What is it? How does it work? How much would a decent one cost? Thanks!:)

THANKS!:)

To everyone, especially to William, thanks a lot. The images were better when I decided to take them again. :)

I want to set up a darkroom and learn how to process my negatives. Who's got an idea of the equipments I will

need? Please post a helpful site if you know one. Thanks.:)

I forgot to ask, how do they come up with numbers for macro,, like 1:1.8? Thanks.

I have a Soligor 70-250mm f4.5 lens. How can I make best use of it? I'm just new in photography so please try to

simplify the answers. BTW, I'm interested in architecture, portrait, stolen shots and nature photographs. If you

know links showing images taken with the same lens please post them. Thank you! :)

I'm just beginning to learn how to photograph with correct exposures. Unfortunately, I'm using a film camera so I

can't experiment much. How will I know if my shot is under exposed or over exposed to light? So I can learn from

it. If you know links that would help in mastering exposures (charts for correct settings) please

post them. Thank you. :)

I mean, the results are clear, but the viewfinder seems dusty. Like Pankaj said, that these dust particles on the lens would be out of focus, would that mean they won't need cleaning anymore? I just thought that dust on the lens might affect my shots.

The view is blurry but I'm getting clear shots. I'm just wondering if I can have better shots by cleaning them up. Thanks.

I'm really unfamiliar with accessories, I don't know how they work. What accessories should I get if my subjects

are architectural works? Thanks.

Took me a while to completely absorb everything, those were super enlightening. Thanks! Best regards... :)

I have a Yashica FX-3 Super 2000, the lenses are Yashica 35-70mm and Soligor 70-250mm. They are a little blurry,

but I can still get nice shots with them. I'd like to know if I can have better shots if I clean up my lenses. I

really don't know if the problem is fungus or my stuffs are just dusty. How to determine the problem? If the

problem is fungus, can I still fix them? I've never done a cleaning before. Thank you.

In my non-professional opinion, I think I really need a faster lens. The fastest I have is f3.5 and I'm really

having a hard time shooting in low light, especially in streets where the are so many moving objects (people,

cars, etc.). I think, again, in my non-professional opinion, correct me if I'm wrong guys, that we won't be

needing faster lenses if we could ALWAYS ask our moving subjects to stand still which is apparently impossible,

or if we creatively intend to convey motion.

Pankaj, very nice of you for the answer and links. By the way, I have a Yashica 35-70mm and a Soligor 70-250mm lens. How can I do best out of them?

 

William, that's very much appreciated. I'm actually considering a DSLR, but maybe I'll stick with what I have for a while. What accessories should I secure first? All I have is a tripod for my camera. Photography isn't actually a prerequisite in my course, I simply find happiness in photographs. :)

 

David, that was really helpful. I'm wondering what perspective distortions are, and what special cameras may correct them. By the way, I enjoyed viewing your works. Great. I only hope folks would also trust me to photograph their weddings someday. :)

I'm an architecture student and I find photography a really nice way to improve my works. I think I really have

the passion for it. I really want to learn. Currently, I have a Yashica FX-3 Super 2000, the one I used for photo

journalism when I was in the fifth grade, isn't it an obsolete piece? Do I really have to buy a new one? If yes,

what camera would you suggest? Digital or Film? And please share some words of wisdom on how I should start.

Thank you.
