<p>Last post from me on this thread, guys.</p>

<p>Thank God for that!</p>

<p>Fact is, you can place the LCD any where you prefer, even two or three inches from your eyes, at eye level *if one likes*. You can also hold it above or below, waistfinder style. Or a few inches to the left or to the right...</p>

</blockquote>

<p>So what? I prefer an OVF or at least an eye level viewfinder that is accurate and bright. LCD composing isn't my cup of tea and never will be.</p>

<p>What Chris is asking about is nothing new. Chris check into the Yahoo QTR forum and do some reading there. Clay Harmon has an excellent free pdf on hi web site and recent discussions on the QTR forum highlight some of the issues people have using inkjet digital negatives.</p>

<p>And if you like and use QTR pay Roy Harrington the $50 so he will continue supporting the product.</p>

<p>Of course QTR wasn't originally created for inkjet negatives but it can produce excellent beautiful results.</p>

<p>Also look up Ron Reeder's website as well for more information.<br>

If you are working just with silver gelatin paper (ahite light printing vs UV for alt. processes) you can use glossy RC inkjet paper as your negative substrate. That's an inexpensive option to learn with. Once you understand the methodology, switch to Pictorico white film (expensive but the product has virtually zero dot gain). From there out you can make extremely sharp prints.<br>

If you want more info email me off list.</p>

<p>And you cannot enlarge these negatives, they must be contact printed.</p>

<p>> I don't recommend investing in the X-rite,</p>

<p>S. Grant I think you have your topics and methodology confused, or that is how I read your post.</p>

<p><br /></p>

<p>Canon buyers and sellers can also look on other websites with active buy and sell forums like F. Miranda or PON. A lot of good equipment is bought and sold there.</p>

<p>+1 with what Scott wrote. And then follow S. Grant's advice if you wish and to take it farther setup a unique profile with different illuminates. </p>

<p>Step 1 though is as Scott Ferris wrote.</p>

<p>Most of the time everything works seamlessly these days, but going with a Class 10 card automatically isn't necessarily the best choice. Some devices, including cameras can exhibit timing issues with anything above a class 4 card. Try to determine what the device manufacturer recommends before buying if possible. <br>

Cameras that do video usually will work well with the faster or fastest cards but testing will reveal any weaknesses though determining the cause of problems can be difficult.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>If you can edit a RAW file in LR, it can be edited in the corresponding version of ACR. LR and PS updates aren't sunchronized most of the time unless you have the Adobe updater turned on as a startup process.<br>

LR4 RC Beta edits ARE NOT supported by the current version of ACR in PS CS5.</p>

<p>Bob nailed it. The lens is a yawner. I'm very disappointed with Canon's response. I wanted Canon to get this right because of eTTL flash compatibility. I don't give a wit about inter-changeable lenses on a recreational camera.<br>

The FujiFilm X-1 is looking even better now considering price, features and most of all IQ in a smallish light camera.<br>

The Fuji Pro is also very exciting, very much a poor mans Leica M9, but it is in a different class of cameras. Fuji is pushing the envelope this season for me.</p>

I've never had any problem (except for a confirmation chip, but that is <a rel="nofollow" href="00Jb4x">another story</a>) </p>

<p>JDM I think you need some grief counseling for that experience since you mention it so often. Obviously you were traumatized!</p>

<p>If you don't own a 50D or 7D, then purchase the 7D. You won't have any regrets by doing so.</p>

<p>> Still, he didn't shoot with a 35mm camera, did he?<br>

Yes. He was fundamentally a LF camera user. He worked with all of the major format sizes along with some that weren't so common.</p>

<p>He also used MF. Per John Sexton, his last photograph was made with a Contax 35mm camera. I've seen the image, a landscape.</p>

<p>Thursday isn't over yet, but I have to say I think this is the best Canon Thursday yet!</p>

<p>Happy Thanksgiving everyone!</p>

<p>Where in the world did you come up with the Warhol connection. Jeff Spirer is correct. Liebovitz simply menat that the iPhone is today's everymans' camera and photo wallet.</p>

<p>I thought it was a great answer. Does anyone have a link to the first part of the interview? </p>

<p>><br>

Don, no, I've never shot with an M9. I'm a Canon photographer. I own and occasionally use a Leica IIIf, if that softens your contempt and somehow makes my commentary worthy.<br>

><br>

You missed my point (my fault actually.) The M9 has no Bayer filter and moire does occur but can be corrected with PS actions when it happens. I didn't invent them but others have tackled the problem successfully. There was no contempt (intended) in my post. </p>

<p>I've noticed you are very thin skinned Sarah, when others disagree with you. I usually don't post warm and fuzzy but just get right to the point, though I'm not trying to tick you off.</p>

<p>Anyway, sorry I bothered expressing a contrary opinion.</p>

<p>><br>

However, you don't want to take a picture of a screen window or a piece of fabric with such a camera!<br>

><br>

Ever worked with a Leica M9 Sarah? It uses no AA filter. Moire patterns are easy to eliminate when they crop up.</p>

<p>><br>

I think 24 MP is probably enough for most full frame DSLR needs<br>

></p>

<p>Speak for yourself, some of us like to print large without interpolating. I keep reading these kind of statements over and over and I think they are baseless.</p>

<p>Sorry, I'm not trying to be argumentative just positing a differnt point of view.</p>

<p>Based on your previous posts I thought you were going into Photo Journalism?</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Why not bump the ISO? That's only 1 stop difference.</p>

<p>Frightening!</p>

<p>I believe the product you are looking for is the R-Strap by Black Rapid:</p>

<p>Unlike a holster bag, this product makes your camera easy to carry and available to use quickly.</p>
