Ive been using a 1 GB Jessops CF card in my 350D since i bought it new 3 years ago. recently the camera has been having problems taking photos!! (which is a slight problem!) sometimes there will be a long delay, 3/4 seconds, between autofocusing and taking a shot. In manual, it just wont take a...

thanks for the help. i rekon scanning at 1200dpi might be the way forard for me. cheers

HI! just wondering if anyone call advise me on a good neg scanner. i used this massive nikon one a while back and it took for ever to scan the negs. is this just a general rule with neg scanners?? prehaps i was doing it wrong but it seemed to take silly time, (6 negs were taking half an...

thanks! dont worry my phone was in the kitchen. the thing is the ones on ebay seem to range from $6 to $150, which i dont understand.i understand that digital photography can be stupidly pricey but surely there cant be that much difference in 2 models.

......I really want one!!!! im using a Canon 350D, and have an old cable that links flash to camera - but it is unreliable...........and also gives me elecric shocks occassionaly!!!?? As im annoyed with it (and slightly scared) i want one of those wireless ones. 1) How do they work? 2)Which one...

thanks for all the help guys. the camera is an olympus om10, pretty basic really. i have had problems with a sticky shutter before but that was when winding on the film, and all seems to be fine now. my theory is that when i wound on the film i overwound it somehow so the first part of the film...

I've just started some home B&W development in a dark room/ bathroom, but i am having problems. ive got a few 36 rolls that i want to turn into negs but before i ruin them i thought id do some tester films. the actual development process is fine - i seem to have got all the chemicals, times etc...

hello, recently i have set up a small dark room in my mums bathroom (which she is not pleased about). Being pretty inexperienced at developing my own film, what is a nice CHEAP 35mm film to use? And more too the point where can i buy a load of it dirty cheap!? i've been using Ilford FP4, which...

thanks guys. a friend recommended a sigma dc lens ( 18 -125mm). its F/3.5 - 22. Anyone familiar with one of these? Regarding fstops in general is it best to go as low as possible for autofocusing in lowish lights, or is it more to do with the actual lens? im currently using a canon EFS lens...

Hi, I'm currently using a canon 350d, but the lens that came with it is really bad. I'm hopeing to find something that can auto focus in relativley low light - clubs, bars etc. I geuss the more i spend the better lens I can get, I'll probably buy second hand and my budget is between £100 -...
