2 Neophyte Photographer Questions

greenspun.com : LUSENET : B&W Photo: Creativity, Etc. : One Thread

What's the best way to display prints for sale at, say, church sales, flea market-type sales, etc. so I don't end up with fingerprints and bent prints?

Also, can someone refer me to a good source for parts for cameras that aren't made any more? I have my uncle's Minolta SRT101 on loan while I'm learning, and the battery compartment cap went flying off into the blue. Minolta says they don't make parts for the 101. Thanks!

Answers

I can answer your second question...

B&H has a used department that is very responsive. You can email them at used@bhphotovideo.com and ask them if they carry the missing part (they probably do).

As for your first question, it depends on how much you can invest in protecting your work. It is a good idea to support your prints by something rigid like foamcore board and matting them if possible. Also, I personally use clear polythylene bags, which you can purchase from an art supply or frame outlets. Good Luck, Bob
