Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Processing film involved fuckups that couldn't be recovered from. I lived in fear of the scratched negative. You can't experiment!
Printing, on the other hand -- so much room to play.
Once I got used to them, I much preferred steel reels to the plastic ones.
That was the rationale on teaching us on steel reels, but I dreaded to splotches and would wind and unwind and rewind. I belonged to a co-op darkroom for a while where the ventilation was broken, and it was on the top floor of an empty building, so I associate those steel reels with sweating in the dark.
Bless! As the owner of a Nikon N70, it seems my lenses will work with the very digital SLR linked to upthread.
Maybe Christmas, or maybe before Kenya. We'll see.
(Jealous)
I don't take enough pictures to rationalize buying a new SLR right now. But still.
Well, my current digital camera started acting up (viewfinder's off). Not urgent, but I figure that by the time I get around to replacing it, prices will come down and ... my fingers are crossed.
I've got a stereo question.
Currently, I have my turntable, speakers and discman hooked up to my dad's Denon pre-amp.
Before, I had them hooked up to my yamaha receiver.
My problem with that is that my sound from my turntable to my speakers was disappearing. My tuner no longer worked, but my discman, which I played in CD direct was fine.
Now, I have no tuner, my turntable works but when I play cds they seem to come from only one channel or the other. (This was happening when I had it set up before.)
Should I be able to hook my receiver up to the pre-amp? And could my sound problem actually be that my speaker wire is frelled? (The speaker that is getting sound was the left channel; I switched things around and now the speaker that is getting sound is the right channel.)
Thanks!
I would like to be able to listen to my records AND my cds see.
I have now re-hooked up my old receiver so that I can listen to cds. And through cd direct sound is coming from both speakers.
Argh. This is just so complicated.

$750 without a lens. $900 with. They say this is a "professional" camera.
I was trying to read this review of the D50, but they used the word "evanescence" and I just can't stop rolling my eyes.
I may just be out of camera-review-reading practice.
