June 2009 e-newsletter is up!

The latest newsletter has summer shooting tips, what’s REALLY important when looking for a new camera (here’s a hint - no one needs 14.7 MP in a point and shoot), and a series of excellent photos by Eric. Check it out, along with all the previous newsletters, here!

Kodak took my Kodachrome away!

Well, it was bound to happen… the Associated Press is reporting that Kodak has officially pulled the plug on Kodachrome! It was bound to happen, but it is a momentous occasion nonetheless…

As of this writing, we still have a limited supply of Kodakchrome 64 in stock, and we will attempt to get more as long as the price remains feasible. Most of us here are planning to shoot “one last roll” ourselves just for old time’s sake….

Now accepting pre-orders for the Olympus E-P1!

Sure, it’s not available yet, that’s why it’s a pre-order! This camera has been tearing up the blog world, and if you want to be amongst the first to have one, let us know! Call or email us, give a deposit, and we will reserve one just for you!

Can’t find any Polaroid film?

And don’t count on finding anymore either, at least not fresh and in date! We get several calls everyday asking us if we have Polaroid film or cameras. Well, no…. and yes?

Polaroid, alas is still gone, as are the films. But Fuji has made a noble effort at filling this void with the Fujifilm Instax! It’s very much like a Polaroid, but uses its own film - it will NOT take 600 film, sorry! But it’s easy and INSTANT! Check out the camera and film, and stop on in or order it up!

Want to do more with your camera flash?

Lumiquest produces a wide variety of flash accessories that can be used on most any add-on flash, are easy, and inexpensive. But how do you know which accessories are right for you? Well, Lumiquest has come out with a series of YouTube videos to help! They are easy to follow, with a minimal amount of “technobabble”. A great please to start is “Popular Flash Myths and Misconceptions” -

They then have a whole series of videos that go further into details of the entire line of snoots, reflectors, diffusers, and much more! After viewing the videos, stop on in to Madison PhotoPlus or the Photo Summit to see the items in person, or just get them right on our web site!

Please note- these videos have not been created by Madison PhotoPlus or the Photo Summit.
