Not having luck using this with 1. firewire 2. vista Any idea? You could try VueScan ( http://www.hamrick.com/ ). I am not sure if it works with your scanner, but they have a trial version that you could try. I have used it with a couple of my obsolete scanners that will never get vista drivers and...

I think It's safe to say that I will find myself purchasing a CZ 16-80mm DT lens :) ......then.... if I feel the need...... pick myself up an a700 body! (or a900 if I deem it really really necessary) A word of warning - CZ 16 -80 is a DT (crop lens) so if you are serious about the A900 then perhaps...

We all know this effect of the light rays when we photograph light sources at night. Now where do they come from? I've checked the pics, it seems all lamps have 15 or 16 light rays. This can't be random! But then, I doubt the lens he used has 15 aperture blades (In some pics the artefacts you see d...

Having been an a100 owner since its release and after seeing all these new swanky models come out, I'm now thinking its time to upgrade! but I really need some advice on which alpha to get. Q. Why do I want to upgrade from my current a100? A. I want better detail, noise control and the ability to p...

The only down side is that they will not AF SSM lenses, so if you want to use your CZ 24-70 f/2.8 on it you are out of luck. :( mmm I think that, If you own the CZ 24~770 2.8, you can afford a Maxxum 7 or 9! Good point. Although If I had just bought a CZ 24-70 f/2.8 then there would be no way I cou...

As a [cheaper] alternative to the 7 [maybe about the same price as a 5], how about a 600si - arguably the forerunner of the 7s control philosophy, and if you can get a v/grip for it, that adds a flash-sync port and use of AAs - not quite as solid as the 7, and the AF is less sophisticated [read 'ol...

It's a different posting procedure to DPR and I thought i'd done it correctly as the images showed in the preview before I pressed the submit button. I am still not seeing them I am afraid. I just get ... " Forbidden You don't have permission to access /o4/94/634094/1/102558756.ArhfjTHv.Llandu...

Hi, I always encounter with annoying power cables crossing my landscape photos. I know I should not have them in the frame at the first place, but sometimes I just don't want to give up the shot. I have tried using "Clone Stamp Tools" to slowly clone them away. But, besides taking very lo...

Anyway if someone has really a problem, send me a picture of the rash and the complaints in a few words (not long list please), and I'll be glad to be of assistance (consider it a contribution in telemedicine :lol: ) I was tempted to post a close up of some rusty steel and see if you could diagnose...

...continued... Here is the result of a ND grad ( positioned diagonally at 10mm) with light coming from behind and reflected in the corners. Potentially easy to shield if you are aware, but could cause problems..... DSC06219.jpg The same shot at 15mm... DSC06220.jpg I have also just realised that th...

Thanks Tom, do you use a c/pl on the 10-20 I haven't to date, but here are the results of a few tests. (nothing scientific. P mode, and rattled off a few shots with filters on. No PP etc)... From approx 14mm it is not a problem. Wider and you start getting the corners compromised. At 10mm you can s...

Thanks David Yes your right 77mm not 72, good job I held back on purchase. From your experiments.. thank you for the trouble.. it looks like hand holding will be the best option anyway. I would use a screw in c/pl rather than square, low profile on the wide lens. This has thrown up a lot of questio...

I love lighthouses, and I'm sure there must be a few lurkling in people's archives. Here are three views of one of my favourites at Rubha Nan Gall on the Isle of Mull, just to get you started. Here's one of mine... Here are couple more.... Blimey - it is amazing how many you can find when you look!...
