Hi All:
Just joined this forum after converting to digital last May. Been shooting film for a number of years and then laid off for a while. There is a learning curve going to digital from film and also I'm a little rusty.

Found Smugmug after a few Googles and experimenting with Shutterfly. Like "smug" much beter even though you ghave to pay, it's way worth it; plus it led me here.

I work in the mortgage business, which can be very nutso at times, so I find this a great way to relax again.

Got a Rebel before going to Italy in May on vacation, moved up to a 10d in August and boom; out comes the 20d. Just sold my Rebel to get the $$$ for a 20d but still have my old film bodies(EOS 1 and A2E). Can I get anything for them?

Looked A Tallyn's per Andy's recommendation but their web site price is higher. Did I miss something?

Looking forward to participating here. Just posted my first challenge photo today.

Welcome!

Just took a quick look at the Rodeo series. The barrel race (I think that's
what you call it?) is a great shot. The rider looks very relaxed and the horse
is "powering through" the "corner". Very nice.

Hi ya, webwizard :wave Welcome aboard!

You could test the waters by signing up at www.fredmiranda.com (it's identical to registering here, and free) and placing an ad in their buy/sell. Be very accurate in your description of the condition of the cameras and how they've been used. It's a very active community, so it's best to be as straight as you can. You might try setting a price and also putting OBO (or best offer) to see what you'll get. Be wary of low-ball offers, if they seem absurdly low.

Having said all that, I suspect the demand will be low. :dunno

Thx for the tip. I'm not looking to make a lot. Just want to make some room for what I expect will be more stuff to come.
