focus screens
I would say that if you want a new screen you need to buy something like the Katzeye which is made for the job, rather than one of the cut-down 35mm screens you can find cheaply from far eastern ebay sellers. I bought one of the latter, used it for a month, then went back to standard as it was just ...

Depth of Field
Just a thought regarding depth of field :- Say I use a 55mm lens and a tube extension and fill the AF frame in the viewfinder with a ladybird. The alternative is a 300mm macro lens also with appropriate tube to get the same sized image. Which setup would give the greatest depth of field (fo...

Depth of Field
Depth of field is what we are talking about. Depth of focus refers to the allowable error in the position of the film/sensor. If you have the same magnification you will have the same DOF regardless of lens. Of course, the perspective will be different as you will be a different distance from the...

My Muse is famous...
Despite the fact that I see an awful lot of nude studies, I feel very infrequently does the nude study contribute to the story or the art. It is usually gratuitous and or exploitive. I generally won't shoot nudes unless the client is willing to pay extra or give me a compelling reason for it. Now...

Marwencol - The Documentary
A friend of mine got me a copy of this documentary on DVD as he thought I may be interested. Too right I am. What a remarkable story. If you did not hear about it go and just read it. It is one of the most amazing stories of becoming a photographer I have ever heard. Specially considering wh...

lens repairer
My DA*50-135 zoom needed a replacement auto focus motor. I sent it to SRS and they passed it on to Johnsons who did a good job on it. Its now back in service. David

Another UFO thread - Media Coverage
I think the surest sign that the life out there is intelligent is that they won't talk to us.:lol: There are several references in the Book, that hint towards extra terrestrial life... What occupied the space before He said "Let there be light"? mention of Angels. A passage where "others not...

Another UFO thread - Media Coverage
Do I believe in aliens? Yes, in an apparently infinite universe it's unthinkable that we're on the only planet with life. Do I believe in UFOs? Well given they're just something you don't recognise in the air it's a bit like believing in the postman - unnecessary and doesn't make your parcels tu...

Another UFO thread - Media Coverage
It probably explains ghost sightings too. And I have experienced it first hand, so I know how the brain can build a 3d surround-sound horror show from a few mis-cues! That's another interesting one. I have friends who are completely convinced of the existence of ghosts and won't even countenance ide...

Firefox 4 don't bother!
What utter rubbish..... loads of silly changes just for the sake of change. i.e. moving icons about so that you can't find them. Home Icon moved from left hand side of screen to right. No-Script icon moved from bottom right to top left. Page Tabs moved from below other bookmarks and toolbars to t...

Firefox 4 don't bother!
The green "go back" and "go forward" buttons have also gone replaced with grey ones that you can hardly see. I used to use that as a warning that I had gone forward a page and not onto a new tab. I've now gone back to v2 and the Fasterfox add-on which I've always missed because they never took it...

Firefox 4 don't bother!
It was discussed on here some time back that IE isn't fully colour managed..... one reason not to use it :shock: My right click to open goes back to Opera which had TWO options "Open and go to the TAB" or "Open hidden". The last one is the only one available in Firefox, you have to click the...

Firefox 4 don't bother!
Bummer! Glad I selected the Logitech Trackman Marble over the Marble Mouse, although I chose it for the thumb ball, because I couldn't live without middle click/scroll! Not a problem... click both buttons at once and use Ball to scroll. I don't want to switch tabs immediately. I prefer to let th...

Firefox 4 don't bother!
I've set this Samsung SyncMaster 971P (4x3) to 800x600 for the time being so that pics on this forum fill the screen. Not many monitors apart from CRC's handle 800x600 too good.... I can switch back to 1280x1024 when I need to. :lol: Samsung's resampling algorithms are pretty good - my Samsung TV re...

Firefox 4 don't bother!
FF2 allowed it so by the modern way of thinking not allowing it in FF3 is a Major Update...... Maybe FF4 hasn't got Bookmarks to simplify things :lol: This going back to v1.5 Style Close Tab is great..... you click the same place every time (CTRL+W does the same thing) I've just been looking at a...

OK here are my thoughts on this, today I have had an email from my agency telling me they are cutting back on concert photography because they can no longer sell it. The reason they can no longer sell is because magazines are snowed under with images from amateurs willing to give their work away for...

That would explain the irrelevant or just plain appalling images turning up on various news sites. Sadly, until everyone (and I mean Josh with his iphone who's just chuffed to get his photo on the telly) understands that images have a value and some people make their living that way the media out...

Not a Fan of Pentax?
I wouldn't mind one, but for a very esoteric and specific reason. As it can be programmed to leave the film leader out I could use it with my Rondinax daylight developing tank. (I know about the tools to pull the leader back out, but they seem more hassle than my current technique of using somet...

Not a Fan of Pentax?
I always think the P30T is much underrated in design terms. It feels right in the hands, doesn't weigh much, takes up very little room, will work with any lens from an SMC Pentax through to an FA-J and even the full frame DA lenses. Film loading is much the same as on the AF bodies of the era (drag ...
