Re: Film and Development

My lab is using Fuji Frontier exclusively because they aren't willing to expend resources maintaining their optical equipment. The Frontier is new and they get better contract support right now. I would guess that using the Frontier makes their life easier also??? For the most part I like the

Re: another mishap

I have the Tamron 70-300 LD Macro (62mm filter size). It has great bokeh. It goes 1:2 macro from 180mm to 300mm. Sells for less than $200.00 new at BH and Adorama if they still stock. You may find it used at KEH. It is a light lens which does not suffer from bad zoom creep. Robert - Original

Re: Advice on lens I purchased

I expect Adorama to treat you well. A friend of mine got a used Pentax 50mm F macro from them when she was supposed to get an FA. They made it right. Sent her a beautiful used FA. I just got a demo MZ-S from them. No problems so far. They are a class act. I would expect few problems from them.
