thanks, I tried that.

Good question -the filter is bent on the outer edge-there is an indentation of approx 1/16 of an inch, so I do not believe the threads are impacted.

Thank you! I’ll order that today.

Hi all, need some advice. My friend has a Xume magnetic filter stuck on her Canon 24-105 lens. She dinged the filter, it is dented and will not turn. I ordered a filter wrench from B&H and it does not budge it. Am wondering what my options are. I am living near Daytona , FL for a few months and and not aware of any camera stores where I could take it and have it fixed. May have to send it to Canon as a last resort. Do any of you hoggers have a secret solution? Many thanks!

Many thanks for all the information.

Alan, many thanks for a very informative and thoughtful response! Really appreciate it.

Am thinking Epson V800 and Silverfast Thanks

Many thanks

Many thanks, that was very helpful.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I have a supply of 35mm slides and 35mm and 2 1/4 negatives which I would like to scan. I have been doing some research on UHH and need some input from members here. The Epson V600 seems very reasonably priced but I am wondering what members experience has been with both the V600 and the pricier V800. Is the V800 really that much better than the V600? Also I have upgraded to Catalina on my mac and I ran across a comment that these scanners are not compatible with Catalina. Obviously the V600 is appealing due to its price-just wondering if it will be the one I should buy. Thanks in advance for your help.

I upgraded to the new Mac operating system Catalina today. Took about one hour. I have noticed one glitch so far. I use bridge to import my images. Usually I can use the touch bar to increase the image size to full screen. Not anymore. When I push the touch bar the screen becomes a jumble of lines and colors. So I called Adobe and spoke with a CSR who told me he could not even share my screen to troubleshoot because Catalina has a glitch that prevents it. He said that Adobe and Apple were aware of the problems and were working on them. This is a cautionary tale for Mac users. Wait to upgrade to Catalina until some time has passed and the kinks are worked out.

I recently changed from Sony to go back to Fuji. I checked prices on eBay and B&H as well. I ended up using Cameta Camera to sell my Sony gear and received quick and reasonable quotes and checks were sent promptly. I am sure B&H and Adorama would be excellent as well.

Good thoughts but without a tripod many shots would be lost-I took my tripod on each of my three visits and will take it again when I return. Many low light situations require a tripod.

Hi Kevin, I have been there three times, it's a great place. It's been a museum since the 90's but the architecture is wonderful-they could not afford to build anything like this today. It shows the effects of being abandoned for 20 years but it has real beauty. Tripods are a must in that many areas are dimly lit. I did a 360 pano of the area where the cell blocks radiate from a central hub. When it was built it was designed to give each prisoner a chance to "repent", each cell had a skylight which was intended to put the inmate in touch with God. To me it is fascinating. I have a gallery for ESP on my website which may be of interest to you. tom-singleton.artistwebsites.com
