Hi: I am not familiar with any of the equipment you asked about. I can only tell you that when I have the variable sensor on the 283 it can only be used with manual. But if the unit is a true TTL adapter unit that means it is controlled by the sensor working off of the film plane which would normally mean it is in auto mode. Didn't the unit come with any sort of instructions? You really are a multi talented woman, not may have you ability to do so many different kinds of jobs to earn income. I imagine you must have all the tools you need to do the maintenance work you do. My friend, Big Lou, is also doing many kinds of jobs, auto mechanic, electronic repairs, home maintenance and repairing, also some photography. Lou is only 52 but had to give up a very lucrative job with the natural gas company here due to the stress of the job. He has had two heart attacks and a small stroke. His wife has a full time job. Lou does his odd jobs, takes care of the house, laundry and the cooking. He loves to cook and bake. Let me know how the two weddings come out. Was the Renaissance wedding shot in color? When you shoot in color where do you have the work done? Have you selected what is a standard wedding album for all your work or do you use different books for each wedding? Nice sideline making the programs and invitations, what kind of paper do you use for them? I can’t remember what printer you are using for your card work. Are you using a continuos ink supply or the cartridges? Lou has been using a CIS with pigment inks and the results are nice. I am thinking of going the same route, but may use dye inks, I like the better brilliance of them. Coffee is a good mother, at least she is feeding her kids the old fashioned way and not with bottles like her human counterparts. So many women do not breast feed because they are so concerned about losing their perky breasts, They are nice containers that were primarily designed for the kids use. Here is cute joke. Another example of science helping mankind. An elderly gentleman went to the local drug store and asked the pharmacist for Viagra. The pharmacist asked "How many?" The man replied, "Just a few, maybe a half dozen. I cut each one into four pieces." The pharmacist said, "That's too small a dose. That won't get you through sex." The old fellow said, "Oh, I'm past eighty years old and I don't even think about sex anymore. I just want it to stick out far enough so I don't pee on my shoes. I am still burning CDs and redoing my filing system. I need to get a good data base program to set up a good retrieval system. I used to have Corels’ Paradox for my Amiga and liked it, but I really don’t need one that complicated. I have been to several computer stores and there are so few good programs available. I had a long conversation with Jeff, he called. He is very busy setting up his new business and says he cannot find the time to do the photo work he would like to do. He is going to Paris in December. Like you he does a lot of shooting with the Leica. Are you going to take a vacation and go somewhere this summer? Phil
