Hi all,
One of my older bodies is developing a problem: the foam where the mirror
rests while in the up position is becoming sticky (this is not the LX
sticky-mirror problem).
Can anyone help me with the following:
1. What is a suitable replacements material?
2. Are there any sourses of such

Great gallery, as usual. Congrats to everyone involved.
Of the many good submissions this month, here are a baker's dozen of my
entirely subjective favorites (not ranked or ordered):

Simular to what Bill suggested, take the camera, a flash, and no lens into
a dark room. Set it to 1/125, open the back, and fire at the wall, and if
it's working right you should see a full 35mm frame when the flash fires.

Hi Bob & Cy,
Don't know. The mirror appears to be hitting the foam everytime I trip the
shutter, but I can't gauge if it is too fast or too slow. The foam looks
fine. The mirror has a little dust on it and, possibly, may sit a fraction
of a millimeter higher on one side in the down position but t

Hi everybody,
Since I started taking more "serious" photos and discovered this list,
reading the PDML became a very important and pleasant part of my daily
routine. I used to read tons of e-mails everyday, and when a new PUG Gallery
was released, particularly on a Friday night, there would be a c
I would definitely reccommend
taking a 300mm f4.5 if you can, along with a teleconvertor for the animal shots.
For Denali you can get a lot with a 70 - 210mm zoom. A 20mm or so wide angle is
also very useful. If you don't take a long lens to Katmai you'll miss a lot. You
don't need any more
I'm to the point where I'd like to begin using dual
flash techniques for some of my photography, so some
questions naturally arise that I hope some of you can
answer here. Right now I have the AF 330FTZ and will
soon be adding more flashes to my system (500 or the
new 360 depending on many factors

A slow mirror would put the black band on the bottom of the image, not the
top.
I suspect the 2 shutter blade sets (open and close) are having problems.

I've been shooting a lot of bands lately. Here's my advice:
1) Try to check out the bar's stage lighting before the event. In
general, stages tend to be darker than one expects, so use faster
film and shorter, faster lenses. Stage lights tend to create more
contrast than illumination.
2) Spot me
