I've recently bought converters, from Hong Kong via E-bay, so I can use my old fully manual (no auto diaphragm) Olympus, Tamron and Soligor lenses on my Canon D60. They have a chip glued in the back t...

I've been using that rule over here in England since 1969. Summer sunshine between 10 and 2 worked every time. I had to use it as I had no lighmeter and the college camera didn't have one built in! I ...
