is on-site printing really the way to make money?
leon_knight replied to lesterphoto's topic in Business of Photography
Thanks for keepin' it real Valdez. You're working it the "old school" way. I do the same. I've been doing it with a Nikon D2X and a D200 for backup and a couple of Canon ip100s. I cover everything from weddings at city hall to private parties and Halloween parades. I live in NYC so there's always something to do, especially on weekends. My business cards are everywhere! Thanks for the info and keep doin' what you doin'. -

The digital back can attach to the RZ67 Pro II but not the RZ67 Pro.

Also, if you decide to upgrade to digital you can attach a digital back to an RZ67 but not an RB67.

I still use my D1X from time to time. I like the feel of it because it reminds me of my F5. In fact, they so closely resemble one another that I've mistakenly grabbed the wrong one at times and ended up away from home with a digital camera in my hand and a pocket full of film. Because of its weight, I find it easier for me to balance the longer zooms that I own. Never really had exposure problems with it. It's usually spot on.

For certain, it does not work on either the D90 or D7000 cameras. Fortunately for me, I'll be using it on my F3 and F5.

How about the PK-13?

I also live in NYC, in Queens to be exact. I only take my Nikon equipment to be cleaned or repaired to the Nikon headquarters in Melville, LI. It is only 45 minutes from where I live and you can walk in at any time. The staff is courteous and the prices are reasonable and here's the plus... the place is never crowded. Living in NYC, that's important. The technicians are knowledgeable and they will take their time to explain to you what services they provide and how they can help you with your problem. They will even give you a free lens cap if you want one. Plenty of parking spaces and the building is beautiful and quiet.

Is cleaning a camera mirror a risky undertaking?

Recently, I have noticed several clearly visible spots on my camera mirror. I can also see them on some of my photos. I have attempted to remove them by using a blower and a dry Q-tip but to no avail. Am I risking the safety of my camera by doing anything on my own to remove the spots or should I cease my actions and take my camera to a qualified camera technician and have them do it? Help!

I have the option of purchasing an f3.5 for $78 or an f2.8 for $99 on Ebay. Both are in near mint condition. I posed the question because I couldn't figure out which option to choose. However, based on the comments received here, I have decided to buy both since they are relatively inexpensive and they both seem to be great lenses. Furthermore, I can always sell one at a later time if I ever consider one to be far superior than the other. Thanks for all your help. I have been thoroughly enlightened.

Besides the obvious difference in maximum apertures, what other features separate these lenses from one another?

I'm a lot like you. I keep my old cameras, even film cameras, if they continue to give great results. I still use my Nikon D1X for street photography on the weekends and shoot with my F, F3 and F5 film cameras on a regular basis. There's something special about using film cameras and knowing that you have to exploit all of your creativity to produce great shots the first time around, not knowing if you got anything at all. No delete buttons on film cameras.

I use the 28-105 also on my D800. It's a nifty lens that I keep on the camera for weekend excursions. You're right about the hood. I replaced mine with the HN-23 which came with my 85mm f1.8D. It works fine with no vignetting.
