I have used this film in the past and I still have all my negs, most

of them in plastic sheets. But I don't have all of them marked very

well.

I'd like to find some of my old Ektar shots and check them out.

What marking is on the Ektar 25 film?

While I understand the physics part of why circular PL should

be used whenever a semi-transparent mirror is in the AE/AFpath

of a SLR, I have also been cheating with a linear PL on my new

XTi. Unlike with film cameras, I figured if the meter is

fooled by the filter, I should see that on the LCD immediately

after shot and I could then make the adjustment and re-take

the shot. To my surprise, I rarely had the need to do that, at

least from my visual inspection on the LCD screen. The AF

suffers a bit in low light conditions but that may be also due

to less light entering the lens, and I don't use PL indoors

anyway. So now I wonder if one can get away with linear PL on

DSLR in most situations.

With my old Nikon film system, and several manual focus lenses, the focus

would stop right at infinity. So if I wanted to take pictures of the night

sky, all I needed to do was rotate to the end and I knew I was in focus for

the sky.

Not so with the kit lens (18-55mm, f/3.5-f/4.5) that came with my Canon 450D.

The point of inifinity focus is just a bit back from where the manual focus

ring stops. It's about 4 or 5 of those grip marks back.

Worse, it varies by

focal length. E.g. the focus is not consistent across zooming.

Now, I don't

really know that non-infinity focus was ever consistent with my Nikon lenses

since I only had 2 zooms, and they operated with a single grip that pushed in

and out to zoom, and rotated to focus. But they worked well for infinity.

I suspect that in a world of autofocus, it is no longer considered important

to make sure the lens design maintains the same focus as zooming happens. The

camera can just refocus after the focal length is changed. I do remember when

I worked in TV and operated a camera, there was some discrepency of focus. We

had to adjust the focus while zooming in. I never had an opportunity to test

those cameras beyond the TV productions we did.

And I can believe that a cheap kit lens would omit consistent focus and even

an infinity stop since it wouldn't really be needed by the average user that

depends on autofocus.

But what about other lenses in the Canon line, and those of other manufacture

targeted for the Canon line? My greatest interest is in the infinity stop.

Would a better grade non-zoom lens have an infinity focus stop when manually

focused?

LIFE

FOREVER!!

This Is NOT A SCAM !!!!

I REPEAT NOT A SCAM!!

It Will Only COST YOU A $6.00 CASH !!

& IT Really Does WORK!!

PLEASE READ ALL Of This Amazing Article!!!

I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little

while

back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now,and

came

across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands

of dollars

within weeks with only an initial investment of Only $6.00!

I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us,

I was curious, so I kept reading.

The Article said that you send $1.00 to each

of the 6 names and addresses stated in the article. You then place

your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post

the article

in at least 200 newsgroups.(There are thousands)

That was it!!

After thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought

about trying it. I figured: "What have I got to lose except 6 stamps

and $6.00, Right?"

I Then invested the $6.00.

... Well GUESS WHAT!?...* ­

... Within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was

shocked!

I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In

my

first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had

made a total of

over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's

still

growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just

over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly

worth

$6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!!

Let me tell you how this works and most importantly,

WHY it works... Also, make sure you print a copy of this

article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need

it.

I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you

will

start making more money than you thought possible by doing something

so

easy!

When you send out 200 Posts, it is estimated that at least 15 people

will respond and send you a $1.00.

($15.00) Those 15 will Post 200 Posts each and 225 (15x15=225)

people

send you $1.00 ($225.00) Those 225 people Post 200 Posts each and

3,375

(225x15=3375) people send you $1.00 ($3,375.00) Those 3,375 post 200

posts each and 50,625 (3375x15=50625) people send you $1.00

($50,625.00) Those 50,625 post 200 posts each and 759,375

(50625x15=759,375) people send you $1.00 ($759,375) At this point

your

name will drop off the list, but so far you have received around

$800,000. P.S. When your money begins to come in, give the first 10%

IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not illegal; and

If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will

receive

$$$ Extraordinary Dividends.

PLEASE NOTE:

Follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in

20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the

honesty

and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by

carefully adhering to the instructions.

Here are the 4 easy steps to success:

STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on

each

piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US

$1.00

bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill

will not be

seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery).

...Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them.

You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper

stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill.

What you

are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are

requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most

of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about

the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post

Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal.

Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

1.) Shareef odeh 3629 N. Kiloy Rd. Turlock, CA 95382

2.) Noel V. 1929 Baker St. Bakersfield, CA 93305

3.) Jose Salazar 2901 Grape St. Abilene, Tx 79601

4.) Aimee Tibbs 6889 E. Moulstown Rd, Hanover, PA 17331.

5.) Nick Lioucatis 1722 Aspen Way, Campbell River, British Columbia

Canada, V9W7E5

6.) Jonathan Williams, 16650 Appoline St., Detroit, MI 48235.

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move

the

other names up 1 place (#2 becomes #1, #3 becomes #2, etc...) and

add

YOUR

name and address as number 6 on the list.

STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as

close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at

least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to24,000 groups) All

you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you

make! You

won't get very much unless you post like crazy.

This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18

Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these

steps for

yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and

again.

PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the

honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully

adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of

integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many

others

have received

will come your way.

NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,

either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send

you.

This

VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be

a

good idea to

wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.)

1) When having a pop at spammers, don't repost all their shite, it

makes you as bad as them.

2) Do you think the spammer cares?

3) Your ridiculously executed, tedious campaign against spammers is

getting you plonked as you have become more irritating than the

spammers themselves.

4) Seek help.

Yes, it would extremely useful if InDesign, as an example, automatically

constrained image placing to within the page bounds - and it would be

more than useful if it reported the actual percentage scale in an image

box, relative to the original, along with the assigned dpi of the

original

(whatever Jurgen may say, if you do not know the assigned dpi,

controls like image % scale are useless).

Hi everybody. I need for a certain work to obtain some positives from

negatives. I can't treat all film with positive method, because a part

of photos must remain negatives. I have a Contax Auto PC Bellow with

slide duplicator, and a RTS II camera. Photos are taken using an

Ilford Delta 100 film, developed in ID11. I want to use the same film

for positives. My questions are:
