Exceptional work, the series stopped me in my tracks. Thanks for the thoughtful work.

Glad that you found your way to this forum, welcome. I look forward to hearing about your experiences and knowledge that you gained along the way. Again, welcome.

If one chooses to fine tune his/her lenses on one camera body what happens if he wants to fine tune the same lenses for another camera body? I have been under the impression that it is the lense that is most often fine tuned and not the camera body.

I have decided to purchase one of the lenses listed in the Title above, but I cannot determine if the 200mm-400mm lens has better glass due to its more recent production. I welcome opinions from those of you that have had experience with both of these lenses.

Thanks and best regards,
JayHT

The many replies to your inquiry regarding the choice of a "sling strap" covers the range of answers that are possible. This indicates that there is no one correct answer, the best way to decide which option to use is to go to retail shops and actually examine and if possible try on several of these straps to determine which may suit your needs best. Good luck.

Can one of you medium format gurus tell me the difference between the Rolleiflex SL66S and the SL66SE?

Thank you for your assistance,
JayHT

As stated and restated above, this is an excellent lens and will not disappoint.

Can flash units be synced along with strobes, either in the studio or outdoors?

Thanks for your input.
JayHT

GGerard thank you for pointing out my error. Quite embarrassing, but no excuses.

JayHT

Thanks Jerry.

During anyone recall what the retail price was for the Hasselblad 2.8F "White Face" at the time that it was being sold new by retail camera shops?

Thanks,

If someone was to have used a "film camera" to capture the eclipse would this have resulted in damage to the camera, similar to the results of having used an unprotected "digital camera"?

I am the OP that posted the question and my inquiry never stated that "I was concerned with inaccuracies in measuring fractions of a second" In fact, I was interested in finding out to what degree the representations of speed were accurate and nothing more. Perhaps some of you were not in a position to answer the question as you were either unable to correctly read my inquiry or you added your own facts to my question. For those of you that took the time to read and correctly understand my inquiry, I thank you for your educated responses.

I find it impressive that today's cameras can achieve such high shutter speeds, but I wonder how accurate are these speeds. When cameras are represented to achieve speeds of 1/8000th of a second just how close do they get? Is it perhaps "close, but not quite" or are they 100% on spec? Are you aware of lab tests that verify the manufacturer's claims?

I have ordered many times from B&H, both by phone and by ordering through email, and without exception have never had a problem with them. Their staff is very knowledgeable and professional. I strongly recommend B&H for all levels of photographers.

My experience dealing with KEH has also been very positive, I have placed orders with them by phone and through e-mail and have always been totally satisfied, they too are very professional and photographers should explore their offerings.
