Hello CanonFD. This is my first post here. I've been shooting an AE-1P for several months. Recently I just noticed the film advance lever has become really...
Does anyone know anything about an OLD light meter - a Toshiba Linear? I guy I worked with gave me a bag of photo stuff, NO FD lens (darn) but a Sigma Canon AF...
If it does not have a dome or cone, it must be a reflectance meter. If it does not have a viewing/targeting device, it is not likely a spot meter... Eric...
Has anyone had experience with this lens... Has a built-in lens shade and uses the old fd breech lock mount. I've heard very little about this lens. Is it...

I know you can store film virtually indefinitely if you keep it in the freezer but how long past its expiration date is it still good once it's out of the...
I once used a Kodak slide film (Ektachrome 100?) two years past its expiration date. It was stored (=forgotten) on a bookshelf in room temperature. I found no...
That depends on some factors, the temperature, how fresh the film was, the type of film, Professional or consumer and the time of course. And if it actually...
As I recall, these lenses were not made by B&L, but were marketed by them, and produced in the Far East. Bushnell was the low price label and I don't think...
The "professional or consumer" part here is misnomer for the most part. 99% of the time, they are the same emulsion, just stored differently in the supply...
I take care of the air tight issue and the moisture all at once. I use my vacuum-packer and vacuum pack all the film (in small batches) prior to freezing it....
Great idea......hadn't thought of this myself. I've got hundreds of rolls of film in the fridge and a vacuum packer...so thanks for the weekend project idea. ...

Hello, from the CanonFD group I have read you made comparation test of canon fd tele zooms, but I was not able to find any results. Currently I have the...
My current collection of FD lenses contain mostly prime lenses and I've been very happy with the sharpness of the lenses. I'd love to pick up an L lens but...
Some of the best corrected non-L lenses not on your list include the 24/2, the 200/2.8 IF and for a zoom the 35-105/3.5... The distortion on the 20-35 L is...
Hi, I recently bought a Canon FD 17/f4 over the net. It turned out to be a very old one (breech lock / without the lock button for the "A" mode). The lens...
I doubt very much that this lens is clean inside... what you are describing is one of the classic symptoms of internal haze/dust/dirt, which is not surprising...
The 135 f2 is probably one of the sharpest lenses I own. It's by far one of my favorites. Also, the 400mm 4.5 is way up there. Truthfully, I don't know why it ...
You've gotten some excellent advice from some "oldtime" contributors. The best of the zoom "L" lenses, that is still affordable, is the 80-200. That,...
Thats the combination I mainly use too - the 80-200/4L and the 35-105/3.5. If I need anything faster for low light, Then I will usually use the 50/1.4 or...
I have found the 200 2.8 (mine is bayonet lock) to be very sharp with nice color/contrast. It is an excellent lens for plays and concerts. Rob McClure ... R...
Thanks everyone for all the lens information. Since I already have the 24 f2.8ssc and 35-105 f3.5 I'll start looking for the 80-200 f4 lens. Has anyone used...
Under enlargement, substantially. Same for the 300/4 L. Do think about how important it is to have a zoom within this range relative to your shooting style. I...
