Hey all, First post-timer and working my way up in the photography world here. I recently gave a wedding client my contract that addresses standard photography protections not just for myself, but also for my clients. The client altered several changes to my contract and sent me a 'revamped'...

Hello, I was just wondering how sensitive are shutter blades to break or how can i accidentally cause any damage to them. I purchased Nikon FM2(n) in a very good shape to try film photography and by mistake, I touched the blades while loading a film. The shutter is working just fine, I just have...

A friend recently gave me two old strobes, RPS studio 300. I know they are not top of the line but they work great. My issue that i am hoping someone will know the answer to is the type of mount they are. I have searched everywhere I can think of and sadly I live in an area with no photo shops...
