<p>Here is a straight scan of a 45 year old Ektachrome slide using my old Epson 3170 scanner.</p><div>

<p>Arlington Camera on Randol Mill. Their prices are competitive with CVS for film developing. Just Google Arlington Camera and you can get the map. Welcome to the Metroplex.</p>

<p>I had a FE with a similar problem. When the shutter release was pressed the mirror would release but the shutter didn't fire. However, it worked fine using a motor drive. I sprayed some electronic contact cleaner spray around the shutter button and worked it a few times (uncocked) and lo and behold it worked fine from then on.</p>

<p>They started to go out of favor when Victor Keppler coined the phrase "Never ready case". I didn't see any photographers in Viet Nam using the cases either (nor any pictures of any other journalists in the 70's using them). However, I have a biography of Robert Capa and on the back of the dust cover is a photo of Capa and, if I remember correctly, David Seymour, in Indo China shortly before Capa's death, Both of them have their cameras in the leather cases, with the front flap hanging down (the ready position).</p>

<p>How can one copyright the reproduction (photograph, in this case) of anothers art work?</p>

<p>Kelly, you didn't understand my post. You don't have to show sales tax as a separate item on an invoice. You do have to calculate the sales tax and remit it to the state taxing authority. It is, of course, much easier bookkeeping for most businesses to show the sales tax as a separate item. Its all in the bookkeeping.</p>

<p>You don't have to "Charge" sales tax, you have to pay sales tax. Many service businesses, eg, architects, engineers, etc. located in states where sevices are taxed don't add sales tax to their fees. They basically include the tax in their fees and calculate the tax and remit to the state as required. For instance, if the tax rate is 6% the you divide the fee by 1.06 to determine the "revenue" and subtract that from the total fee to determine the tax.</p>

<p>I think the 1% figure is way high for both "photo takers" and film users. There just aren't that many people using rangefinders when you consider the "photo taker" universe as a whole.</p>

<p>47 Nikkors, 10 third party, 17 bodies (all film).</p>

Rachel, if I am reading this correctly, these are claims against clients who are not ordering prints after you have done the session. If this is the case, then you don't have a claim for an unpaid debt to you. Rather this would be a contract dispute, which can only be settled in court.

<p>They need your Tax ID in order to issue a 1099 at the end of the year. The tax ID in your case is your Social Security number. Give them your SS# and you get your money.</p>

<p>Robert, if Sarah had left out the part about renting the lighting and just said "I plan to charge each person $75, would you have questioned her about the amount? It seems to me you are nit picking the fact that she is renting some equipment necessary to do a job. Pro's rent equiment all the time. That's why the rental companies are in business. Lighten up.</p>

<p>You are receiving $500 for providing a service. Your gross income for this is $500 whether you provide a receipt or not. A canceled check does not provide proof of an allowable business expense when made out to an individual person, thus a receipt or an invoice is needed.<br>
BTW, the minimum amount for required 1099 filing is $600, not $650. The $500 is reportable income whether you receive a 1099 or not. The comment "if it's only $500, don't worry about it" is bad advice.</p>

<p>Change the Lithium battery for Silver Oxide. The camera will not operate correctly with lithiums.</p>

If you are operating as a sole proprietor, it makes no difference how you pay for it. The payment should be recorded as an increase in owner's equity. If you want to "pay yourself back", it is an owner's draw (for recording purposes); it has no effect on profit/loss or taxation. On the other hand, if your business is a Corp. or LLC, then you need to record the payment as a loan and pay yourself back (with interest) over whatever period you feel is reasonable. The best way to handle either scenerio is to deposit the funds into your business account and make the purchase from that account. This is especially true if your business is other than a sole propietorship in order to maintain the appearance of an"arms length transaction".

<p>The F3HP can use AIS lenses. The only lenses that the F3 can't use are the AF lenses without an aperture ring; the FM2 can't use these either. The only lenses that can be used on the F3 and not the FM2 are the pre AI lenses.</p>

I have an E-410. I tried it in a light wind breaker without a lens, I don't have the lens you asked about, and yes, it is "pocketable" but not very comfortable. I wouldn't want to carry it around in that jacket. I have jackets with larger pockets that would be better to carry it in. So, it depends on how big the pockets are in your jacket as to how feasible it is to carry the 420 that way.

<p>Way back when (1968), we used Ektacolor S, ASA 100. This was C-22 process. Then, we had Vericolor S and then Vericolor II S, ISO 125 which was C-41 process. Thats the way it was in the "real old" film days. I stopped doing weddings in the late 70's.</p>

Steve, my English professor way back when I was in college made a similar remark to me as she put a big red "X" through "could" and wrote "couldn"t" in red above it. I haven't made that mistake since.

<p>From the book "Magnum" by Russell Miller. "Time" correspondent John Mecklin, who was traveling with Capa, states that they were stopped "at a point one kilometer past Doai Than and three kilometers short of the final objective, Thanh Ne". It was during this battle than Capa stepped on the mine.</p>

<p>I purchased a Bronica "C" at a camera show. It does not have the 120/220 lever or indicators on the body. There are three circular cut outs in the leatherette where these would be. My first thought was that the lever was missing, but the body is solid where the cut outs are. Everything I have found on the 'net states that the "C" took both 120 and 220 film and that it had the lever to switch between the two. I am wondering if Bronica made some C's (maybe early ones) that took 120 film only or if this is some kind of later modification.</p>

Joseph had every right to take photographs of the accident. On the other hand, the volunteers had every right to ask Joseph not to take photographs. When Joseph asserted his rights, they in turn asserted their right to free assembly in such a way as to block Joseph's ability to take those photographs. As I understand from the posts, there was never any physical restraint of Joseph, therefore what they did was perfectly legal and within their rights. Just because Joseph had the right to take photographs does not mean that people have to get out of his way and allow him free access to take said photographs.
