Nice! I'll be getting my own new old Rolleiflex 3.5F back from Harry Fleenor tomorrow, and I'll be shooting my first 120 roll myself. Black and white though, and I'll be developing my own. Also need to solve the scanner issue - thinking of getting an Epson V750.

I buy online from B&H Photo, Adorama and Amazon. Never had a problem. You just need to be sure of what you want! :)

I fairly regularly run the disk check utility (in my case, in Windows 7 & 8) on my cards when I have them plugged into my computer card reader.

Buying a lower quality ND filter is just like buying a lower quality UV/glass protective filter - it's going to muddy the quality of your images. I use B+W ND filters myself but you pay for the better quality. Alas.

I find them useful. Standard neutral density filters for long exposure shots of water or sky, graduated neutral density filters to reduce sky brightness relative to land. I have filters that effectively reduce incoming light by 2, 6 and 10 stops. My graduated filter is 2 stop tapering to 0. It is, as others have pointed out, possible to mimic some neutral density effects in post-processing. I prefer the optical approach. Although of less importance to landscape photography, a neutral density filter also allows you to use a very wide aperture lens full open in bright sunlight, allowing you to make full use of the lens' shallow depth of field. Especially useful if your camera does not have a very fast shutter.

I don't use them all the time, but I always keep my ND filters on hand when shooting. They have made for some very pleasing shots.

With low exposures, even on the 5D III at ISO 400, you are going to see some noise. This is very mild and certainly on par with my own 5D III at similar settings. I don't think you are getting anything out of the ordinary here.

Yes, that's going to be the problem if there is one, not registered under your own name. You could try, I suppose - all Adobe can say is 'no'!

I get you. Then you may have a problem, alas.

You should be ready to go then!

:thumbup: That's my experience too. It does not work miracles for badly blurred photos.

Did you register your copy of CS5 with Abobe? If so, you should have a serial number associated with your account. You can find it by logging on to your account profile.

Most likely indeed. I have a suspicion their servers are overwhelmed. As I was putting up my post, I was downloading a trial version of Photoshop CC to see advantages what it had over CS6 and the download was glacially slow. Got it now though.

That's pretty much identical to one I bought in an army surplus store some years ago. I love it too. :thumbup:
