Carry-on rules depend on which airline you're flying<P>

By Jane Engle Los Angeles Times<P>

Sample from article:<P>

I encountered this regulatory turbulence while trying to track down a

revision to carry-on rules that the TSA quietly posted on its Web

site, www.tsa.gov, Nov. 19, a week before the Thanksgiving travel

crush. The rule said:<P>

"You may carry one (1) bag of photographic equipment in addition to

one (1) carry-on and one (1) personal item through the screening

checkpoint. The additional bag must conform to your air carrier's

carry-on restrictions for size and weight."<P>

A few days later, the rule acquired this warning: "Air carriers may or

may not allow the additional carry-on item on their aircraft." <P>

What has your experience been when traveling with photo equipment?<P>

Is the SB-28 flash fully compatable with the D100 camera?

What can't be done with this combination and why?

Thanks!

This might be a handy link for someone...<P>

>(They COULD have designed it to use little teensy interchangeable lenses up close to the sensor, rather than 35mm lenses, but then people with a lot of Nikon lenses couldn't use them).

Thank-you for explaining this. So Nikon made both routes available - point and shoots with mini-lenses and SLR's that use Nikkor lenses but with a catch or two.

Why not use a 35mm sensor? It is a price issue?

You can try asking the folks at Helix in Chicago. Sounds like an email question to me.<P>

Any chance that anyone out there is manufacturing lenses for the

D100, etc. that doesn't have that 1.5 x zoom effect?<P>

I want a 28mm lens that acts like a 28mm lens.<P> Is that too much

to ask? <P>

I have yet another "series E" question.

What lenses work with the Nikon EM camera? My brother has one and I

was thinking of giving him some of my old Nikon mount vivitar lenses

for Christmas. (a 135mm and a 200mm if memory serves) I'm

guessing that they're AI lenses but it is possible that they're non-

AI. (I'll need to check.) Will AI or non-AI lenses work with a

Nikon EM?

I'm also looking for a cheap flash unit for that Nikon EM. Any

suggestions?

Thanks!

Have you ever purchased (or used) a Nikon lens (or generic) that

failed to meet your expectations?

Please share what the lens was and why it didn't meet up to your

standards.

Actually, if memory serves, the Nikon F did use a battery...or two.

They were the button cells and used for the built in light meter.

If you use a Nikon D100 with an AI manual focus lens, does its

operation most resemble:

FE (automatic exposure with manual focus)

FM (manual exposure with working lightmeter - you set the aperture

and shutter speed, it tells you if you're close)

F with a dead battery - no clues on exposure.

Thanks!

I have a 100mm Nikon series E lens. Will this work with the D100?

What do I need to know about this?

Thank-you!

Diana

I really like the close-up focusing feature that the Nikon Coolpix

cameras offer. Does the D-100 also offer this feature? What would be

the ideal lens for the budget minded that would do close-up

photography well?

I have the 28-200mm zoom (for my 35mm) which doesn't do close-ups as

far as I can tell.

Thanks!

I never thought of cameras that way.
