Epipen price gouging

25 August 2016 - 05:14 PM

With the controversy over Martin Shkreli's 5500% price increase for a legacy anti-parasitic drug, and the enormous price increase in the Epipen I was happy to find a link to a Consumer's Reports article on a "generic" alternative to the Epipen. http://www.consumerr...en-alternative/

My granddaughter Sofia carries the Epipen. I imagine that some forum members or their loved ones have severe, possibly life-threatening allergies, so I hope that this info is helpful.

Depth of field tables?

21 August 2016 - 05:38 PM

I am new to Nikon, via a recently acquired S2 rangefinder and several lenses. A lovely camera! and the lenses are excellent, but.... only my 135mm and 105mm have depth of field markers on the lenses. Anyone know of a source for printable DOF tables? Since I have the Voigtlander 35mm and 21mm lenses such tables would be handy. As would one for the f1.4 normal.

Also...how about a section for the Nikon rangefinders?? I'll bet many of you are shooting with these beautiful machines.

Off Brand? Really, Adam.

Would not "Other Brand" be a better name? Somehow the term "Off Brand" carries a pejorative "smell." I have several different Other Brand cameras, including Pentax, Zeiss Ikon, Busch, Canon, Ricoh, Bronica, Retina, Voigtlander, and Balda.

Nikon is an honorable brand, but Zeiss and Voigtlander are older by many, many years. Pentax with its AsahiFlex and the Pentax SLRs preceded the iconic Nikon F by several years.

I'm not trying to ignite a Flame War, but perhaps a change in name might be considered.

New to Nikon, but not photography

Hello All!

I discovered this forum via PentaxForums, which is also skippered by Adam. While I am a confirmed Pentaxian, cameras, lenses, etc, in both 35mm and 120 formats, I'd always admired the Nikon Range Finders. Unable to afford an SP, I scored a clean user S2 with its 50mm f1.4. Sweet machine! I also scored the 35mm f2.5 by Voigtlander, and the Nikon 135mm f3.5.

Just for the heck of it I bought a Nikonos III with the 35mm and the 80mm. (Wish I could afford the 15mm!) I had it checked out by Southern Nikonos and the system is good to its design depth, 50 meters. Along with the Nikon underwater meter housing and the proper Sekonic selenium meter, I can hear Jacques Cousteau calling me from beneath the waves....

I hope to share information with other Nikon RF users, and perhaps my many years of shooting experience will be helpful to others.
