It's pricy but might give you ideas.

 

There's also a blog that explores adaptive equipment for Photographers.

Hope this helps.

<p>I've been looking for a camera bag for my brother's Lumix LX3, and am always on the lookout for the perfect bag(s) for my equipment.<br>

It amazes me how often even a manufacturer's site doesn't tell you what the measurements of the bag are. Sometimes they tell you what the outside measurements are. That IS good to know but I want to put something of a certain size iN the bag. <br>

Defining a bag as a compact or a point and point camera bag/case doesn't really help. Point and Shoots come in lots of different sizes. So do DSLRs, calling something a DSLR bag is not useful, I guess that means I can't even think about putting my Nikon F in it.<br>

Often a company will make a special case for a specific camera. If you put the camera size on the bag package you might sell more bags because I might buy your bag because it fits my camera. If only I knew what size camera it fits.<br>

Please, put the measurements of the bag on your website and on the package. </p>

<p>Now if only I could figure out how big a Lumix LX3 is with the tube adapter and a filter on it.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>I don't know if this is big enough and it is boxy, but at least it's a long slim box at 11.75" x 6.5" x 3.75" with 2 dividers.<br>

<p>You can download a manual here....<br>

The mir.com posted above has lots of info too.</p>

<p>I love wheel charts. I still use the equivalent exposure wheel from the back of my Intro to Photography book. I have some old Kodak Master Photoguides , the early ones (at least 1968 and before) are filled with wheel charts, tables and even a page of sample B&W contrast filters. Too bad alot of data is for extinct films and/or flash bulbs.<br>

I use ixquick.com for searches.</p>

<p>Op-Tech makes one...<br>

<p>If you hold the bracket with your right hand, the d700 shutter button will be on the top when shooting vertically.<br>

I usually mount the bracket on a tripod, especially if using the softbox. it has a screw hole on the bottom for that. You could also use a cable or a wireless release.</p>

<p>I bought a Alzo Flip Flash Bracket that works great with the d700, comes with it's own quick release. I got it in the softbox kit. I really love it! If you use it with a SB-900 it says you'll need a shoe mount adapter. They also sell on eBay.<br>

I love that!</p>

<p>I like to do online orders from Freestyle Photographic Supplies. Large selection of 35mm & 120 film and the only place I know of that has Rodinal.<br>

I notice that they have 120 TMAX 400, the new one here...</p>

<p>I have 2 Quantum Turbo 2s that I got on eBay. They work great. I use them off camera with some old Metz 45CT-1s.<br>

I was at WPPI a few days ago and asked at the Quantum booth if ther was any danger of them exploding or something. They said no and that if they stop taking a charge to send them in and they'll fix them.</p>

Great shots! I always look forward to your panoramas.

 

I've been looking at bicycles lately, as someone stole my old beater off my back porch (and hauled it over a locked six foot block wall). But it's going to be a hot summer here in Nevada and I'm not sure I'm up to much pedaling in 100+ degrees. I miss summers in Alaska and Anchorage's bike paths.

Nice shot! I love the handy dandy depth of field table.

The MySpace page in question mercifully locked up my browser and I gave up.

Can't help with your project, but I think that's brilliant, I see old walkers in the second hand store all the time. Velcro tabs would probably work well to attach the fabric to the frame and the fabric would be easy to remove for storage and cleaning.

 

If you want to make reflectors too, I got a Coleman Emergency Blanket for $2.19 at Target yesterday. It's 53 x 82.5 inches of aluminized polyethylene. Auto windshield sunscreens work great also.

I have a weakness for selenium meters, it just amazes me that they didn't need batteries - it's like magic. I have a Kodak Retina Reflex IV camera that the selenium meter is still right on.

Special find. I've unearthed quite a few old negatives of my family as well, and there's nothing like watching ghosts from the past appear in the developer!

 

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to clean glass slides.

Of course I forgot to include the link to the Kodak flash website...

I can't help you with parts but if you can't find any you might think about converting it to a strobe. Or is that heresy?

 

I have a similar old Nikon flash and have been thinking about finding someone to convert it.

 

Here's a website that converts old Kodak flashes. I haven't contacted them yet but if you can do it with a Kodak it should be possible to find someone to convert other brands. My guess would be the major problem would be the space available to stash the power source. But really I have no clue.

 

There used to be a seller on eBay that sold reprints of an old magazine article that showed you how to do this yourself, but I didn't keep track of the name and I don't see it listed now.

Yes, I realize that I'm being obsessive and it'll probably be fine without one. But I'm trying to figure out the best way to make camera and lens bags and the Metz is such an odd shape that it's a challenge. I was thinking of trying something like the neoprene wrap-around Zing camera cases.

I want to make a case or a wrap for a Metz 45 CT-4 flashgun and am looking for

ideas on how to make something that will prevent the movable head from getting

snapped off. It's kind of an odd shape, if I just make a bag it seems to leave

the head free to move around.

 

Anyone have a good flashgun case that you could take a quick picture of for me?

I've tried to find a picture online but no luck.

 

I have neoprene and lots of velcro that I'd like to use but I also have yoga

mats, closed cell foam, denim. Sometimes it comes in handy to be a fabric hoarder.

 

Anyone have any bright ideas? I'm fresh out.

There's those forlorn chairs again - 3 of them if you count the bench. Really beautiful stone wall.
