  1. I've tried it on a EOS film camera. Since I manually focus 98% of the time, to prevent damaging the mirror on the film body, after the modification to the lens I set the lens flush on a table, adjusted the lens until it "bottomed out" onto the table, and etched and colored in red the mark to let me know the "safe" limit for the film body. BTW it's about 21mm for those that are interested. But another thing to remember is the smaller glass for the 1.6x factor.
  2. You'd think they'd want to put a little magnification to it. But heck, let's not get to thinking logic here. Logic might interupt the balance of forces, and next thing you know cats and dogs 'd be sleeping together, squirrels and and octopi would be having kids...etc., etc.
  3. My brother-in-law and I operated an LLC a few years back, between the legalities of business setup and the simple insurance we purchased our tails were very well covered. Listen to the CPA, they really are quite good at their jobs if they have any decent clientel base. Most reputable CPAs' really do have your best interest in mind, after all...if they want to keep your business coming back they have to do their jobs right.
  4. You could always try asking for DL number and show them that it is all the information besides their name you will be taking down. In the unlikely event that the painted scenario ever hapens, they won't want to be caught with a false ID, since that would put their tails in a vice at that point. So many circles of thought to decide....
  5. Well, I just checked out Costco online. They have great deals on the three-packs, but no singles. This is a problem for me since there aren't many Costcos' in Florida, and they are all in the large cities. The closest one to me is a three hour drive away, which throws ANY savings out the window. And to order online (the three-packs) would cost me $208 USD plus S&H, again....not a very attractive offer.
  6. I just ordered the Epson RX500 since my way outdated (and crappy

    Lexmark P-122 Photo) printer sucks for printing photos above 3X5.

     

    What I'd like to know, if anyone has personally used one or seen one

    in action, is what kind of print quality does this printer provide.

    What papers would you recommend for archival purposes (although not a

    dye system), and prints for others. Any thoughts\advice on good

    quality papers is appreciated. I'm desperately trying to avoid that

    horrible green tint (no matter what I try, ink settings, paper, etc.)

    I get from what I have now. And the lines....don't get me going on

    that one.

     

    I'm not expecting miracles. I figure just about any newer printer with

    individual cartridges has got to be better than what I had. Thanks in

    advance.
