<p>Hi all,<br /> I've been looking for a replacement parts for a Rolleicord Vb Does anyone know of a source (of new/like-new) for these other than the auction site?<br /> Thank you</p>

<p>Thanks Ellis</p>

<p>Thanks Ellis,<br>

I'm a little curious if a non-standard cable is required in the case of the Flex TT5. I'm saying this because when doing a search for Pocketwizard PC1N on B&H for example, I believe the cable that appears meets the specs you detail - however it specifically states it is not compatible with the MiniTT1 and FlexTT5. When doing a search for the PC5N (5ft vs 1ft), I've learned that this cord IS compatible with the FlexTT5 - both cables have the same end plugs, though only one is compatible. What's the deal?<br>

Thanks again for your help - at this point I'll get the PC5N, though it is a little long for my needs but thats probably fine.</p>

<p>I'd like to know how to connect a Rolleicord Vb to a flex tt5 so I can use it as a trigger for my strobes. I just got the Rolleicord and I don't know anything about sync cables.<br>

It looks like a 3.5mm type connector would be needed for the flex tt5 side (I assume I plug into the P1 Camera socket) - on the rolleicord side I'd assume its some kind of classic old standard sync slot - I just can't find the cable over on B&H or similar...<br>

Any help is appreciated...thanks.</p>

<p>Worked like a charm - thanks Rod!</p>

<p>Hello,<br>

How do I adjust the tension on an Arca Swiss Flip lock? It looks like the silver screw in the base would be used, however I can't turn it. I've also tried pulling the lever (as though I'm unlocking it) while turning the screw, but this also didn't allow me to turn the screw. Any ideas?<br>

Thanks!</p>

<p>I'm asking here</p>

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I would like to know if there are any issues with putting the same photo(s) up on both Alamy and Photoshelter. thank you</p>

<p>Yay! Someone else who doesn't like lugging around kgs upon kgs of gear!</p>

<p>I agree that in some ways (not all) Nikon is further down this road (though I'm confident in Canon coming out with a D3x killer...(unfortunately, I dont think Canon is putting enough effort into the XXD vs DXXX fight). But what is impressive is that not too long ago (5 years?) Nikon was publically stating they would never release a full-frame body, how quickly things can change. Which is why, those these things might seem like "aimless wishes" the market is what decides. I'm confident that more and more professionals will demand lighter, smaller bodies.</p>

<p>I dont' think asking for a body that would make my work easier, and more enjoyable a wish without aim. (that is the aim...)<br>

Did ECF ever lose its faults? Was there a camera after the 7e that had it? I would definitly take ECF if they made it work well enough to rely on (for a professional) but they can't get normal AF working reliably on their pro bodies...I think it will need to wait a while longer</p>

<p>yeah, I figured which is why I haven't been holding my breath. it's unfortunate that one needs to spend $10,000+ for a system even close to this - leica (though it would lack many of the features I like from Canon)</p>

<p>I'm surprised to hear from you Bob that you equate physically large bodies and lenses to be Canon's defining feature...expecting a small pro body is like wishing Ferarri would make a four-door sedan? What is Canon's general philosphy regarding the direction of the EOS system (as it relates to this post)? Eventually, as crop-body users do go full-frame, I see a 24-50 being a perfect replacement for the 17-40.</p>

<p>hey all,<br /> It's been quite a while since I posted to this forum. How's everybody doin?<br /> I'm wondering if anyone is looking for the same thing that I am in the Canon community...<br /> First, my gripe is with the size of Canon pro bodies (including the XD series). I know I'm not going to appeal to everyone with this one, but what I would like is a pro body (weather sealed, magnesium alloy, flashless, high fps, 1/350 or 1/500 flash-sync, etc, etc) in the size of the XXXD. I know that this would mean it would have to be a cropped sensor (and therefore to some might mean it isn't "pro", but I disagree). To me a cropped sensor does not mean it can't have good IQ (those of you who have also used the Leica M8 - used, not just looked at DxOs website) would agree with me. Of course the smaller sensor would also mean tiny viewfinder, which I am ok with...this body couldn't replace my 5DII, it would be the perfect company. I would spend close to $2000 for this.<br /> For other wishes, who else would want a 24-50mm f/4 L? I want a compact (hence the f4) wide to mid zoom, that doesn't extend while zooming, made to L quality levels.<br /> How about some slower L glass? A 28 f2L? 35 f2L? 85 f2L? Does anyone else want L build and optical quality but doesn't need it to be so fast? though I love my 35 1.4L, I'm sure one can make an f2 which is on par with the 1.4 at equal apertures at half the size.<br /> that's it...sorry if posts like this bug forum members, I realize it is somewhat juvenile...I just wanted to get it out of my head...</p>

Is the EOS Viewer Utility available for free download?

Hello, is it possible to limit the shots in a burst to a certain number of

frames? For example, if I wanted the camera to stop shooting after 5 frames

(camera is set to Continuous Hi) can I set this in camera?

 

Thanks

That is awesome.

So the aperture in the viewfinder will change as you move the aperture ring on an AI/AIS lens?

Hello,

 

When using a non cpu lens on a D200 or D300, and have entered both the max

aperture and focal length in the lens data...I've read that it shows the

aperture in the viewfinder. Is this only the max aperture, or will it also

indicate the aperture if the lens is stopped down? (For example, if the 50mm

1.4 AIS was stopped down to f4, would f4 show in the viewfinder?) Thanks

How much of a difference is there in the DOF between these two lenses on a D200

or the like? Is the f1.2 AIS noticeably shallower?

 

Thank you very much

ok, i'm an id$%ot...should read things twice...my mistake!

 

Thanks again Shun...

 

btw...did you ever keep ur F717? I still look at my shots from that camera and am amazed

Hi Shun, thanks for the reply. I did actually see that, but on this Nikon USA page, it makes no mention of 8AAs giving higher frame rates:

 

http://www.nikonusa.com/template.php?cat=1&grp=258&productNr=25359

Shun (or anyone), could you please link where it states that 8fps can be achieved with 8 AAs? From what I've gathered, it looks as though the 8fps is only with the EN-EL4a (it seems a bit vague as to if the AAs are capable).

 

Thanks again

Hi all,

 

I'm most likely going to get the D300 with MB-D10, and therefore will need to

charge both EN-EL4a and EN-EL3e batteries. Is there one charger that can charge

both of these batteries? Looking at B&H, the Impact charger doesn't seem to

charge both of these batteries...can you recommend another? I really don't want

to have to carry around two chargers.

 

Thanks!

Hi all,

 

In your opinion, what 5D ISO has equivalent noise to that found on the 350D at

ISO 100?

 

Thanks!

Thanks Charles...this is something I've been hoping Canon would do, didn't know Nikon was already doing it in their bodies. How many speedlights can you control? Is its operation/capability the exact same as that of the Speedlight Commander?

Hi all,

 

 

Is it true that one can use an SB-800 off-camera without an off-camera cord on a

D300 (the D300 can act as a speedlight commander)?
