I regualary do not use flash but now i would like to try to improve my flash skill and get a nice flash compatible with the t90, f1n, and A1. I have been reading about the 300tl and the 299t but i dont know whish one is better or if is posible to use the 300tl with my f1N or if i shoud try another company rather than canon.

Well. thats all. If i made a misspelling sorry, in not a english speaker.

Dennis: The main issue is, we are using a computer monitor screen in RGB to view any picture. Next, the format of digicam is still confined to APS format (just like using a 35mm to crop). Many of those who may have migrated to medium format users, despite with the sluggishness in handling as compare to 35mm SLRs, are usually the one that complain the lack of "high quality". Well, if you are not in a hurry, just wait for FULL 35mm format Digicam to low down in prices as the time the image quality can be even higher. I am waiting.. so, in the mean time, just use the film-based bodies first, frankly, but I trhink the time will also be there the respective producers will implement some ways to force you to re-establish a new system for the "new camera" as evidence by some like Nikon, where older optice might not have the convenience of the newer lenses. Pity ..huh ??

Kerrigan, Penn Camera in the Washington, DC area has fixed my F1 (meter problems). . To the person with a meter problem On the meter, (this was the 3rd fix) the technician told me that the electronic part that fails is no longer manufactured so the only way for them to get parts is to scavenge them from other cameras. Unfortunately, the parts are old so they will also likely fail-- which is what happened in my case. I finally retired my wonderful camera that I wish sorely that Canon would resurrect. The Nikon manuals are horrible with respect to the ease of use of their metering system.

Thanks for the comments on my website. I have a general question to throw at all the "film" photographers out there. With the changes in technology, I see the eventual demise of film. I have no problem with this. When digital camera's first appeared on the market, I knew that this was the future and that when it became common the pricing of the products (like all new electronic devices) will come down to be equal to that of our current technology. My question is ... for those of you that have used digital SLR's is the quality of the "printed" medium equal to that of images captured on 35mm film?

Chris, If you have the lens removed from the body you can "feel" if the stop down lever is moving. Put your finger lightly on the lever and trip the shutter. You will feel it move quickly. Since you mention that you have two lenses that this happens to, I would agree in your guess that it is this lever. If the "L" shape of the lever is bent back towards the inside then there could be the possibility that it is not making contact with the stop down contact lever on the lens. The lens (not set in Auto) should always stop down the aperture if the stop down lever is engaged.

I recently purchased a F1N with AE finder and AE power winder. I am having trouble getting the lens to stop down during exposure. It will remain wide open during each shutter trip. I have 2 lenses and both react the same way. I suspect the metal flap inside the body at the bottom lens mount on the camera. It moves halfway along the shaft when the stop down lever is released, however, lens will only stop down "occasionally" and when I fire the shutter with the lens off and not in stop down, I can't tell if the metal piece is moving or not. Any advice?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3833415871 The Canon F-Rb camera images got pulled right after the auction ended on aug 19th. But that ebay UK seller has much more info than was included in the question here so I thought I'd add the link. Lindy

The F-Rb is a body used for eye photography. That body and the massive hardware it attached to are no longer used in the eye imaging industry. Without the necessary and enormous monitor, head rest and hardware package the F-Rb camera WILL NOT function. Its only a curiousity and not a usable camera now, whether it's mint or used. When this mint example traded on ebay UK last month and sold for 77 pounds it generated alot of questions on a few FD forums. A fellow FD system shooter: Austin, got a couple pages of detailed info from Canon. Until Canon cleared up the mystery of the F-Rb I thought it was pretty desireable, eventhough I had sold off my mint F-Rb example about 5 years ago on ebay. I sold mine cause it just didn't take pictures and thats where I draw the line with my collectables. I like using the cameras and lenses I collect.
