Jan. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Fuji Photo Film Co., the world's fifth-biggest digital camera maker, will eliminate 5,000 jobs and shift some production to China from...
The quote from Hiroshi Chano is non-sensical. Fuji's hurting badly in the digital space, which is the reason for the cuts (It's digicam production that is...
Great analysis, Adam. The original post said in part, ... Do they mean Konica-Minolta is exiting the FILM camera business (like most) or that they will make no...
... =============================================== No more cameras at all. Konica kept the office supply and industrial divisions and sold the camera...
... There was no doubt that Minolta was the "weak player" in the deal. As to the final result, I don't know if that was the original intent. It is strange for...
Unsurprising, Konica's gotten out of the camera business at least twice. This time they're getting out of all related businesses. Their film, chemical and...
Yeah. The Auto Reflex T was almost a good idea, (shutter priority for amateurs) but it was a mechanical monster. (You pick the shutter speed, the camera...
Well, there was the Hexar RF in the late 90's. Really nice little rangefinder. That and the early 90's Hexar AF (Quietest 35mm camera ever) were the second...
Don't get so deapair, Jannes, I have a E-300 and used it all the times with my M42 lens via the adeptor. NO problem for me so far after I got to understand how...
A sad tale, indeed, Adam. I'm going to have to answer to a friend I talked into buying a Maxxum 7D a couple of months ago. I based my advice on 15 years of...
He will have an upgrade path via Sony, and probably Carl Zeiss lenses. But no support from KM after the warranty ends. Luckily there's a solid based of used...
Plenty of used gear, for sure. But after the warranty, if something goes kerput inside the 7D he will no doubt have la problema grande. My experience with...
hi all, this chip for the canons didn't give me much sleep; after some thought, i came to a conslusion that this could, actually be useful (personally i wear...
Situation was not that bad really. I have read all the press release both KM's and Sony's. Sony is going to take over the support and the whoel KM DSLR...
Hi there folks, Glad to join the forum. I have a yellowed S-T 50/1.4; I'd like to try to de-yellowize it! Unfortunately, the climate I live in (Toronto area)...
Send it down to me. I live in southeastern Arizona 5 miles from the Mexican border. It took about 12 days here to de-yellow mine. I remove both lens caps,...
Why don't you go to your local hardware shop and buy a regular fluoro lamp and a UV fluoro tube... I did that and it cost me US$8-12 in total. The ones they...
That sounds like a good idea. Re not buying my own lamp, there's no way I'll need it again-- and I'd rather not buy consumables that will be yard-sale items...
Well, now I've to two folks sending me lenses for de-yellowing. Pretty soon the stone table in my front yard will be festooned with mysterious objects wrapped...

Yes. When the de-yellowing is performed by the sun it is the UV component that does the work. If you provide UV light from another source the results will be...
Hi everyone, I hope it is OK to post this. I think some of you might be interested. A friend of mine went on a trip with them and it was her best vacation...

Bruce. Thanks for the reply. I didn't mean to imply that the site wasn't up and running. Rather that the members weren't using it. And Gene, yes, thank...
