Besides enjoying them, of course! Have you gotten any prints made, or are you planning to? If so, what route are you taking? That seems to make some sense (the 6x9 back.) I've been considering doing the same, and for the same reason. Which one did you get? rafe b http://www.terrapinphoto.com |

... Please stop trying to explain how my experience wasn't a valid one, or my interpretation of that experience. I do business on the internet almost daily. You don't have to like what I say, but that doesn't make it any less valid. It is valid to you, and not to some others. To dis the business on the 'net is a bad idea if you are merely disappointed. It really is your problem. Often I think the 'net has led to unrealistic expectations. |

He's in the business of selling camera gear, he's not your pen pal. You can read lots of reviews of the Shen-Hao all over the net. Nice pictures, technical descriptions, etc. There's no need for you to badger anyone for tech details -- by email or otherwise. I really think it's uncool to lambaste a retailer based on one slightly imperfect purchasing experience. rafe b. http://www.terrapinphoto.com |

Fits neat as can be. I think I need to replace the light seals, though. They aren't dissolving, but they are far from fresh. I went to order some from micro-tools, but stopped at the end as my only shipping option was nearly the cost of the $12 product. I can't seem to find the stuff anywhere else online--all roads return to micro-tools. Maybe I am too uptight... ;-) -- Regards, Matt Clara www.mattclara.com |

It's cool then for everyone to say what a great experience they had, but if someone expresses disappointment over a transaction and the dialogue leading up to that transaction, that's uncool? And it's unpatriotic to question the president, right? Give me a break. -- Regards, Matt Clara www.mattclara.com |

He works with pros and I think he expects you to know what you want and why you want it. In every case, I've received my order the very next day - and I'm in Illinois. My last 3 orders to B&H were placed via their website and all arrived in precisely 3 days, as promised, complete with email notification of shipment and a UPS tracking link. The added benefit of web ordering is you never have to speak with one of their salesmen. |
