RE: gels in Australia

Kevin, I just buy all of mine from B&H online. Photocontinental (07-3849 4422) has some but is very limited with choices, and you could maybe try Vanbar too (you can buy online from them http://www.vanbar.com.au but they have more of a range in their warehouse than what they offer online, if they

Old K mounts at town festival

At yesterday's town festival, I was shooting beside a woman with a compact digicam. She took an interest in my gear. "This digicam" (a Kodak) has 6.1 megapixels. But I still like to use my SLR." "What is it?" "Oh, not much; a Sears." I explained that I own and love two Sears KS Auto bodies, wh

Fisheye-Only Shooting of a Small Town Festival

Tape seems so much easier than the card trick, however, quite a few photogs have blacked out the print on their lenses with a sharpie. Apart from any practical aspects, they look rather nice, too. BTW, concerning dressing in black. I've found that it's helpful to wear dark colors when working in

RE: IST D and Pentax-F 1.7x AF adapter

Yep! I never figured out the three different sets of custom settings Square 1, 2 and 3 ???. My German manual doesn't seem to mention this. Perhaps this came with the firmware 1.11 ?? Anyway, I believe, I may have switched from square 1 to square 2, without noticing, thus getting a whole new set-up.

gels in Australia

Does anybody know of an outlet for gels (for flash) in Australia? Lastolite dealer or similar? Also looking for scrims, diffusers etc. I have poked about, but nothing really. Nobody seems to have a good selection, just bits and pieces. Kind regards Kevin - __
