However, I would like to get a hard copy and the shop process my slides told me there is no longer any printing shop does direct printing for slide film. As this is my first attempt to slide film, can someone kind enough to direct...

    Buying lenses from the net

    :thumbsup: Correct, you need to pay the 4% GST for your purchase if declared value >S$400.00. The S$400.00 also include the shipping charges quoted by online retailer. Most online retailer like BHPhoto or Adorama will not declare a lower value in order for you not to pay local tax. For most...

    EF lenses in US?

    If you want really cheap, cheaper than bhphoto and adorama, this website will freak you out http://www.hotbuyselectronics.com But be very careful dealing with them, got tons of bad publicity on this website but some find it worthwhile. Some say their price is low but increase the freight...

    WTB: Astronomy telescope

    Don't buy anything yet. I suggest you attend some of the observation before making any decision. Join Yahoo group "Singastro" for details or talk to Starman first. Real astrophotography can cost you an arm and leg plus all the sleepless night before you get any decent picture.

    Moon and Mars on 27th August.

    I think he got a friend working in NASA. The image was created from over 100 images of Mars taken by Viking Orbitters in 1970s.

    public wireless internet

    Make a mistake on my previous post. For Cisco Aironet, the SSID should be left blank, don't key anything for wildcard access. Will be able to accesss without the need to know the SSID, provided the encryption is turn off in the base station. Sorry for the mistake.

    Anyone own the 80-400 Vr lens?

    80-400mm zoom speed is slow in D100, but not D1x. You need a fast body.

    On the subject of CompactFlash, you do need to take note 1 thing. It might not be important to some camera but others do. All CompactFlash is not make alike. There is a speed issue. Price generally differ in brand and speed(Read/Write). For example, Sandisk has 2 models for same capacity, normal...

    Front Clear, back blur or vice versa.

    I totally agreed. I got G2, take same shot, same place, but compare to a SLR, bo-shui "bokeh". No matter how hard I try. I guess that's why SLR has better performance when it comes down to performance in trying to get that extra mileage.:cry:
