    How do you stop your neighbour from smoking and blowing the smoke into my home?

    have a frank and open talk on the subject and tell him that it is affected you. otherwise, there is little that you can do than to take appropriate 'defensive' measures.

    Which MF?

    tessar is a 4-element lens. the planar has five to seven elements. there are also sonnar, distagon, biogon, variogon etc. due to the small number of elements, tessar lenses are compact in size.

    BRONICA SQ-A need help...

    tried both the bronica SQAi and SQB before. both are very easy to use. a user manual is probably unnecessary. like keltzar has said, loading is a breeze. shooting is a breeze too. plus the shutter of both the SQAi and SQB is battery operated, so bring fresh spare batteries with you when shoot.

    Resonablely priced (aka cheap) Medium Format camera?

    hasselblad focusing screen

    i would recommend the acute matte screen with split rings and micro prism for it versatility for all kinds of work. like neo and nescafe had said, you cannot diy the screen change. the local agent should be able to do it for a small fee (actually the job is no big deal).

    Which MF?

    wiseguy, agree with dreamseeker. you can arrange with the seller for a trial shoot to assess if the lens are aligned.
