----------------------------- FLASHES >I tried Nikon URL but unable to find detail information on SB-26 >and SB-28. >I am thinking of getting one more flash unit but can't make >decision between these two yet. >One nice thing about SB-26, I heard, is built in slave function >which SB-28 doesn't have. >Could anyone give me an advise which one to choose? Get the 26. I have a used one and dealers offer to swap me straight across for the 28, new. They know something. ----------------------------- NIKON DENIM >If anyone is interested they can email Randy Zack at >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >for pricing info. He sells denim shirts, polo shirts, t-shirts, base >ball hats, and sweat shirts. The clothing I received has Nikon >Professional Photographer on them but he will also put the Nikon F5 >logo. BTW, he also told me that he will have a light weight jacket soon >which I will have to order for my wife. I bought a denimshirt from him on Ebay. It is worth every penny! ------------------------------ PRICE VS. QUALITY >on actually, does anybody know why there is such a big price >difference between the Sigma 14 f2.8 and Tamron 14 f2.8? According to >Chasseur d'Image the sigma is very good, would the Tamron be 1.5 times >better? 1.5x the price does not mean 1.5x the quality, it usually means 1.01 times the quality. By the time prices really start rising you end up with only a little bit better, but for folks who insist on the best, it is worth it. I would get the cheaper one because this is not a lens I would use often enough to justify the expense. ----------------------------- DX >DX coding can also be used to determine if the film is slide or print. I've >heard that DX coding is also used by labs to determine what channel should be >used, so it seems probable that even more information may be conveyed by DX >codes. The silver dots on the cartridge tell what speed the film is and how many exposures there are. The bar code tells the film type. Robert in Redlands
