Jodi,

 

Thanks for the answer! I can't wait to buy and try the adapter.

 

Best Regards,

I have been trying to figure out which Nikons the Diana lens adapter will work on. Is it only F series film cameras, or will it work on any of the DSLRs.<br>

Thanks,<br>

<p>Hi All. From dinner Saturday night at Soi Four in the Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland. Bangkok Street Food Thai Restaurant. </p><div></div>

<p>Wow! Just blown away by the quality of the shots in this thread week after week. Thought I would dip a toe into the water for the first time. Shot in San Francisco on a recent Saturday. Nikon D200 with new 35mm f1.8 lens. f8 at 1/250 second. Some overall photo work in Lightroom.</p><div></div>

Hope you enjoy the show!<br>

<p>DPreview.com has a side by side comparison feature that is quite helpful when comparing specs of different cameras. I just did one for the D-LUX 4, LX3, G10 and DP2. Not sure if this link will work, but this is the link that resulted from my comparison: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras=canon_g10%2Cleica_dlux4%2Cpanasonic_dmclx3%2Csigma_dp2&show=all</p>

Thanks for your input, and for sharing your experience with the LX-3.<br>

I have a Nikon D200, which I use when getting the best quality is the issue. I do always like to have a P&S too for those times when I do not want to lug the D200 around, or don't want to get it out of the camera bag for a shot. There are also those times when my wife can put up with my taking shots with a P&S, like at dinner in a restaurant, when she does not like the D200 being a guest at the table. We cycle year round, and the P&S is a lot easier to quickly take out and put away than is the D200 in a Lowepro backpack I use when we ride.<br>

I did take a walk today at lunch and held and tried the D-Lux 4, and talked with the sales people about it and the LX-3, and also about the G-10. They mentioned the warranty difference, a reference to the images on the Leica being better than those from the Panasonic, and the image processing in the Leica being better than the Panasonic. As for the G10, they confirmed what I had read that Canon just crammed too many megapixels on to the small sensor in that camera, so its images were not perceived to be as good.<br>

I do need to think about the fixed focal length, versus zoom lens issue. That might make the DP2 a no go for me. I know that when I have used a P&S in the past, I have always used the zoom in composing my shots. While there are many instances when you can "zoom' with your feet, there are others when a zoom is needed - such as in street photoraphy when you don't want to get completely in someone's face.<br>

I do own a dedicated video camera, but only seem to get it out when I am with my granddaughter. I rarely used the video feature on my Canon SD850 IS (which I gave to my son in March), and when I have after transferring the files to my computer, rarely ever go back to look at, or use them.<br>

So, for me, being able to shoot in RAW, the best possible sensor for a cameras of this size, having as much manual control as possible, and as little start up time and shutter lag as possible are the primary drivers for me. What I would really love is an advance P&S with at least an APS-C sized sensor, and better yet, with a full frame 24 x36 sensor. Maybe someday?<br>

I will look forward to hearing Ton how you come out on your decision, and to then hear about, and see the quality of the images you get and your experience with your choice.<br>

Thanks to all,<br>

Bruce</p>

<p>Ton,<br>

I am similarly in the market. My list is narrowed down to the D-Lux 4, the DP2 and the Canon G10. I will be curious to hear what you ultimately select, and then to hear your impressions on its use after you shoot with it for a bit.<br>

The person in me who hates to buy outdated technology wonders if I should wait until September to see what new will be coming out, and to get more hands on reviews from owners of the DP2.<br>

Good luck with whatever you buy!<br>

Best,<br>

Bruce</p>

<p>A big thanks to all for offering your services, or for recommending the services of someone else. My friend is quite appreciative, and has selected several of the photographers I learned about here for interview, along with another photographer someone else recommended.<br>

At this point, my friend is not interested in my forwarding her any more information about other photographers, so no need to send any further requests/recommendations.<br>

My friend and I do very much appreciate the wonderful community of photographers on photo.net providing us so many wonderful and talented photographers from which to choose for her daughters upcoming wedding.<br>

Thanks,<br>

Bruce</p>

<p>Thanks to all who have posted thus far, and to those of you who may later post recommendations or requests to be considered. I am passing along all of your information to my friend for her consideration. If she is interested in talking with you further, she will contact you directly. Providing the URL for your website, as most of you have done, is, and will be the most helpful.<br>

Many thanks to the wonderful community of photographers on photo.net!<br>

Best Regards,<br>

Bruce</p>

<p>The date is August 15.<br>

Thanks</p>

<p>Can anyone recomend a photographer for a wedding in August that will be held in Bass Lake, Caliofornia, which is just outside Yosemite Valley? My friend's budget is about $3-4,000.<br>

If this is the wrong forum for posting this question, I apologize, and look forward to learning which is the correct forum.<br>

Thanks,<br>

I was searching for the answer to the same problem, but figured out my problem with

the VFA paper profile being grayed out and thought I would contribute that here. I was

trying to feed the paper into my 3800 using the regular paper feeder, rather than putting

the paper through the rear feeder. Once I moved it to the rear feeder and changed my

page setup to show that, the profile was no longer grayed out. I believe that is all there

is to it.
