Having recently had some disappointment with a Tamron lens i purchased 10days ago - I would see if your local shop would allow you take take a few shots on different lens and compare on a laptop - I did this yesterday with a Tamron zoom, canon zoom, and L lens (which was way outside my price range) but thought maybe good as a bench mark - i saw an immediate difference between the Tamron 17-270 ...

Got going back in early sixties,my dad and uncle would spend hours in their darkroom (AKA mums bathroom) hand tinting negatives I loved watching the print emerging in the dishes. Dad took me to a Russian trade show at earls court and I ended up with a russian twin lens reflex, cant remember the make wish i still had it might be worth a bob or two. Had various cameras over the years Rollieflex...

Hugo, Thanks for your PM, and also what you have posted here. Forgot all about mrcad. The break on the battery holder is clean and may well be sorted out with a bit superglue. I can still load batteries and insert the large part of the holder, then place the small locking piece in place and then lock, and it still works. On Wikipedia yesterday pm and there is mention of the T90 battery holde...

I do happen to have a bottle of wine next to me but thats your mind not my drunken ramblings hahaha.

Yes, same lens on all shots, the one it came with. I took it back today, and while I was in the store a lady was packing another 3100 that had been returned. I was asked what I wanted to do so opted for the Canon 500D. I am certain Nikon are great cameras, but for me the whole episode has been a nightmare. I shall take some pictures tomorrow on identical settings with identical subjects and ...

Hi, Thanks all for the advice. However if all else fails I've just found out that new focus screens can be purchased from nikon spares, so thats a safety net if disaster strikes. (lol). Thanks again Phil

Thanks Thincat, duly noted. Now I don't need to make a fool of myself getting the wrong lens. Oh which shall I choose first?

Jacqui I have loads of slides going back a good 40 years and yes they are in pretty good condition, especially the Kodachrome. The colours are much as they were on the day they were taken. However, as soon as you digitise them I can guarantee that they will be tweaked. They nearly all need it. Nice link! Malcolm

Good morning Keith and welcome to EPZ. There are lots of friendly people on here if youy need any help. Adam

By the way LenShepherd, thank you for the link, very useful to me!!!;)

Look forward to seeing your work Joel.

Just change the camera's USB connection mode (menu > params 2 > communication): choose "Print/PTP" instead of "PC". Hope it helps. I've just followed this advice and it works - simple. Many thanks

Welcome...you sound as though you know what you are doing but there's plenty of help (on any subject) should you need it. :-)

I have an EM complete with E series 28mm f2.8, 50mm f1.8 and 70 -150mm f/3.5 and winder, all in mint condition. Been in the cupboard for yonks but I am experimenting with using it for IR using the Rollei 400IR film and Ilford SFX gel filter. Reckon to use external meter and cable release on 'B' setting. (tripod of course). A pity it hasn't got independant shutter speed control. If I can't make ...
