8 manual focus lens from Russia was another 'doorstop' according to local experts, and even according to the respective owners manuals. Enjoy, experiment, go digital and keep your old lenses!

You could also Google Robert Mapplethorpe - his work is very edgy and brilliantly done.
