Film equipment is so inexpensive these days, even rather rare stuff that
you might be better off buying a new body and keeping the one with the

I've never had exactly that experience with a camera, but I've had
massive discharges from batteries when a dead short developed in a
circuit. I'd be wary of any device that did that once. Those types of
problems seldom fix themselves.

excellent! You found a good specimen with great markings. Great catch on

Alan,
That's a good start! Have you tried sitting still for a half hour
while they get used to you?
Set-up on a tripod with a long cable release and pre-focus. Easier
now as you don't waste film.
Also, small mammals might be eating your seeds as well. Squirrels and
racoons here.

Especially nice collection Christine. Bob S.

Alan, I like the second and third shots--nice composition and detail.
In the first shot, the very bright seed reservoir along the left is
distracting; and the far bird is either too sharp or too blurry.
Sensor speed, latitude and noise were the reasons I bought a K-5 just a year

Very nice for your first attempt, Christine. I'd suggest a portrait

You're certainly getting nice detail, Alan. This is good work.
I've had a bit of luck attaching natural material to a feeder and, of course,

Hi Alan: I love the 3rd one, such pretty color and you got a good look.
Unfortunately, I’m not a birder; I think I’ve taken one shot of one Cardinal in
