Any suggestions why I am having problems with auto focus with this

lens on my D70? When I first turn on the camera it will auto focus

fine the first time, then I have problems re-focusing. Also, any

Ideas how to correct the problem? All suggestions well be greatly

appreciated.

I just purchased a Lowel Tota Light off of e-bay and unfortunately it

did not come with any instructions. I noticed that the light itself

heated up really fast. Do I need to be careful on how long I leave

the light turned on? Is there a danger of it overheating and melting

down? I appreciate any advise you can offer as I would like to keep

from damaging the light and not burning down the house would be a

real plus also.

I recently purchased an FM3A and while considering which flash to

use I became intrigued with the SB50. Right now I am in the process

of replacing stolen equipment and have decided to start out with

manual or basic equipment to refine my skills. Next year, if things

go well I may look into the D100 and SB28D. I was thinking that if

I went with the SB50 now, it would make a good slave later. But

will it be an adaquate flash as a primary for now with the FM3A?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Recently I had my camera equipment stolen and I am trying to slowly

replace it all, but I decided to go a different direction. I had a

F100, which I thought was a great camera, maybe too great for me. I

was never really sure if the good results I was getting were because

of me or the results of all the bells and whistles on the F100. So

this time I am starting at the opposite end of the spectrum. I

ordered the FM3a, now I will set the settings and I will do the

focusing, not the camera. I believe this will help me develop my

skills better than having a camera do it for me.

That is more information that I probably needed to share. Let me

get to my question. I would really appreciate some advise on Flash

systems for the Fm3a. I concetrate mainly on outdoor, nature and

landscape photography, but occasionally I'm asked to do a head shot

for a buddy. With the F100 I used the SB28 and this seemed to work

fairly well. What are your recommendations ?
