Since it was me that brought up the infamous Lada (joking, though I was), I'll
briefly comment on the North American experience of these cars, along with the
Niva.
The Lada was probably the cheapest car available in Canada when it was
introduced, and it sold well. They didn't blow up or anything,
Just to point out that currently there are NO labs in
the UK to process scala, it has to be sent to France

I love scala, I use it for landscapes, townscapes,
macro, etc, rated at 100 - for my taste 200 sacrifices
too much shadow detail. Scala scans particularly well
with a scanner which can handle its density range - I
use Minolta Scan Multi Pro - and produces exceptional
results.

True, but I don't see the *ist D as a knock-off of the F80. It shares
some design similarities, but it's a very different camera. Obviously the
people who always buy Nikon aren't going to be swayed, but for those who
are still undecided, a vaguely user-friendly interface should be a plus.

Pentax could make a knock off of the N80 and it wouldn't sell any better
than any other model, because it is still missing the most important
thing, and that is NIKON on the front. Nikon put in the time, effort and

There is no set formula. A rule of thumb would be to start 1 stop
down for shadow fill and 2 stops down for catchlights. The more soft
and diffused your main light source, the less fill you need.
If you are using a camera that does not have exposure compensation,
just don't use TTL mode on the f

I've certainly never seen one, except for the "1-2 stops" general
guideline. More of a matter of trying it to see. Bracket your fill flash

Now, my question is: does anyone now of a cheap way to get a FG-grip in the Netherlands? Mail order from B&H Photo still costs over $70,- and I'm on a tight budget, being a student and all.

Boris,
I am suprised that you aren't happy with the ZX-L and AF220T. I use
that combination for all my indoor flash shots, and I am very pleased
with the results.
First of all I need to acknowledge Bruce Dayton's help in improving my
flash shots. He is a great resource for flash questions.
OK this has been such a week here on the list, now
hopefully the little skirmish is over, I hope.
