Enough of us to point out the problems inherent in your (quite frankly tiresome and arrogant) insistence that the way *you* happen to want to use your camera is the only way that any sentient being could possibly consider. You're by no means the first poster to storm onto this list and, without ev

Infrared Techniques Questions

I have been playing with the R72 Filter and my istDL. I don't like the color results so I convert to greyscale and print. I find that I get my best results by placing the camera on a tripod, doing a custom white balance (with filter in place!), shoot at 800 or 1600, and use f8 or smaller if poss

They didn't use it because the 4/3 system is part of a Kodak consortium, of the same type that brought us APS film,.and to a lesser extent the "New" 110, and 126 cartridge films from he 60's and 70's. Olympus had to work within that framework. Adam Maas wrote: >I do kinda wonder why they didn

Actually, I've enjoyed reading the dpreview "reviews" with particular interest in the image comparisons and associated comments. My naive thinking is that the value of any opinion is only gained if listened to with an open mind. Jack --- Paul Stenquist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Problem is,

Re: PESO - New Yorker DeLuxe

Hi Paul ... Thanks for your comments. It's a '55 - might well have been a 354 ... I see what you mean about a little trim on the left - it might work. The "pipes", if I'm thinking of the same thing you are, are trees. I thought about getting rid of 'em, and I may do away with the most offensive

Re: PESO - New Yorker DeLuxe
