Certain terms don't seem to warrant a link to their own page.  For example, film advance and lens barrel - what more is  needed to descibe these terms than their one line descriptions?  It seems bombastic to have a page saying exactly the same thing and nothing more.  Perhaps we should put some thought into what terms really need a whole page of description and for which one, short sentance is enough.

I've added a bunch of terms in here. These are all terms that I found from existing articles. To see which articles I got them from, you can click on the term then follow the "what links here" link on the left of the page. --Lbstone 17:42, 10 Jul 2005 (EDT)
