Here in Canada, every lab I've ever used (pro, 1-hour, department store) offers 8x12s as well as 8x10s. I used to crop my shots sort of tightly, but now I usually shoot with 8x10 proportions in mind. Even so, I often order an 8x12 print and cut it myself, so I get the exact cropping I want.

I get it! You use Vegamite because it is healthy. Then you add a lot of fat to make it taste good. I have a friend like that. Won't eat meat. Loves imitation hamburgers, hot dogs, etc. I figure that if I ate heathy I would live longer, longer than I would want to anyway (grin). -- Tanya

You need to go look in the archive at a discussion a couple of weeks ago. Because of the 'film' size on the *ist-D (aka the 'magnification factor), a slide duplicator forces you to crop your image. To get a full frame slide onto digital we need about a .75:1 rather than a 1:1 - 1:2 IIRC

The ME will only set the shutter speed if you use a Pentax dedicated flash. The Vivitar 285 is not a dedicated flash. Neither the ME, nor the 285 are TTL capable. Use the 100X setting, or slower. Set the f-stop to one suggested on the flash dial, and the flash to that also. -- Peter J. Alling
