  1. <p>Well I wish that they would accept 48mb tif's or above and make the whole process easier. This upresing and then trying to make a 48mb jpg is ridiculous. I just bought a Epson V700 and I can make some great images. By the time it becomes a big jpg it is 1/5th the quality..<br>

    If someone has been successful can you share with us how 'exactly' you are preparing them.. thanks</p>

  2. I have a D100 right now and if I add a D200 or a D300 later will the batteries all match inside the grips.. etc Any

    compatibility issues. Is this a good way to upgrade by adding camera bodies this way - I know I don't want a d80 or

    something that does not accept Compact Flash.

     

    thanks in advance..

  3. I just bought a D100 last night and will get the D200 as well.. - I would not buy the D80 - correct me if I am wrong but I do not believe that the D80 accepts compact flash and since I have a few cards around.. I would only buy cameras that accept CF. Keep it in mind when you buy something is the storage media going to be compatible in the future. Fuji's XD did not go very far.
  4. Well I had a MZ2 which is not that different and used it on my D30 and D60 and had no problems. I cannot tell you which adapter I had underneath but I can share with you something that I did find odd - but great. I used the dedicated adapter and always got excellent exposures. In fact I am looking to buy one right now for my Nikon D100. Anyway - what I find surprising is that when I used the Flash on it's own auto mode and standard adapter instead of the dedicated adapter and TTL I could never tell a difference in the two images. We did extensive testing on this in the studio and at events. So.. that means to me that it was so accurate using it's own sensor and standard adapter that I put that flash on top my Bronica ETRSi, my dinky Minolta 110 Zoom SLR (rare) and other camera we had at the studio. Exposures were always great. I shot with that D60 and that Metz for years.. I wish I never sold it. My point is that maybe all this d-ttl and all this other ttl might be overrated when the combo I had worked for years.

     

    Now if you are looking for wireless ttl and such - that is different and agree that the later dedicated flashes are better (I have used them too)

  5. Thanks guys.. looks like a job for the notary or lawyer - and maybe a bit difficult as he may not becoming out of the

    hospital. Any images that do not have a release will not be used in a stock photo agency anyway. Many of his shots are in

    China and impossible to get a release from a 'peasant' there - so they maybe an issue as well, I live in Canada so the

    rights prob won't be too diff from the usa.

  6. *6 When the Canon Speedlite 480EG is used for automatic flash photography, increase the normal aperture setting by 2/3 stop or decrease the 480EG�s ISO setting by 2/3 EV (open up) to compensate for the reduced amount of light reaching the film due to the pellicle mirror.

     

    *8 When using a handheld exposure meter to set the exposure manually, set an exposure compensation of +2/3 EV or set the handheld meter�s ISO setting to 2/3 EV less than the normal ISO. This is to compensate for the reduced amount of light reaching the film due to the pellicle mirror.

  7. I'm just wondering if someone can help me. I am setting up a stock

    photo library and need help in creating the site. Since it is a

    database driven site I need to know if anyone has done this. Please

    contact me. ( I have approx five photographers wanting to

    participate - online images - as well )

  8. I am curious to know what flashes people use on the Etrs with the

    Speedgrip E. I am not interested in TTL. I am not interested in

    using a Stroboframe.. just a flash on the grip. Any suggestions?

    (looked at other posts about the 283 but unsure if it has it's own

    sensor to shut off the flash like a Metz 40)
