    Re: A question on FS rule enforcement

    So the lesson here is pretty clear. If you post in the classified section, you are of a lower status member and can expect to be treated as such.

    No. absolutely not. In fact when stopped down to f/8 or f/11, the 90mm f/6.8 Angulon is very sharp indeed. It is a very compact and light weight lens - a favorite of backpackers and Photo...

  19. Re: Is there adequately protective flight case that can protect an ULF camera checked

    I use a pelican case....a big, bright yellow one - too big to carry on though. It has room for the 8x10 camera and two lenses mount on lens boards. Never have I had any issues or concerns.
  20. Re: Fumbling towards a correct exposure for Dry Plates

    100 = 2^6.644
