By the way, did I mention that one of my EBay auctions went *nuts* after I started taking djklmnop's photography advice? Woo hoo!!!

I bet, that's why andy's so successful at fetching high prices for his wares on ebay

Photography actually a bigger hobby of mine than audio.

Audio is cheap, comparing to photography.

Been doing it since about 10 years old.

World Peace.

Me too... I've been interested in this hobby for over 20 years now.

Santa just brought me a new Nikon F100 system for Christmas

Happy Holidays Everyone.

Sweet Jesus! An F100?? Have you taken it out for a test drive yet? That F100 sure can take a beating.. What do you have in mind for it?

I might be getting myself a Toyo 45cf sometime next year, I can't wait.

Whoaaa!!! I'm not worthy enough to try out the large format yet. Right now, I'm sticking with medium and 35mm format, no digital for me.

I use the medium format for portrait in my studio, 35mm for candid shot and wedding photography.

Tested out my F100 today and I've to say that I really like this body much more than the F5. Autofocus is quick and sharp and it's not big and bulky like the F5.

I don't know anything much about photography, but... I do have a copy of Ansel Adam's book "the camera" which was recommended by Mithril on the chat room. Very educational, about how the large format cameras work. Now when I look at some of his photos I have a much better appreciation of how the photos are taken.

Hey John,

You should check out this website:

E-6/Slide/Reversal film develops out as a direct positive rather than conventional negatives.

Ah.. with slides the film becomes the slide, which is positive... doh!!

Good stuff, thanks for the link Andy
