Here's another question that's answered in detail on Georg Holderied's Hacker's Guide to the SX-70 page, so I won't cover the whole thing here.

There were many third-party flashes made for these cameras in addition to the one Polaroid offered (*), but I'll admit that they're not always easy to find these days, and often expensive.

I use a digital camera as I find there are many advantages of using digital equipment for wedding photography. With digital photography I can shoot more pictures, get immediate feedback on images whilst shooting, and retouch them easily after the day with image editing software.

For most of my photos, I used a 35mm point-and-shoot (P&S) zoom camera. I've tried several different models from Minolta, Canon, and Samsung, and all of them were reasonably good. The best thing about a P&S camera is its small size. The worst thing about a P&S is its slow lens - it takes a relatively long time to gather a certain amount of light onto the film. This means you have to use fast film, especially if you intend to use the zoom.

My latest camera is a Canon 350D digital SLR with a 17-55mm zoom lens (wide to short telephoto). I've had it since July 2006. It's my second digital camera, the previous one being a Nikon Coolpix 5000 which gave four years' great service until it failed on top of a Scottish mountain. Before that I used a Pentax K1000, which took the majority of the images currently on the website.

Yes but you will need an SRX600 engine. The crankcase mouth on the 400 engine is too small to accept a 600 barrel. This could be machined but it will probably be cheaper in the long run to source a complete 600 engine.

Sorta. It's a big question that needs a separate web page, though. Please see the Film Alternatives for Polaroid Rollfilm Cameras page. I realize I sorta covered this topic on the page where I describe a few alternate techniques for taking pictures with rollfilm cameras (referenced above), but I still get asked this from time to time.

I have used both Canon A2 (film) and 10D (digital) bodies. For concert shooting I rely heavily on my 50mm f/1.4 and 85mm f/1.8 lenses. When I shoot film I have used both Kodak Supra 800 (no longer made) and Fuji NPZ 800, push processed to ISO 1600. For more information on push processing, refer to http://www.ilford.com/html/us_english/pdf/push%20processing.pdf . (this document is in pdf format)

The album is made specifically for the 600 film, but there is enough wiggle room to squeeze the slightly wider 500 photo into the die cut, though it might require a little trimming, and we don't recommend it.

It really depends on the passion you have for photography. As a general guideline, plan on shooting three to four rolls with 24 exposures per day; this is adequate for most people. Remember also that animals often move just when you want to shoot and don't pose for you so you may waste some pictures.

The concourse screening stations utilize multiple technologies for detection of illegal objects. The "arch" you walk under is a magnetometer that detects metal. The belt where you put your carry-on items utilizes x-rays, the strength of which is less than emitted from a color television set. Photographic film less than 1000 ASA is safe going through this procedure. It is recommended that film faster than 1000 ASA be hand inspected.

It not essential to use special gamma curves in the camera. The ccds themselves have a fixed dynamic range. Film curves allocate more in camera "processing" to highlights at the expense of other parts of the picture. It is far better to control the image through lighting and exposure. However modest gains can be achieved if careful calibration between camera gamma and post is orchestrated.

Yes, the EF-500 DG SUPER and the EF-500 DG ST can both be used with the Sigma SA300n, SA-5, SA-7, and SA-9 film cameras. No, Sigma flashes are designed to provide an angle of coverage that accommodates the picture area of a standard 35mm film camera. The area covered by the flash will, therefore, be larger than the recorded image due to the 1.7X focal length multiplier of SD9 and SD10.

If you have a film camera, most photo developers (from professional shops to drug stores) offer the option of putting your photos on a CD. Then, all you'll need to do is copy the files from the CD to your computer before uploading. If you have old (or new) prints tucked away in a shoebox somewhere, you can scan them into digital format and save them as a JPEG (.jpg) file. If you don't have the time or equipment, there are a number of companies that can "digitize" photos for you.

Converting standard HTML pages from Paypal to eZcart is simple. Just substitute the URL for eZcart in place of the URL for Paypal in each of the 'add to cart' forms on your web site. Here is an example: substitute http://www.yoursite.com/eZcart/ezcart.php instead of https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr You must also edit each 'add to cart' form to contain the shipping weight of the item. Do this by adding one of the following.

Up until March 29, 2004 I was using an old Fuji FinePix 1400 Zoom digital camera (1.3 MP). On March 29, 2004 I began using a Fuji S7000 digital camera (6.6 MP). I love the new camera. Back to index

Many new digital cameras offer several different settings for applying sharpening to images in-camera. Which one should you use? If you have a sophisticated image editing program, you should use the lowest possible sharpening setting. Why? The correct amount of sharpening to apply will depend upon the dispay method used for the image (printing, LCD, CRT, etc.) as well as the final size of the image and the content of the image itself.

Some cameras are designed for this, so you should check your manual. It's rare to find this feature in high quality digital cameras, but lower quality multifunction cameras with CMOS sensors sometimes offer this. See, for example, AipTek. If your camera doesn't already support some webcam features, you may still be able to do it if you have a video capture card (or USB device) of some kind, by connecting the video out from your camera to the video in on your PC.

In 2005, we converted almost 1.5 Million Feet of 8mm Film. If you rolled it all out, it would stretched from Boston to Philadelphia.

In general, 400 speed film will do you fine. 800 speed film tends to yield better color and crisper looking pictures. Be sure to purchase your film before leaving as the price for film at the Studios tends to be much more expensive than if you were to buy it at your local Wal-Mart.

The famous photographer Douglas Kirkland recently commented about the digital vs. traditional film photography debate. He said, "Imagine a world where images have always been captured digitally, not on film." Then he asked us to further imagine that film was the "new" technology.

If all parties are tested at the same time, have them complete a Mutual ID form. You will need prior approval from DDC staff; please call 1-800-833-2649.

Yes, film in Tahiti is extremely expensive. Plan ahead and take a good supply of film and camera batteries.

Digital photographic equipment has significant advantages over film not only in image quality but also in zero reloading time, no processing or scanning, and better shadow details. Plus, digital cameras use the same great lenses as non-digital gear. It also allows more flexibility in the moment.

Our images are printed on archival photographic paper by the respected Frontier Printer. You won't be able to tell the difference between a digital print and a regular print. The photographs last just as long as normal prints because the paper is exposed to light, processed, and washed just like a normal print from a film camera. We do not print our images on a inkjet printer, they are professionally printed by a digital lab.

This is a question that we hear constantly … especially from film photographers who are being blitzed by advertising and feel that they are somehow being left behind by not "going digital." So, just for the record, we'd like to state that prints and enlargements you take on your ten-year-old film camera are likely to be as good … or better … than prints made from a digital camera you purchased last week.

Yes. Using a film camera allows you to gain good practical experience with this course. Keep in mind that most photofinishers provide you with the option of having photographs transferred onto CD-ROMs. You can inquire about this service when you bring your photos in for developing.
