: As long as we're talking about photography books, let me pose this
question.
: Is the Magic Lantern book for the IS series worth getting? Is there
anything
: in it that I can't pick up from the IS-3 owner's manual?
The Magic Lantern / Laterna magica books are nice, but most of the stuff
presented should be known if you studied the manual and the iS/L Page, and
used the iS-3(000) for a while. Interesting is the kludge the author
(Richard Hünecke) invented for the lack of off-camera flash. This was before
the iS/L Flash Synchro Module (see the iS/L Page) was developed.
: P.S. What are most IS-3(000) owners doing about a lens hood? I've been
temporarily
: using my 35mm f2 hood on my recently acquired IS-3 and have thought of
checking
: to see if the 35-105 slide-on hood will fit.
I'm using a generic rubber collapsible hood made for standard lenses from
which I cut off the edges. More than a year ago I order a 'hood for the
iS-3000' from Technikdirekt, hoping that it would be a dedicated one, and
they sent me the hood for the Zuiko 35/2 (which I already had) :(((. Yes
this hood works fine but the rubber hood allows you to keep it on the lens,
put on the cap, and store it in the action case (both models).
