You probably thought that Chinese student who stood in front of the tank in China was a fool too.

Those Kodak Ektars are rising dramatically in value, primarily because of interest from Asian buyers. I was offered one the size of an office trash can for $20 about 2 years ago and like a fool...

The Pentax 35mm f/2.0, the Yashica 50mm DS, the small Kodak Ektar printing lenses are mild.  Check out this large 111mm f/1.5 Kodak Ektar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hud5l6GkuqI

There are a couple kinds of bokeh that tend to bother people.  The "busy" kind where the defocused patterns are myriad and small and the "motion-inducing" kind where highlights become more oval...

There is a decent opportunity for another company to come into competition with them. That is, assuming they don't try to buy up any prospective competitor.

Another lumpen 4/3rds DSLR with a small 4/3rds sensor would be the kiss of death for Olympus.

There is a practical aspect to it.  If you've ever had to raise the illumination levels of shadows from any camera, you certainly don't want to see what the Canon showed.  It's instructive to know...

Whenever they incorporate anything called "organic" I think of overpriced food and perishable items.  I wonder what the dye stability is in these LCD's?  I had heard the dyes in Bayer filters could...

I actually bought the K-01 and the Q. I like them both.

I was referring the actual ads on the site that showed up above the comments? What is so hard to grasp? P.S., I'd rather have the Q as well.

You're welcome.  Small apo scopes make decent lenses are a far better solution than "digiscoping" with a spotting scope.

A small apochromatic telescope due to it's simple 2 or 3 element lens is capable of very high contrast and sharpness.  More than a telephoto with a dozen elements.  The telescope (a very common,...
