  1. Re: 2CR5 6v battery for the Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2

    Fry's electronics normally stock the Sony Brand for 4.95/5.95. I use these in a Contax 645 and they last as well as other brands, not sure about the transmitter use.

  3. Re: Buy Speedlite 580EX II now or wait for next new model

    The 580EX II is a buy it now and use it. The assumption is that newer units are always better but not in every respect, it may not interface with older ( or your camera) as well as it's contemporary...

    Re: 8 x 12, 10 x 15, 12 x 18 picture frames

    Do I feel "old" now, I still shot 645 with an "old" Contax. There is an enterprise in Canada that is in the process of making an adapter for the "old" Contax 645 lenses to be used on Canon bodies...

    Re: 8 x 12, 10 x 15, 12 x 18 picture frames

    Sounds like a good oppurtunity for an entrepreneur. I have been thinking of making my own frames, custom for each photo and then the constraints of size wouldn't matter, if the picture is 15" x 36"...

    Re: unbelievable

    Nice post Mark, it is refreshing to be on this forum that is truly helpful. The unnamed forum is worthwhile if you can wade through the myriad of unhelpful (nice for mean downright nasty) posts....

    Re: Zeiss for Canon ... once more

    You have to love all the choices in photography we have today, maybe Leica will jump in at some point and make their optics available for Canon, Nikon etc.

    Re: My first picture with my new XSI

    That will make a nice framed picture. My first shots are usually of my clock in the study where I am reading the instruction book, yours is much better. Have fun.

    Re: Rechargable Batteries

    I third the eneloops. Been using them for a year and they stay charged for months if not used, other rechargables are always dead if not charged prior to use and get worse with age. Combine these...

    Re: Canon 430EX II Speedlite Flash Review

    Very nice flash in a smaller package than the 580EX II. Not sure why Canon choose not to enable this as a master strobe in their wireless system, it would be nice to have a smaller strobe on camera...

    Adam,


    After reading the review of the 135L I am leaning toward it also, but having used the 70-200 lens it is very very tempting also, decisions, decisions.....lots of time to think this one out...

    Re: Hyperfocal Distance and Depth of Field

    It is rare for a zoom lens to have any depth of field markings that will be worthwhile, Nikon used to provide these on some of their push-pull zooms of 1960-1980's but they were not entirely...

    Re: Zeiss 85mm f/1.4 ZE Planar T* Lens Review

    Sharpness is not the only measure of lens quality. I have been using this lens on a Nikon (the ZF 85mm) for over a year now and I have never been disappointed with it in any way. At the time of...
