OT- Gift Minolta SRT101

I was given a couple of film cameras- in this case, a Minolta SRT101. So I ran an old roll of film through it as a test. The dang thing works! Even the light meter! Once again, Tigger kitty sat still long enough for a portrait. http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/?saved=1 Gotta love a f

Thanks Godfrey- Quite a bit of useful stuff. B&W conversions was one of the reasons I bought Lightroom. I'll have to rummage around for more tutorials... Cheers Beaker On Apr 22, 2008, at 10:18 AM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: > A small Quicktime video tutorial by Martin E

Sigma AF 10-20mm f4-5.6 EX, Anyone?

Has anyone used a Sigma AF 10-20mm f4-5.6 EX? Or compared it with a Pentax 12-24 mm? Is it a worthy addition to the camera bag? Cheers Beaker -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link
