Resources

An arbitrary list of useful sites and people. Most of these are either resources for equipment & technical information, or provide links to additional places worth a visit.

A word about FAQs: We deliberately didn't build a list of FAQs either for equipment or for techniques. There are simply too many individual web sites. Among the sites we listed below are several with links to FAQs. Please use the links here to explore and build your own list of useful URLs. If you need a FAQ, we would suggest you look first at:

Bo-Ming Tong's site,
John Wall's Guide to rec.photo FAQs, or
Bengt's Photo Page, an excellent resource which contains a link to Photo FAQs and Documents.

Among the best online resources, mail lists specialize in one brand or one photographic discipline. For a selection, try ListQuest.
