Help! What Am I Looking at Here?

[StoneNYC]

APUG automatically subscribes me to threads I create or post to. I believe it is a feature that defaults to ON.

Strange... When I joined it wasn't on, and I don't even know how to turn it on... Can you tell me where to find the switch?

Hang in there Stone, I know it's frustrating, but you'll get the hang of it once you've been on the internet for a year or so

At the bar on the top of any APUG page choose "General Settings."
Scroll down to the "Messaging & Notification" section.
Under that is "Default Thread Subscription Mode" - you will see a pull-down list.

Choices are:
- "Do Not Subscribe" - you will not be subscribed when you post. All other choices have to do with how you will be notified of a post to a subscribed thread (implying they all "subscribe").
- "Through my control panel only" - you have to go to control panel to view subscriptions.
The other three choices are email notification options.

Of course, you can also subscribe manually to a thread you have not posted to.

I'd put it closer to $200, but yes, it's an F. I just bought an F from KEH for a bit less than $200, and they still have another one in inventory for $179.

What he said.

My friend just picked up an Sinar F2 with a 210mm lens for $400 on the big bay.

Monorail LF cameras seem to be a dime a dozen these days.

You get tired of these one post wonders pumping for info they could find on ebay or KEH. I actually thought jcc's answer was appropriate and entertaining.

I personally thought his post was funny too, especially when he notes "One of these may be off.".
And I love people who quote EBay prices. All you see these days are asked BIN prices, not what they actually sold for.

I stay away from the Bay these days (Except when I drive by their headquarters) because it isn't interesting anymore, it isn't fun anymore, you learn jack about things, and the prices frankly suck. Much different from the days when you could pick up a 4x5 graplex rb for $125.00 because the seller had no clue and no one else bothered to measure the photo to calculate the aspect ration of the ground glass. True story. I think everybody thought it was a 3 1/4 by 4 1/4. The camera arrived looking like it had never been used.

Auctions were fun. The days when you could track people by their user names and find out who knew what about anything you were interested in, from 8x10 cameras to antique vacuum coffee pots, EBay killed the goose one slow feather at a time. Now everybody on there thinks their products are made of gold and price them accordingly. About the only thing I have bought over the last three years has been Dr. Who DVDs. They at least are still cheap.

Anyway, I would look to get about $350 -400 for the complete camera including lens. That would be a fair deal in today's market.
