| Canon EOS 20d advice Db 00:34:32 |
| | Two questions:
First if I go to local camera shop like Ritz, do they usually take
trade ins? I'm thinking of trading up from a EOS 20d up to a 40d
(body only of each).
Assuming it can be traded in, what is the trade in value of an EOS 20d
body (excellent condition) today? If I should sell it myself, what
would that value be? And do they only take trades if you buy a new
one from them?
Off topic, for a typical home user, is the 40d worth upgrading from
the 20d? Will the pictures taken by the 40d be noticeably better to
the eye than the 20d? I suppose value wise I'm better to stay with
the 20d since its paid for but I'm willing to cough up say $500 more
if the 40d is worth upgrading for. I assume the lenses and the shoe
for the flash on top is the same for both models?
Suggestions/advice ?

| Hasselblad 56x42mm 60 mpix Alan Browne 14:35:02 |
| |
Maybe Santa will think of me next year...
"" Hasselblad also announced the forthcoming H3DII-60, an even higher
end camera that we’ll launch in early 2009. The H3DII-60 will feature a
60 megapixel, 56 42mm, Dalsa-manufactured CDD sensor that provides 94%
full-frame, 645 coverage. It is important to emphasize the exact 645
format coverage as the phrase ‘full-frame’ is being used quite
frequently, however no manufacturer has yet achieved true medium format
full-frame. ""
60 mpix over that area works out to 25.5 kpix/mm^2 about the same as the
Canon 5DII at 24.3 kpix/mm^2 or slightly less
dense that the Sony a900 at 28.5 kpix/mm^2.
Note: I don't understand the "94% full-frame" claim since 645 is 56 x
41.5mm, so this sensor is actually a sliver larger than "645" or 101%.

| Rodenstock 240mm F/5.6 S John J 19:20:50 |
| | I got a Rodenstock 240mm F/5.6 S in great condition, and while mounting
it on a lensboard I became puzzled by the retaining ring and spacer. I
am not certain what the spacer is for. The front and rear elements
appear to join properly without the spacer. In fact, with the thick
board, the spacer leaves few threads to engage the nut.
I've found no manual (yet) for it.
Any clues?

| Re: Why don't camera reviews cover the data connection to the PC? Pat Cheney 00:00:46 |

Hi Warren,
You are correct that the proprietary CONNECTOR on the camera is the
problem. And the fact that Casio cleverly hides this flaw from the
consumer. And, you didn't mention it, but, the reviewers also hide this
fact from the consumer. Sadly so.
The only thing you noted that I slightly dispute is that Casio calls it a
"USB/AV" cable. What they are referring to is that they supply two cables,
both of which connect to that proprietary port.
a) They supply a data cable that fits into the Casio port (USB)
b) They supply an audio-video cable that also fits in that Casio port (AV)
That is, the reference to USB/AV connector is not an indication that the
USB & AV port is proprietary; it's merely a reference that two cables are
supplied with the Casio camera both of which go into the same Casio
proprietary port on the camera.
a) The data cable has a standard USB-A PC connector on the other end.
b) The video cable has standard RCA connectors on the other end
For others to judge, here's exactly what Casio says on the web site you
kindly referenced:
http://www.casio.com/products/Cameras/Exilim_Zoom/EX-Z1080BE/
Input/Output Terminals: USB/AV Connector, USB2.0 (Full-Speed) compatible
Bundled Accessories: Rechargeable lithium ion battery, lithium ion battery
charger, AC power chord, USB cable, AV Cable, strap, CD-ROM
The fact that Casio cleverly hides the fact the USB & AV port uses a
proprietary connector is egregious enough; but the fact that none of the
major reviewers even noticed is what is especially irksome.
Why bother writing a review when you don't even test the system adequately
enough to accurately describe it to others?

Paint Shop Pro can do animal "red-eye" removal. Version 9 onwards will

cheaply.

| Medium format digital is so expensive Nathantw 05:33:44 |
| | I just purchased a used Kodak DCS Pro Back Plus at what I thought was a good
price and I had no idea what I was getting into. I figured I'd get one of
those batteries that you use on those old camcorders, a CF card and I'd be
shooting away. What I got instead is an instant money-hole. The back fits my
Hasselblad 500c/m. Luckily the seller included a $400 cable. Unfortunately
the cable is in bad shape. Argh. The back will fit my 553ELX but a $200
cable is needed to fire the unit. I thought about getting a 555ELD but found
that March isn't a good time for people selling it. So I'll pony up the
$200. Then I found, to my disappointment, that it doesn't take those
camcorder batteries but instead uses one of those Quantum or DCB batteries,
or bricks as some put it. That'll put me back $400 - $700 with the
appropriate cable attachment. Then there's the firewire cable that I need to
hook up to my computer that didn't come with the camera back. Another $50,
but most likely cheaper if I don't need the 10meter one. Then there's the CF
card I need to purchase...
So now I have a camera that looks like an octopus with all the cables
reaching out and going here and there and everywhere. And it's become a huge
investment. Overall though it'll still be a heck of a lot cheaper than a new
Canon 16mp or Nikon 12.8 mp camera, but man, portability is definitely not
going to be one of its strong points. No wonder all these medium format
companies are coming out with integrated digital cameras. Oh, speaking of
which, because of the smaller sensor I now have the 1.5x factor to deal
with, meaning no more wide angle lens. Argh.
So my great price for a medium format back will now be way over my intended
budget. Sigh. Maybe I should have just bought a cheap 10mp SLR and sold the
'blad. That way I wouldn't have cables coming out of every which way on my
back. Then again, I may change my perspective when I finally shoot a picture
or two. We'll see.
All I see right now are $$$$ causing my bank account to go down, down, down.

I shoot commercially with the 1DS Mark II and love it. I shoot everything raw.

Can anyone suggest anything? Thanks.
In addition to my DSLR, I have the Panasonic TZ3:

As with any camera, specifying your needs more closely, or actually
handling the camera in the shop, may help refine your choice.

High grade, like Nikkor development tanks and VentaHood and all good

| Replacing leather handle (was Re: Busch Pressman...) John J 04:51:45 |
| | Stephan Goldstein wrote:
It was a snowy afternoon and I had nothing planned, so I went at it. I filed the designated sacrificial screwdriver until it was a good fit into the retaining screws. They came out easily and the back lifted right out. The bearing surfaces were cruddy with dried lubricant, which I cleaned up and replaced with new moly grease. What a difference! Thanks all for the encouragement.
It's always good to learn of a success. Congratulations!
It is zero Fahrenheit here right now. Got the walk shoveled, and now I'm
staring at a Deardorff 8x10 that needs a leather handle. I can make one.
But the two metal retaining strips are missing. I do not have a metal
bender (brake). And I can't find any split rivets.
Any ideas?
I'll save my unhappy comments about the Deardorff V8 for later.

| Busch Pressman - how to lube rotating back? Stephan Goldstein 23:10:51 |
| | I picked up a pretty nice Pressman D for small money a while
ago. The back rotates but is very, very stiff. I don't think
this is normal as one shouldn't need three hands to turn it;
in its present state the rotating back feature is not terribly
useful.
It would seem some lubrication is in order, but here's my
problem. It's totally unobvious how the mechanism actually
works since all the surfaces I can see during rotation are
basically flat. I tried a very light film of moly grease which
didn't seem to help. I assume there's something inside that
really does the work, and is where the lube should go.
If I rotate the back to 45 degrees I gain access to four
screws in the corners, which I guess hold things together,
but I'm nervous about disassembling it in case it's massively
spring-loaded - the last thing I want/need is bits and pieces
flying all over.
So far I haven't found any disassembly pictures or info on
the web. Has anyone ever operated on one of these and
documented the process? Better yet, does someone have
access to a factory assembly or service manual?
To reply by email please delete the obvious FOOD item in
my posting address.
