I see that the Pentax patent is similar to Nikon's implementation of the IS
feature. This means that it should work at approximately one stop slower
shutter speed than Canon's IS - about three stop worth is gained as opposed
to Canon's two.

I could not resist this one on Ebay:
a Pentax / Yashica 90-230 f4.5 Zoom *minty*.
It had 30secs to run and I got it for $31 US plus shipping. What I liked was
the tripod collar. My kids can use it on their SP's, with 2x converter and

You can use 125/s sync, but AUTO will sort it all out automatically.
There are situations where putting the flash in non-TTL can be
helpful, like if you`re taking a snapshot of family eating dinner

It's surprising how small a premium you pay to get the extra speed (and hence ease of

The Optio 430 can 'take' in b&w,colour and sepia.
I got into trouble with my S.O. because I forgot to set it back to colour
once!

Yes, Bill, it's the Domke F-803 that I often tout, but it is a somewhat
limited bag. It's not that good for carrying large, or "chunky"
cameras with big lenses, and, for some situations, it can be a difficult
bag to work out of. It's not the bag to use if you want to travel with
a few bodies an

Well, Ryan, it seems to me that the AT-X 150-500/5.6 is just not as
good a lens as is the AT-X 100-300/4 (which is superb). (However,

First let me say that I would never dismiss color as a lesser form of
photography. I've only recently got into B&W and I must say I'm having a
blast. I am terrible at candid/street photography but really enjoy shooting
portraits of my wife (the happless victim...) in B&W (I'll post them on my

Like Aaron, I had one and sold it. My evaluation:
+) Very useful zoom range
+) Great build quality
+) Relatively fast F4.0 at 135mm
+) Balances well with LX and Winder
+) Nice image quality
-) Heavy
-) Poor close focus ("macro mode" only at 28mm)
-) Big front element (requires huge ho

Predictive AF would be usefull for racing photography because it keeps a
moving subject in focus as the shutter is tripped. Trap focus could be
usefull as well in racing because you could set the focus on a pre-determined
part of the track and the shutter will trip automagically when
Now that you mention it. What requirements are served by the 645 family better
than the 6x7 family and vice versa..?

Welcome to the list, Rachel. You didn't mention what your macro subjects
would be, but if you're interested in nature-related subjects I highly
recommend John Shaw's "John Shaw's Closeups In Nature" (ISBN 0817440526).
Mr. Shaw's treatment of nature macro photography is to the point and easy to
