Sometimes we all become too interested in the camera body because that is where most of the gadgets are. But it is the lens that makes the picture and most often the lens has a more direct influence on the eventual image quality 'output'. If economy is a consideration, you should consider buy a less expensive camera body rather than less expensive lenses. If you buy a SLR camera with only one lens is also not logical because you might as well buy a cheaper camera with a fixed, non-interchangeable lens like a P&S. But modern lenses has such fantastic features such as high power zoom with previously unimaginable zoom range which actually makes a single-lens-do-all photographic system viable. All those messages posted on the variuos Message Boards for SLR Models are not short of interesting comment and remarks on lenses. Well, not to confuse others who are just interested in cameras, I thought there is a neccessity for a separate Message Board for those who are interested in discussion on various issues on lenses as well..

girlfromyahoo: you can download a T70 manual from www.canonfd.com. If after following the instructions it does not work still, well - there could be a problem... The camera LCD will never go off completely while a film is in, until the batteries are removed and the internal battery is worn out. You can use the Canon T series forum for any question about it.3.

Hello, I have an EM in basically ok condition, but there seems to be a problem with the light meter. I followed the instructions on this site for getting the meter on, and it worked. But after a couple weeks of not being used, I can't get it to come on again. Does the meter shut off by itself? Is there a trick to turning it back on? Could it be an electrical problem? Any ideas? I'd love to use this sweet little camera, but without metering it's not so much fun.5. From : Chew Min Tzer (chewmintzer@maybank.com.my)

Hi everyone, I am a Canon user, I have an EOS630 and an EOS10 body with 6 Canon lenses. They were neglected by me for a long time until recently a friend invited me for a photographic outing that helped me to regain my long lost interest. I intended to upgrade to an EOS-1n but considering all the facts that films are getting quite "difficult" to buy nowadays, I am worried that buying an EOS-1n is a big mistake. Do you think so? The EOS-1n has been discontinued for quite sometime, getting it's spare parts could be a problem too? Please help.6. From : Andreja Bozovic (abozovic@rogers.com)

Ken, ... thank you for responding. That's what I thought too but somehow it just doesn't seem to work. I know the FT QL works in stopped-down only since I've been using it for a long time with FL lenses. So I must be missing something pretty obvious since two FD lenses are exhibiting the same "problem" - a 50mm 1:1.8 (from and AV-1) and the 135mm 1:3.5. Both are shown on the MIR site as "new" FD lenses. I mount the lenses with the rings off the "A" position, but a: I cant't get them to stop down with the metering lever and b: the blades don't close down to the apeture setting when I fire. I'm at a loss. Of course, both lenses work on an AV-1. Thanks for your help.7. From : Ken Durling (kdurling@comcast.net)

Andreja -
The only condition that needs to be fulfilled is that the lens aperture ring must be taken off the "AE" setting - indicated by a green dot or the letter A, since the FT QL does not support full-aperture metering. You then manually dial in the desired aperture/shutter needle/ring match by using the stop-down lever to meter. Stop-down "mode" is the only mode the FT QL has.

Hello, ... not sure whether questions qualify for these postings, but here goes: Does anyone know how to get an FD 135MM F3.5 to work in stepped-down mode (or at all for that matter) on an FT QL? I guess it must be the newer version since the explanations for a the older version on this site don't seem to work. Thanks.9. From : Ken Durling (kdurling@comcast.net)

Craig - Just to address one apprehension, I have shot with both the 35-105/3.5 and the 100-300/5.6, and although the 35-105 is not exactly a compact lens, it's nothing like the 100-300. The 35-105 feels very good in action, quite compact enough unless your working in a dense crowd, where it can stick out a bit. Ken10. From : Luigi D.

Craig: you should really measure your needs. Do you plan to walk all the day long with the lens? Is the 28 or 105 mm focal a must? How much is "macro" capability important? I went for the 28-85/4 because I often use the wide-angle setting and carry it while hiking. In sunny days f/4 is seldom a problem, and more often I need a good DOF than viceversa. Its range couples well with my 80-200/4. Therefore that lens suits my needs very well. But someone else? He could need to use it indoor, prefer the telephoto range, don't walk too much and have an 100-300/5.6.
I like the image quality of the 28-85, but I don't have a 35-105 for a comparison. The choice is up to you, you know what you need :) About buying a lens and then think the other one was better, it always happens ;)
