<p>Godfrey, many thanks. Also thanks to Larry and Patrick. </p>

<p>I forgot, I am using Aperture 2.</p>

<p>I recently converted from PC to Mac (10.6.3, 3.06 GHZ, Core 2 Duo). With my PC and R2880 my prints were perfect. I can't get a good print from the Mac. THe colors are washed out and the prints are too dark. The colors on the screen are perfect. I used a spyder with the PC but have not purchased the spyder software for the Mac yet. </p>

<p>I must not know what I am doing. Can someone help?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Photo Net should outlaw the phrase <strong>"A camera is only a tool"</strong>. Maybe when we were dealing with film cameras that were all the same, but not now. Based on camera sales people are interested in sensor improvements and other features.<br>

The other issue is that in general people are upgrading faster and if you buy a camera near the end of it's life cycle you are generally going to take a whipping when you trade in.</p>

 

<p>I have a 5D II and I have the 24-105mm lens and I love it. It is sharp and the IS is incredible. I am very impressed with the lens. I also have a cheap 50mm and am looking at the 85mm or 100mm f/2 prime. I would go with the full frame --- if nothing else the viewfinder is in my opinion a lot nicer than the crop cameras.</p>

<p>Van do, seriously, send it back to the seller and go through Paypal to get your money. I would not keep it. It should have been disclosed.</p>

<p>Anyone have any opinions on a portrait lens for full frame? The only lens I have now for my 5D II is a 24-105mm L and the 50mm. I really need a portrait lens. That is what I really enjoy. I am not a pro but do not really care about the price. Thanks in advance. I am looking at the 85mm f/1.8, 100mm f/2, 100mm f/2.8 macro (dual purpose), and the 135mm f/2. I really don't want a zoom lens.</p>

<p>Kerry, do you think that KEH asks for proof of ownership before they buy from the public? It is the same thing as EBAY except you have a middleman and higher prices. I assume that most people are honest. </p>

<p>John, Thanks, I just went to this website - <a href="http://www.cosina.co.jp/seihin/voigt/english/s-wide-e.html">http://www.cosina.co.jp/seihin/voigt/english/s-wide-e.html</a>. Is this the website that you are referring to? What diff do you see?</p>

<p>Thanks Ted, the included VF is why I am leaning towards the LTM version. I think the difference in price is $130 between versions.</p>

<p>I want to buy a Voigtlander 21mm f/4 lens for my M6. It is my understanding that the 2 versions are indentical optically. Is that correct? The screw mount with the adaptor is less money that the newer version. Will I be missing anything getting the screw version? <br>

Also, in the future I may want to buy a digital M camera. Will the screw mount with the adaptor work as well as the dedicated bayonet version.<br>

Thanks in advance for your help.</p>

<p>Ebay is never a problem when you use paypal with a credit card. There is absolutely zero risk. If you don't like it call your credit card company and they will reverse the charges. It is that simple. I have done it without a problem.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone, I guess I should have read the data sheet. It states the difference on the first page. </p>

<p>I wanted to process TMAX 400 in D76 1+1 and found different times in the Kodak data sheet (12.5 minutes) and the Massive development chart (10.25 minutes). I exposed at 400 and plan to process at 68 degrees in a small tank. I was going to follow the agitation procedure on the Kodak data sheet.<br>

Any recommendations for a starting point? I know that I will have to develop my own times but what I am asking for is just a ball park starting point.<br>

I also scan all of my negatives and print digitally. I use a Nikon LS 4000. <br>

Thanks in advance.</p>

 

<p>John, what is the easiest way to filter it?</p>

<p>Does the VC 21mm lens work well with the M9 or M8?</p>

<p>Oskar, I agree and I did list Sony earlier in the thread. The Zeiss lenses are the draw with Sony. I also handled a Sony at a store and was very impressed with the quality and feel of the camera. It felt very good in my hands.<br>

Jamie, the crop is very impressive</p>

<p>Guys, I have gotten such great info from everyone that I just subscribed to Photo.net. This is a great source of info. I feel guilty for not doing it sooner.</p>

<p>Elliot, I have also shot with both Canon and Nikon and my first choice goes to Nikon. I think that Canon makes great cameras its just my preference. I would love it if Nikon had a higher MP camera that was more in line with the price of a Mark II. If they did I would not hesitate in buying the camera. I just have a problem spending that much money on a FF D700 with just 12 MP's. I know the camera has other benefits but........</p>

<p>Don, thanks a lot. That is what I was asking. I have a D90 and wanted to know if I would see a diff in quality in prints if I went to a full frame 21MP or higher (Sony 850 or Canon 5D II). I can't justify the D3X. I am not a pro and do this for fun. Eight thousand would really take the fun out of it. <br>

Ilkka, explain an increase in spatial frequency. Sorry, I'm in business and not an engineer. :) Assuming the lenses are the same and the sensors are the same would you see a diff? I did not think sensor size mattered because from what I have read the IQ from the D700 and the D300 are about the same.</p>

 

<p>Keith, inches.</p>

<p>Shun, Matt and Andy, thanks so much for taking the time to answer my question. Shun, you exactly answered my queston. Thanks for sharing your experience.</p>

<p>David</p>

<p>Has anyone done a print comp between the D700, D300 (D90) and 5D Mark II at 13 by 9? I am not interested in viewing pixels. Is there any sharpness or detail difference in the actual prints at that size? I am not asking for any opinions either or someone telling me to research older answers. I just want to know if anyone has done a comp between any or all of these cameras and what the results were. I have had a D300 and now a D90 and am considering a 5D Mark II if there is a gain in print quality. I don't plan on spending 8 grand on a D3X so Canon is my only alternative.<br>

Thank you for your answers. I really appreciate your help.</p>

 

<p>Kevin, are you really a Canon shooter?</p>
