Alright,
Just received a box from KEH, and boy, am I happy! Three items were
in the box, all in condition that I consider absolutely wonderful.
First off, I got a case for my 500/4.5. This was said to be in Ugly
condition. The cap on my last one had come off, and I couldn't see
Fred,
Thanks for your help. Thanks to the pictures and instructions, I
have just ground off the necessary bits of extra flange using a
dremmel, and have maintained the condition of my lens. I guess this
mod means it's no longer Like New, but fits great on the *ist D now.

My question may be: Is there a hack in the ebay system that allows
buyers to trick ebay into thinking they won a BIN when it wasn't BIN?
Second question: Did you examine the headers of the email to be sure
they came from ebay?

An interesting comparison chart . . . but there is one problem:
The ist D doesn't do ISO 3200 and yet they are reporting values for it.
Shouldn't they be reporting 3200 as N/A? A quick scan of the text
doesn't indicate why.

Hey gang,
Putting together a bag for my ist D (this may be interesting to
those with film vivitar lenses), and was trying out various lenses.
Trying to put on my Vivitar Series 1 90-180mm Flat Field, I found the

Hi all,
I have a 67 Remote Battery Cord that's doing nothing. I bought it a
while ago when I was thinking of doing 67, and forgot about it when I
sold my 67 stuff. I never used it. Comes in a very worn box. Make me
an offer.

Hello all,
I just downloaded and installed the update for *ist D 1.10. When
you follow the instructions and push on the green button, the aperture

Tell me the name of 1 native windows program that automatically

I like how it says you can even put a roll of film in it to take
pictures . . . what kind of idiot would write that about a demo camera

Just a note, we have seen camera's like this before on this list. I
forgot EXACTLY who used it (salesmen or tradespeople), but
Personally, I would go for 2 x 1 gig cards. My experience is that a
card will sometimes become corrupt and need a computer to reformat it.
That way you always have a 'backup' card that isn't full.

The problem, though, with believing that every iPod comes with an 18

with one particular example of the model. Just like lens test reports,

Here's a thought, instead of getting a portable HD which has moving

you have critics because what you have posted is a piece of art. My
