Jim, Sorry to hear you're having a problem with your A1. The person I use for services & repairs is Michael Spencer -www.camerarepairs-r-us.co.uk ( email is...
Good to hear someone else confirm the results. With prices of FD equipment at one of their lowest levels ...it makes no sense to sell one and keep the...
Mark had stated in an earlier post how nice it was to actually talk about FD stuff. Mark it is good to talk about FD stuff , I will admit that alot of what is...
Half the size of the Hubble and half the price, I'll bet:) Can you imagine the mount needed to support that monster? I can get close to that magnification with...
Interesting oddity. I wonder which model of weapons carrier he will use to drag this thing on Safari. I'd laugh my assoff if the majority of the time his...
There's a sultan or emir somewhere over there who's well known for owning *two* copies of the EF 1200mm f/5.6L. Wonder if this is the same guy. Ken ... Ken...
The discussion on Photo.net seemed to indicate that this was a medium format lens. With that being the case, it doesn't get you quite the same amount of...
... Good point Ben if you use the down and dirty how many time what is considered normal focal length to divide this puppy out. if an 80mm lens on a 6X6 format...
The dpreview picture does show it with a Hassy hanging off it. Yeah, that tiny little block was a whole Hasselblad! Gives a good idea how huge it is. In...
... Thanks to all - Yes, I did mean Alexandria, VA -- oops... and I did go to Penn Camera, and will wait now for the 6-8 weeks before it returns... Luckily I...
Thanks, Patrick. I went to my local Camera store and they swear the repair shop they use is great. (What else WOULD they say?) So I left it, am crossing my...
Thanks Mark. I understand that from a bird photographers viewpoint a 300mm lense is too short. I don't shoot birds or much wildlife. I was looking at the 300mm...
Hmmm... I'm sure that even KEH.Com had nFD 17mm f4's a lot cheaper than that - and a lot lighter! Oh... 17 *HUNDRED* f4! I guess it's easily hand-held. For...
HI Jim, Have you looked at this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=002&item=120036137850&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 I can't vouch...
I agree with Mark, the 400mm FDn is a keeper. At the same point in time I owned 400mm FDn, 400mm SSC, and 400mm 2.8L. I choose to keep the 400mm FDn and have...
I also agree with Mark. The 400mm would be a more desirable option. A 400/2.8 is pretty high on my "To-Get-List" (one day). I believe that it's the most...
... Thanks to all. I agree the Tokina is very interesting spec wise. I usually want to see, hold and examine a lense before I buy it. I guess I'd like to hear...
Tokina had no built in slide in and out hood. Tokina has converters that are specific to this lens. I am pretty sure the tokina originally came with all these...
Hy everyone. I'm Stevan, from Brazil. This is my fisrt post, but I'm reading many stuffs here with you. And here is my first question: Does anybody know the...
Thank you. What other lenses were on the list of jewels?? Is that list somewhere to be found and looked at? Thanks Jim ... converters ... in ... always ... ...
Bobby used to wheel and deal FD and 20 years ago he shot FD professionally I think. His 400mm 4.5 US Navy issue is the only glass I got from him. I think he's...
... All lenses (possibly except one) are too short from a bird photographers viewpoint :) The 300/4L I owned was amazing to say the least, highly recommended....
