"Tungsten" in this usage refers to photo floods with a tungsten (the metal) element that have a specific colour temperature (3200 K)

Consumer light-bulbs can (and do) vary very greatly in their specified output (anywhere from 2600 K to 3500 K at 110 volts), and if the input voltage on the lamp varies (anywhere from 104 to 121 volts as reported by my UPS), there will be a corresponding difference and/or fluctuation in the colour of the light...

I may never eat souvlaki again. Thanks...

Amazing photos - I've always found the mantids fascinating...

I know several are looking for this and noticed it on eBay :

"It's not a bug - it's a feature."

'cause everyone knows Pentax's jpegs just don't 'pop' like the other cameras do...

(Sorry - couldn't resist - hope you get it sorted...)

Hmmmm... I've been looking at the F50 and/or FA50 1.7's as they have a flatter field of focus (they say) and I would be using it more for copy work as much as anything else, but if they all have the plastic front end...

Does the FA50 1.7 have the same metal front ring as the FA50 1.4?

Could either of you post a link ffor the site you mention - apparently my googling skills aren't up to the task today

I thought that was just a Kodak film thing (unless that's the brand Jessops is selling )

The link for film in my previous post has some info on the cassette issues...

Mac - I love my 110, but haven't actually used it in a few years - other than taking it out and exercising the shutter (without film) once or twice a year...

I've purchased 110 from this guy (he's in Alberta...) when I couldn't find it locally : http://www.frugalphotographer.com/cat110.htm

but a lot of non-chain camera stores may have old stock, and as long as it's been kept cold (or even better - frozen) it should still take a good image...

and processing info here : http://www.frugalphotographer.com/catLabServices.htm

but these guys are closer to you : http://www.photo-maitre.com/ (I think - my french is rusty...)

I used to get mine done at Throop Imaging when I lived in Ottawa : http://throopphoto.fotosource.com/

I suspect that even the stores that say they process 110 may be mailing their stuff out now...

Good luck

I've been looking at this stuff for a few days, but thought I'd see if anyone here had any (related ) opinions?

I'm going to be buying a GPS receiver and thought that I might as well get one that I could use for putting GPS info into my exif's as well as navigation.

It's all done after the fact with software, so the only real requirement is that it logs the "records" for later integration with the photos... This can be done with software, but there are purpose-made devices that log them all to be downloaded when you get home from wherever...

The other requirements I have are simple - it needs to be small ((the smaller the better) and Bluetooth capable (to talk to my PC and PDA)

Anyone here doing this already? Any suggestions?

What about the program to actually tag the photos - what have others used?

TIA,
Jamie

I use Elements too, nd have d/l'd ACR but have not yet been able to integrate it into Elements like I understood was possible. I was under the impression that it could be done in such a way so as to allow PEF or DNG files to be opened in Elements, rather than using ACR as a stand-alone...

I've probably skipped a small but vital step in the process... could someone provide a link or set of instructions on how to do this?

Thanks...
