<p>No, just one.</p>

<p>Sure do. Run Macs, so a little concerned if I format them on the desktop that i may have file format issues?</p>

<p>Hey guys did a search and could not find a solution for this, ok shoot mostly fashion, have a recurring problem with a nikon D3. Number for exposures on the top of camera display starts flashing to tell me I have "0" exposures left. This happens out of the blue, usually at the beginning of a shoot. The other night it happened at the end of the shoot. Has happened with two different CF cards, a SanDisk Extreme 2GB and a Lexar Pro 8GB. Has me baffled. If I turn off the camera, pull out the cf card etc. It usually starts working again. Anyone have this problem?</p>

<p>Wow, just did a search to see if anyone was having problems with the canned profile for Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre Silk on the Epson r2400. Same problem here, much cooler and contrasty, serious build up in the blacks. So I tried your suggestion! Wow- the Hahnemuhle profile is very close. Nice paper. I was trying an Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre Silk 24" roll on an Epson 7800 a few months ago, the profile was way off. Gave up on the paper but I am going to try the Hahnemuhle profile on it tomorrow! I calibrate my monitor every couple of weeks, I believe that it is in fact a weak canned profile.</p>

<p>I have a wide variety of lenses, but definitely use the 50mm 75 percent of the time. Even have a backup 50mm. Get the 50mm, leave it on the camera, get a zoom for when the need arises, leave it in your bag.</p>

<p>I have the nikon, it will be hard to find someone with both. Andreas asks a good question- "what do you feel the Sigma is lacking?"- it is all about the images that you take, the hardware is important but secondary. If you are getting good results stick with the sigma. If possible borrow or rent the nikon and compare. I would spend the extra money on something else on your list.</p>

<p>There must be none! I am tempted to try it. However there are a few limitations that I noticed. First I got a unsolicited email that left me in the dark to what they were providing. I assumed it was a DAM solution. I tried the trial but would really, like you, hear from a full fledged member's take on the service. Photoshelter offers better storage allocations for the same price. Especially the fact that museworx are offering support for so many file types, the storage allocation should be much larger.</p>

I know it is tough to switch, but sincerely I use both windows and mac platforms out of necessity and I have to tell you in eighteen months

time with different software upgrades your current software will be insignificant. The Mac is truly a superior machine, you can buy the

cheapest one, they are all great. In the next few months the whole Apple line will be upgraded, your timing is very good! Switch, switch,

switch.

Peter, I just looked again. I have a roll of it, so I selected gold fibre silk roll. And a strange profile comes up. I checked gold

fibre silk sheet profile and there it is! Even though it does not come in sheets at that size. It should work, thanks.

Just looking on Ilford's site for a Galerie Gold Fibre Silk profile for the Mac using the Epson 7800 printer ? Just bought a 24" role and can't

find a profile. Last minute job, anyone have any ideas?

Hey Mel, there is an ongoing discussion about nef files and photoshop ongoing at http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-

forum/00QkVB there are some well outlined workarounds listed there.

P.S. the newest 'Camera Raw' update as far as I know is not compatible with older versions of Photoshop.

I have the same problem with the Nikon D3. CS2 will not open them, I will have to upgrade to CS3. I recently got lightroom 2.0 which opens

nefs. Another work around is that you can get the free Adobe DNG converter at http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/ which will convert

your .nef files to dng which many photographers do anyway. Then you will be able to open your shots in some older versions of Photoshop

and Lightroom.

I was caving, after three hours of crawling on my stomach deep under a mountain we came out the other side, i popped

open my waterproof box to take a shot of the guys and the lense immediately fogged up inside and out,it was the worst I

have ever seen. It took quite a while to evaporate and years later is still working fine. However it was a manual focus lense

on a Nikon F3. I would imagine it would not be the healthiest for a digital camera and autofocus lense.

I have had a website for ten years and have found that a website is just another aspect of your marketing effort. A million

hits is only good if it's from potential clients in your geographic area. You should consider direct mail or print advertising

prominently listing your web address. Your website can then convert potentials by giving them all the information such as a

portfolio, list of services, prices etc. 20 hits from potential customers is better than 1000 hits from around the world.

I would assist some photographers if possible. You have a very good eye, your pictures are

interesting and entertaining. You have natural talent. Forget the comments on the blown out

sky, if you were shooting fashion- you would be asked -how did you do that? Good luck.

P.S. The photographers should be ones you admire, who work with some major magazines or

major studios.

I would buy a prime 35 and 24. Personally I use the same as you the 50mm 1.4. I have two

of them, one for each body. They are amazing. Most important, we forget sometimes, it's not

the equipment, it's the final image we create.

I imagine you are talking about inkjet from an Epson or HP. I would mount the picture

between a PH neutral(7) Matt and backing board. Use hinging tape that is archival rated and

water based. Hinge the picture from the top only. Don't Dry mount. Don't use spray

adhesives, conservation glass or plexi-glass is a waste of time. Use regular picture glass and

put a warning on the back to keep in a 'dry place' and not in 'direct sunlight'.

You are very vague, (for menu boards and other promotional stuff) in the Middle East. What

franchise? Is it 'Disney' or Alabama's famous duck sauce?

"it's a giant flashing monument to copyright infringement"... I have to admit... that is

certainly the case here.

Yeah its a strange one to decipher. It may be very simple, possibly a window to the left of

picture, another sky light above the models, contrast and color tweaked in curves. Or maybe

the background was dropped in, there is very little flare in the hair - I would expect some

from the window..

You may be able to modify your tamron lenses to fit other cameras. If that is the case, you

should consider Canon or Nikon. Be careful with the D40, as it is a consumer camera, I have

a suspicion it is not compatible with most previously owned lenses. You should check that

out. Sony have promised a professional camera this year, so your options may grow in the

next few months. As for the lenses- I wouldn't assume anything.

I have a the Nikon D3, Konica 5400II, which is a very nice 35mm scanner and recently I

bought an epson perfection V500 Photo scanner. To give you a simple answer, the V500 is

the cheapest and fastest piece of scanning kit I have, and it makes very good medium format

scans. The problem with dedicated film scanners is their speed or I should say lack of speed.

If you intend scanning a large collection of film, I would stick with the v750, you will get

great medium format scans that will surprise you.

Gareth, thats a pity but thanks very much for your help. I will try your suggested route.

Gareth, That would be great,I would really appreciate it. I am pretty desperate. I imagine the

inside slot is for scrims, filters and other accessories, but if it works- that is all that matters.

Do you have a barndoor for the 3150? If you have time would you measure the ring on it

also. Thanks-Patrick
