long weekend trip to Kerala, South India.
I want to use some slide film too (in addition to the regular Kodak
Gold 100 that is popular in this part of the world). I can manage
to get Elitechrome 100.

Hi,
I have a PZ-1 that is eating up batteries (probably I use the flash
quite often and leave the camera on once in a while). The batteries
are quite expensive in this part of the world (approx 5 times the
cost of a Kodak 100 print film), and I get only 6-8 rolls out of one.

Hi all,
I know discussing P&S is inviting the fury of brotherhood :), but I need
to help a friend in office who wants to buy a P&S with zoom ability.
My only experience with a P&S is a Olympus Epic that had a 28mm lens.
It was quite good.
Would somebody know about Pentax or other brands? A mid-
Thanks a lot Cotty. Your comments are much appreciated and I hope to improve

B&H lists two different types of film for most of the brand/specification.
One is marked "USA" and another "Imported." The price difference is
quite a lot, especially for print films. Are the imported films
markedly more inferior to the ones made in the USA? Or it doesn't

I am just a beginner, who hardly manages to take a few shots worth
showing to anybody so probably I should not comment. In any case, I would
say that I was awestruck! The pictures are just amazing and the navigation
is convenient, easy and intuitive. Great site. It just encourages me to
spend more
Extremely beautiful!! I really enjoyed them. I also looked at
some other pictures and particularly liked the sunset picture

Was wondering if you could give me some tips on capturing sunsets.
How did you meter it? What is the best time to
A "WTB" is probably against the charter of the mailing list, so I
apologize. But since I have seen a few WTB/FS postings, I will go
ahead and ask :)
Is anybody selling a ME Super with a 50mm or 28mm lens? I decided
to buy one after all. I am not in a hurry so would be looking to
get one in good c
