Hello,
According to that B&H chart, the Elan 7 does not have AE lock.
Can this be true?

Maybe I am the only "old timer" on this list that has never used IS but I
wonder why so many put so much stock in I.S. I grow so very tired of
hearing about it. IS works! It has since its inception. It does a good job.
It allows a photographers at least a minimum of two stops slower shutter
speed
Hi all,
I have a friend who is strabic, and he just can focus in left square of
his Ellan IIe, but he is using it as a composition feature..
I think he is happy with the results...

With my IIE, the ECF worked very well in the horizontal position, but was
very erratic in the vertical position. However, I wear a pair of bifocals,
and I think in the vertical position there may be a problem with viewfinder
overlapping the "line" or the lens area where your eyebrows marr the l

As we can see Nikon is also very interested by "marketing arguments", and

When you press the DOF preview button (EOS-3 and EOS-1V only), the speedlite "strobes"

Hello all. My name is Tom Cavallo and I have been receiving the Digest for a

And how useful in non-studio situations is the modeling light function?

A while back the L.L. Rue online catalog had an adapter that allowed use of
Nikon lenses on Canon bodies. It was purely manual and all lens-body
communication was lost. I don't see the adapter on their web site anymore.
Does anyone know where I could get such an item, or even better, one that
do
Anyone can tell me if the new EOS 3 comes already with the new CF for use
with the new IS super teles, or I need to make its upgrade.
