Lovely shots, I miss Paris, my favorite city. The composition is perfect! Anymore to share?

Konica Minolta 7D, a high quality digital SLR with a good price, the anti-shake is icing on the cake.

Just bought a new Nikon 9000 scanner, it only allows for installing

with Photoshop 7.0 and Photoshop Elements 2.0. I have CS2, do I have

to get software upgrades from Nikon, help!

Just installed the ver. 1.10 firmware upgrade for my 7D, following

exactly the instructions. Now my camera won't turn on, help

sorry I mean 75mm lux @1.4<div></div>

70mm lux @1.4<div></div>

I have my Xpan film processed at Costco for the same price as regular frame 35mm. I just asked them not to cut the film. Living in a small town in California, it is a pain to have MF film processed by the lab, if I can find one decent one. So I only shoot B&W MF now and develop myself at home. By the way I also have the Linhof baby 2x3 folding camera, if I want I could shoot up to 6x9, but it's such a hassle sometimes. I love the portability of the Xpan. I do use a tripod when I do some serious cityscape photography.

203FE, FE 2.8/50, FE 2/110, 1.4XE, I own all of them, so I am not shooting from the hip. They are quite heavy, so if you want to travel light, take only one of them sometimes. If the weight doesn't bother you, get two bodies and both lenses. Changing lenses in the dark can be dangerous, you don't want to fumble and drop one of these expensive babies!

I own a Xpan II, most of the responses here seem to miss one advantage that the MF cameras mentioned here do not possess: portability. You can just use the Xpan alone and shoot both panaramic and normal 35mm, with the flip of a switch. The Mamiya 6/7 is a pain to install the adapter, and not in mid-roll. By the way I own Leica M's and Hasselblads too, so I am not biased in my opinion. The Xpan II takes sharp pictures.

It says to wait a few days, could mean Photokina? A big surprise from Canon. We shall see......

Let me translate some of the highlights of the R3A & R2A page:

 

*Aperture priority, automatic focal plane shutter.

 

*R3A has life size finder, R2A has 0.7x wide angle finder.

 

*Increased range finder coverage, 0.7mm to infinity.

 

*Smoother film winder/rewinder, winder using high quality ball bearing with ratchet making multiple small incremental winding possible.

 

*Use of interchangeable Bessa accesories possible: grip, rewinder, light meter.

 

*Full metal new design, use of high quality light weight magnesium alloy for top/bottom plate cover. Cast aluminum alloy for body chassis and lens mount. With its radical new design and generous use of metal parts inside and out, making it more desirable to shoot.

 

Sorry guys, need some coffee now. Maybe the other pages late.

 

By the way I spent five years in Japan, going to college and professional school there, long time ago.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the R5, I bought mine new in the early 90's and still have it pairing with my R6. I used for my vacation trips a lot. Check out my portfolio here to see some samples. Over the years I have accumulated 12 lenses, part of which can be used on my Digital Rebel I bought not too long ago with an adapter. The images are better than the prime Canon lenses I bought with the camera, believe me. I have never encounter any problems over the years, and it has been to many different countries. I paid a premium since I bought it new, but made good use of it all these years and got my money back many times over.

 

Enjoy it Peter.

It seems to fit perfectly with my MP/classic M6 and a 50mm Summilux. My case came originally with the M3, the front is triangular shaped. I think it was designed to fit the 50mm dual range with eyes attached.

Still waiting for my Nikon 9000 to scan my slides taken with Leica equipment over the years so I can upload some of them to PN, no ass pictures though.

I just bought the Epson R800 and my first print was on Epson Premium Glossy paper, it turned out beautifully. Definitely a very good match if you like glossy finish.

I own a digital Rebel and when I save from RAW to tiff files with no upsizing, the size is 36M.

Just bought a DRebel 2 weeks ago along with 24mm 2.8, 50mm 1.4 and 100mm 2.8 macro lenses. Worked out great for me.

Let's not forget that evil would not prevail, no matter how good the German weapons were.

I just bought a 39mm B+W filter and now the lens cap keeps falling off. But I remember that the Leica chrome filter had the same problem with my old 50mm Summicron lens cap. Haven't tried the Heliopan yet, seriously thinking of switching if there is no problem with the lens cap.

The negative size is 24x65mm. I just got mine a few weeks ago, waiting for my Nikon Coolscan 9000 to come, so I can finally post some of my shots on Photo.net. Being a long time Leica user, I think the Xpan is a real nice complement to it. I have noticed lately the posts have a lot of typo which make them difficult to read. Maybe a spell check before we post will be a good courtesy. Thanks for sharing, Chee.

A user Leica M3 and a chrome Summicron 50. maybe a few dollars over, but you get the best for your money. Later they can be sold for about the same amount.
