What are some of your projects where you used
cleverness to make something for a couple of bucks
rather than spending a lot more to get it ready made?
No pics, and only a pinch of cleverness involved:
I recently converted a rear lens cap into an adapter

hey, don't zoom in on it...
We got to get to the root of it, Ecke.
you mean you need to get your rear element checked?
Never mind the quality, feel the focal length.

Lord Ducttape is far too modest.
Knew you would mention that incident, lord Spud Cannon.
You remember what the tape substituted? A DIY reversal ring made from
two Cokin adapters glued together by epoxy. The silly thing about that
is that two Cokin

Dave Metz of Sigma was interviewed on This Week in Photography
(episode 191) and made an interesting statement. He said that all of
the lens makers get their glass from Hoya. The difference is in the
grinding and coating. (He did say that Canon and

If it's any comfort, I can admit to the same mistake myself. More than
once, too... :-)
I now forward particularly interesting mails to a different account to
take them out of the conversation flow.

Hello All,

I will be shooting raw.

Any point in carrying a film camera? (Better rendition of snow?)
In light of the first, the answer to the latter is no. :-)
In addition, I find that Pentax DSLRs expose conservatively in snowy

for now, yes, bring a supply of large ziploc bags. whenever going from
cold to warm, put your gear in a ziploc first so as to reduce/avoid
condensation. let gear warm before opening the bag.
I agree.
In practice, however, I tend to just let the camera

Why could it be wise to take the memory card out first. I sure haven't
been doing that. In fact, the little PS has
a 4 gig card in it I've never removed (ok, so I've only had the camera a
coule of months)
It's just for the impatient, Ann. For

I'd like to upload from the ist D but I can't make it work - don't know if
