Looking for fellow medium format camera fans and related discussions? The
followings lists and links may prove to be of interest.
Many photo mailing lists have migrated to Egroups and now
Yahoo-Egroups, where you can setup a free account and subscribe to multiple lists. A
good idea is to simply visit Egroups/Yahoo and search
for photography lists (keywords photographer, camera, Hasselblad etc.).
I tend to recommend you select their "digest" option, which puts all the mail into one daily email
message digest. Otherwise, you may find yourself confronted by hundreds of emails a day!
I also
recommend that you be sure and save (or print) the initial email messages from each list you
subscribe to. The reason is that you will find instructions in these messages very handy later
on when you need to stop mail or temporarily unsubscribe (as when going on vacation)!
P.S. Having trouble with your Yahoo or Egroup accounts? The recent [8/2001] merging of egroups and yahoo groups and so on has created some problems which might be solved by unsubscribing and then resubscribing per posting below. FYI! This trick also works to "cure" a lot of odd problems from corrupted mailing list database tables.
P.P.S. - Avoid getting SPAM from Yahoo due to their resetting of your account permissions to defaults which send you spam (and earn them $$ from advertisers) - reset your defaults - see details on how in our posting...

For anyone who is interested, I have created a group called digital-
darkroom. I found that many of the questions I wanted to ask were
surrounding digital photography and how to scan and manipulate the
image.
Topics include digital cameras, scanning of film (APS, 35mm, medium
and large format), techniques used to enhance or manipulate your
photos, output to various printers and/or printing services, and
other venues that will help the photographer in search of information
to enhance their craft.

I have just created a film forum at www.beststuff.com at:
http://www.beststuff.com/forums/list.php?f=36
While there are many forums dedicated to the equipment of photography, the
personal opinions and experiences of photographers using different films is
scattered among the equipment postings. I decided that, with the myriad new
emulsions and the newly revised emulsions being released each month, it might
be beneficial to start some threads about slide and negative films available to
the photographer.
I hope to get some good threads going on this forum, and would like to get the
input of anyone who has something good or bad to say about a film.

Mamiya User Group
(Egroups)
This group is aimed at general medium format discussions, as well as
"orphaned" cameras (Kowa, Norita..) and under-represented brands
(Fuji..) along with the full range of current and recent medium format
cameras.
The main idea is to provide a forum which includes knowledgeable
former users (e.g., Kowa, Mamiya..) who can answer questions and share
ideas, groups who might not participate in a brand oriented group (e.g.,
Kowa..). You can also get more varied experiences than might be found on a
brand oriented group, and more diverse opinions and viewpoints too.
In some senses, this group aims to recreate the dynamicism of the former
Medium Format Digest (see below). Since the MFD has gone to a web based
thread format, broken out mainly by camera brands, the former variety of
views and experiences sharing has often seemed to be lacking. Moreover,
some MFD web threads have very little participation levels, whereas a
mailing list encourages a more rapid response to questions and concerns.
The Medium Format Digest (MFD) is a formerly mailed (digest) of medium
format related questions over techniques and equipment brands covering the
entire spectrum of medium format practice. The mailed digest was converted
to a WWW based thread oriented resource (see below), although many back
issues are posted in the site archives. You can search for specific topics
like equipment (e.g., Norita), or simply review the headers and discussion
in past discussions. While dated, these MFD digests often are the
sole source of information on older odd-ball medium format gear on the
WWW. Since the MFD predates most brand-oriented mailing lists, you will
find a rather broad discussion and exchange of views among many recognized
experts in the medium format field here too.
If you can't find any help or related mailing lists, try here. There are
lots of threads, and most of the popular brands are represented. The web
format means you have to check back to answers or responses.

Any way to block spam from this forum???
Maybe not from this forum, but there is a way to avoid it. Become a member
of the auxiliary web site for the International Association of Panoramic
Photographers (IAPP). The site address is: http://iapp.myassociation.com.
One you have registered as a member of the site (there is no requirement
that you be a member of IAPP to do this) you can take advantage of the
tools that are offered - one of them being "Discussions". Because these
discussions would be web-based and not part of a list serve, your mailbox
wouldn't be loaded with garbage you have no interest in seeing.
Right now we only have about 25 people registered on this site. I request
that all subscribers to panorama-l please consider being a part of the
IAPP auxiliary site as well.
Thanks,

discontentment with this discussion group or the administrator, Steve
Morton. I think Steve has done an admirable job in establishing and
maintaining this service. He deserves our thanks and recognition.

Hi,
As most of you already know I've been the Photo Guru at BestStuff.com
since early this year. We've already become well known as a source for
accurate and up-to-date photo information, and my plan is to make us
better every month. We already get over 300,000 unique visitors a month
at our site, and the number grows every month.
One of the things I have wanted to do for years is to set up some really
good discussion groups for photography. Places where you can come to talk
photography with others sharing your interests. This is just in the
earliest stages at present, but we have put up a portal page with the
beginnings of some discussion groups.
Please do me a favor and take a look at the list topics we have started
with. I'm open to suggestions for other list topics, and suggestions on
the whole idea of creating a real photo community within BestStuff.com .
You can view this preliminary portal at:
http://www.beststuff.com/forum/index.php?f=3
I look forward to your feedback.
I should emphasize that I am not attempting to replace existing lists
which cover the same topic(s). Where I am aware of good lists covering
topics we want to also have, I have invited the owners of those lists to
move in with us. We'll host their list for free, provide web page space
for member photos, provide space for archives, FAQs, etc. We're not out to
compete with established lists.
Best wishes,
Bob Shell

Hmmm...
Seems like I've run into something similar with a yahoogroup I administer.
I should say *loosely* administer. <g> I had some users run into something
like that, and IIRC, what was happening was that the system has two classes
of user, and it's kinda kludgey the way it reconciles them. It handles
unregistered users sort of like a traditional listserv, but registered
users get to have a web interface to all of the groups they've subscribed,
to do stuff like search the archives, access files, and maintain/configure
their account. I remember there was a *lot* of screwy stuff going on when
they took over egroups, and they set up a special program you'd have to run
(on their end) to tie all your memberships together.
I don't know that they ever worked all the kinks out of the system -- I
remember having to kill some accounts and then recreate them so that the
users could have access.
If you're not registered at the website, you might want to try registering,
then setting up a new subscription under that ID, and then unsubbing from
your current account.

That said, since yahoo took over egroups, we've had these lousy ads.
Ron is right. There appear to be two classes of users - those who sign up

procedure on the part of yahoo.

Personally, I find this useful as I can easily set everything for "digest"

Subject: Were you Yahooed?
Hi, Group Members:
You may want to check your preferences after Yahoo changed last
weekend. Then, or some other time recently, our beloved Yahoogroups
apparently reset EVERYONE's email, mail and telephone marketing preferences
to "Yes" for everything.
Unless that's what you want - a probable increased flow of advertising
(some might say spam) by mail, email and telephone, here's how to fix it:
- go to http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups
- click on Account Info (upper right)
- log in with your Yahoo account ID/password
- in mid-page, click on "Edit your marketing preferences"
Check out all the stuff they've made as "YES" options, including email,
and, way down at the bottom, US Mail and Via Phone. I don't know how the
status of this works for other countries.
If you don't want everything checked you can change them to NO. I changed
all my stuff to NO, and used the "edit" to delete my telephone number. Be
sure to click on the SAVE CHANGES box at bottom to save these settings.
Of course, if you WANT to get their advertisers' stuff you can say "Yes" as
you please, or just don't change anything.
If you subscribe by email only, and don't have a Yahoo membership and ID,
this will not affect you. If you have more than one Yahoo ID, you may need
to edit all the profiles.

Delhi (India), and April 6 in San Francisco. See
http://philip.greenspun.com/teaching/one-day-internet for the syllabus and
details. The class is based on my experience operating photo.net, which
is now attracting more than 632,000 visitors per month (more than 2 million
hits per day).
If you haven't checked photo.net in awhile, Luis has launched the unified
forums(http://www.photo.net/bboard/unified). Waikit put up the picture of the
week, and he has a photo contest coming soon. We've also launched a photo
critique forum that is integrated with our image database system. Rajeev put up
a rating system for photos. We've also done some work with the classified ad
section.
About a year ago we posted our editorial plan outlining the ways we
support photo.net. We concluded one of the best ways to support photo.net was
through referral fees from high quality retailers. We will only partner with
high quality retailers and will not change our editorial policy with regard to
user recommendations You can help defray the cost of operating photo.net by
buying your next camera from one of our partners on the site. For example to
help support photo.net, PhotoAlley has launched a store with us
www.photoalley.com/photodotnet . A portion of all revenue from the store will
go back to photo.net enabling us to continue growing the community. To launch
off its store on photo.net PhotoAlley will be offering 15% off everything in
the store and free shipping for any purchase over $100 through. Photo Alley
will be offering this sale to photo.net members through 12am PST March 6th.
Thank you for being a photo.net member.
Regards,
Philip

[1] Digital Photography Mailing List
Date: Tue Apr 07 1998
In response to the ever increasing number of photographers investing in
digital photographic equipment and the lack of technical support
provided by the manufactures we are forming the Digital Photography
Mailing List.
The purpose of the list is to enable professional photographers the
ability to share problems, solutions and ideas dealing with the use of
digital cameras. This forum should enable participants to conveniently
take part in relevant and timely discussions without wasted bandwidth.
The list will be moderated initially but the guidelines for the list
are as follows.
The Digital Photography Mailing List is devoted to the discussion of
digital cameras and backs that produce file sizes in excess of 10 MB.
If you would like to subscribe please mailto:[email protected]
