Hi,

I will be traveling to Boston early next year & was wondering if there

were any camera shops that anyone would recommend visiting ?

-thanks

I am considering a DSLR & was looking for some input in regards

Nikon's line as to what would be the digital equivalent (or better) of

the F100 ? Any rumours regarding what could be in the pipeline from Nikon?

-thanks

I'm waiting for my film to come back but I'm curious about what others

think. For outdoor shots (late afternoon) & using my F100 & SB50DX, I

take a meter reading w/my sekonic & let's say that I get a reading of

60/5.6 for ambient light. I put my camera into manual mode (60/5.6)&

set the flash to Automatic Balanced Fill-Flash with TTL Multi-Sensor.

I drop it -1/3 or -2/3 stop & I'm shooting Portra 160NC, what kind of

results can I expect from this style ?

-many thanks

Well I'm going to pick it up today. I do however have auto rewind enabled so it will rewind the film once it reaches the end. I'm not going to sweat it too much as I have 4 more rolls to drop off & we'll see what happens w/that. Thanks for the input & replies.

Hi,

I recently decided to try a few rolls of Kodak Portra film so I picked

up 5 rolls of 160NC & 5 rolls of 400NC for my F100. I shot 2 rolls of

the 160NC first & then 1 of the 400, I sent them out to my local

ProLab for processing. They sent me an email & told me that the 2

rolls of 160 were completely blank but the 400 came out fine. He also

told me that the edge numbers were there & he really had no ideas as

to what the problem might have been, is it possible that the film is

bad ? I'm worried about the rest of it, as some of it has already been

shot but not yet processed. If the film is bad what should I do ?

True. But what I was thinking was: if I already have film in the camera how can I keep it from advancing, if it can't be done . . . oh well.

-thanks

Hi,

I'm trying to find out how to prevent my F100 from advancing film. I

want to do some flash/light metering but I don't want to burn thru

film just to get my flash dialed in. Suggestions ?

-thanks

Hi,

I havea camera body that I want to put up for long term storage and

this is what I am considering. I own a Tilia Foodsaver (vacuum sealer)

and what I was thinking is that I would seal the body w/a body cap &

w/a couple of silica gel packets in a sealed airtight bag. Any thoughts ??

-thanks
