The only thing the matte really does is make it obvious to the print
machine operator that you want panoramic format.  I imagine, if the lab
were friendly enough, one could simply say, "Please print frames x, y,
and z as panoramas.".

Indeed, it should be very easy to say, "Please print the whole roll in
panoramic format.", without need for a matte at all.  The only problem
is composing in the viewfinder.  If you have a matte with grid screen,
or have an A2/E with the matte focusing screen with panorama lines, it
should be easy.

Good to hear someone is using Minolta Maxxum 7xi. I am thinking of buying 
one myself. By the way, do you have any comments about your new 7xi? I would 
like to know before I go out and buy one. Thanks.

That would have to be the Rollie S3000 (S2000 maybe?).  Set up to work pretty
much like a classic 2.25x2.25.  A motorized "cube" body onto which you clipped
lens, finder, and film magazine.  It was pretty much designed for studio work,
and was supposed to be a very well designed camera.  Unfortunately, it's heavy,
balky, and $$ compared to conventional 35mm's for field work, and 35mm just
doesn't resolve like 2 1/4 in the studio, so it didn't do very well in the
market.  KEH and others have plenty of used ones around at decent prices if
you're interested!

I am looking at buying a camera setup.  I have about $300 to spend and would
like to get a camera body, fixed or macro lens, and a telephoto lens.  Needless
to say, I am looking at used setups.

My main worry is reliability and availability of parts.  I've been told that
Canon makes sure that replacement parts for their cameras are not available 5
years after a model is discontinued.

So, I am asking 2 things.  First, what about other companies?  And second, do
any of you have a setup that you would like to get rid of that might suit me.

One of the UK mags did a feature on this a while back.  They had examples of 
various colours used (a) just on the flash (b) just on the lens (c) on both.
You can get some very weird effects with different colours on the flash and 
lens!  Just try to imagine using a fillflash through a red filter: most of 
the scene looks normal, but where the fill touches the subject it gets a red 
cast.  and so on.  They're fairly cheap, why not just buy them and blow a 
film having a little fun?

Yep, 9 min at 68F for 'normal' contrast. ONE film in a patterson at a time.
( IE one film per litre ).

Also TP, EI 25, 11 min in 100:1. Only agitate once per min. This may be a bit

The all-manual FM-2n is still in production, but the cost is 2 or 3 times
the K1000 new.  Also see discontinued Nikons like the FM, which can be had
used for approximately the cost of a new K1000.

All of the above have TTL metering, meaning you get a needle (or LED or
whatever) indication in the viewfinder and adjust shutter speed and/or f/stop
appropriately.

Do you have a recommendation for a place to get good cheap 
enlargements from slide?  The sizes I'm looking for are 8x10 to
20x30 to 30x40.

I know that Price Club in LA does 20x30 (from 35mm negative) for $8.

Who does a good job of Cibachrome?  What are the prices like?
I know that Cibachrome is not economical in large size (above 8x10),
in which case it seems that the only option is to do a interneg.
I believe it's optimal to do a medium format interneg.

Suggestions are appreciated... mailorder is fine.

I am wondering if a Nikon TTL flash would function properly when the
body has a non-AI lens on?  Assuming manual exposure on the body.

I have been giving this some thought.  Since the aperture is closed down
when the shutter release is pressed, AI or not, the TTL flash should
function the same.  Have I overlooked something?  Would somebody know
the answer for sure?  Please enlighten me.

Hypothetically, the loss in quality is zero.  But that is assuming the
publisher has equipment that can scan negatives.  Thousands of these
scans are made every day at newspapers using LeafScan, LeaFax, Nikon,
Kodak, etc. scanners.  It's quite possible, however, that a magazine
publishing house would have a Crosfield or some other scanner that
can't deal with negatives.  In that case, you will either need to give
them a print or an ultra-high quality dupe-to-slide.

I have a Promatic brand flash which works very well with my 6006.  It has
the Af illuminator and will focus in almost complete darkness.  It also
bounces and swivels and has a guide number of (I think) about 100 ft.
It has a 3 position zoom and wink light on the front which can be turned
on when using the flash in bounce mode.  My wife bought this flash for
about $100 at a local shop, and I have never seen the brand anywhere else.
It only works TTL or manual, but it has performed very well with the 6006
and with a 2020 before that.  The only Nikon feature it doesn't have is the
blinking ready light (underexposure warning) which flashes on and off when
the capacitor completely discharges.  But the flash is so powerful, 
particularly in telephoto position, that it rarely matters.

Mike
memsthd@prism.gatech.edu

p.s.  I recently bought an SB-15 for my FM and discovered that it works
perfectly in TTL mode with the 6006, even though the SB-15 was discontinued
years before the 6006 first entered the market.  The SB-15 doesn't
have an AF illuminator, though.

>>clee@praha.jpl.nasa.gov

 Unfortunately the Minolta X-700 does not have an explicit double
 exposure capability. Which means there is no switch which you
 can activate to expose the same frame twice or more number
 of times. (I know some cameras, such as Ricoh, have such a switch.
 More a lever actually).
 
 Advancing the film with the film release button pressed is the
 only way out. In order for this to work you MUST take up all
 the slack (by turning the rewind crank clockwise, WITHOUT
 depressing the film release button). Expose the frame for 
 the first time. Then "advance" the film with the film release
 button depressed. As an additional precaution place your left
 thumb firmly over the rewind crank while you "advance".
 I am speculating that you may not have taken
 up all of the slack, which is why this method did not work for
 you. 
 
Also, take into account a slight "play" in the position of the
frame. Your second exposure must allow for a small margin
of positional error.
 
Hope this helps.

   I recall reading a review of some Rodagon (?) apo enlarging lens

   color ?
