HI All,
I know there was a loupe talk here not too long ago, but one question I have,
I couldn't find answer in archives to.
Question is which loupe is better - 4x or 8x?
I know 8x will give more detail, but will it cover entire 35mm slide? Or do I
have to move it around? Will a good 8x loupe (l
I actually get really good results with the 550EX and Elan IIe. I also heard
that Nikon has a patent in terms of using distant information for flashes.
ANyone to verify this?

Hello,
Does Canon make a eyepiece magnifier that will fit the D30? I saw
references to a "Magnifier S" at B&H in listings for adapters, but no
listing for the actual Magnifer.
Do they make one? Where can I get one?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi all,
I recently purchased an EF100-400 L IS zoom and am loving the
versatility of it. I also own a EF300mm f/4 L IS and am considering
selling it (even though it is my favorite lens) since it seems
extraneous with the new zoom. What I'm wondering is if there is someone

If you get the Cokin P system you will have to cut off the outer two slots to
prevent vignetting on the 19-35. If I remember correctly the Cokin polarizer
will vignette. I have not been able to find a polarizer that will not vignette
on this lens.

The 20-35 2.8L was the predecessor to the 17-35. It's
been discontinued since the 17-35 came out, but is
