<p>Ah, OK. I will try a lithium battery as well and see if the issue goes away. Thank you.</p>

<p>I made a post, but I don't see it...<br> Thanks for all suggestions and insight, I appreciate you all. I ordered a Duracell 28A and hope that does the trick. Otherwise, I will contact Ken. Fingers crossed!</p>

<p>I am loving this weeks photos, all around, so far! I have a roll from my nature walk, from yesterday, that needs to be developed - my first time using slide film. I hope to share next week. For now, I will just enjoy all of your wonderful shots.</p>

I was shooting at 1/2000 and I do have the AE Finder.

I checked the contacts just now, they look perfect.

<p>The battery is a new one I bought at a local Radio Shack a month, or so, ago - used for three outings. Settings used: "Normal" and "A".</p>

<p>I have only shot with this one 3 times and it is the first camera I have owned. There were a couple of instances - today - that when I would press the shutter-release the meter wouldn't register and it wouldn't take the photo. Then it would work shortly after, when that happened once it took the pic - but no movement on the meter. Is there a setting that is not letting this happen? Or, is my camera dying? Thanks for any insight.</p>

William, I saw your post about identifying flora. There is a smart phone app called "LikeThat" that can ID plants and flowers - by taking a picture of it. I just found out about it and plan to try it out soon. The reviews and overall rating look promising.

<p>Thank you very much, Laura! So much inspiration, talent, and encouragement to be found. I have already received a lot of help; I hope to be able to give back someday!</p>

<p>Here is one from my first roll of film. I just had it developed today.</p> <p><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/18195813-md.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="450" /><br> <strong>Canon New F-1, Canon 50mm Macro f/3.5</strong></p>

Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation.

<p>Brian, I am not sure what you are trying to show with the photos - I'm pretty green. Make an RF cam?</p> <p>Thanks for the tips!</p>

<p>I picked up a Canon VI-T for a ridiculously low price and bought the adapter so I can use the lenses that I bought for my New F-1. But, when I tried using them, I couldn't seem to get a handle on if things were in focus. But... The lens that actually goes with the VI-T, a 50mm 1.8, looks great and I know when the shot is focused. Does anyone shoot with an an FD adapter and get good results, using them on the same body that I am? Is there some trick or accessory that makes it easier? This is my first attempt at photography, so any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks!</p>

<p>I will be tomorrow! I am excited. I also picked up a Canon VI-T that I got at a local resale shop, for only $3! It came with a lens, the matching meter, and leather case. I will report back. Thanks for all the great info and advice, it is greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks for that info, Jim!</p>

<p>It has a silver ring to attach it to the body.</p>

<p>I have Canon FD 50mm 1.4 lens and I bought a filter for it - a polarizing filter. I read that it needed to be 52mm and I found one of that size that was made by canon. The problem is that there is no way to attach it, as I see it. Both the 50mm lens and 52mm filter have threads on the inner lip, it just lays inside the lens with no way to attach. Did I buy the wrong one, or is there supposed to be an adapter to make them connect? Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>You can check by the alphanumeric code - stamped in black- that is inside the film chamber, but mine doesn't seem to fit the standard format. I would be curious what date mine is, too. Here is a link to the site: http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/eosfaq/DATECODE.HTM</p> <p>Mine New F-1 serial is: 307098<br> The code in the film chamber is: EG0848R</p>
