That's wild - thanks for posting the link! Regards, Scott

On DPR, no good deed goes unpunished! Regards, Scott

@davids8560: actually I always had a thing for the olive drab (or similar almost-camo) Pentaxes. They reminded me of the Leica M Safari (film) cameras which for some weird reason always struck a...

The difference in line pairs per picture height means that while in terms of FOV, 200mm on the G9 might look like ~400mm on the A7RII (ignoring the different aspect ratios), a distant object will ...

@Victor - the Canon 50/1.4 is indeed a gem!

The offset RF window also allows the subject to see most of your face, which allows you to stay connected to them - particularly of the VF is a high-mag type that makes keeping both eyes open a...

I very much appreciate your considerate reply - I made that post early in the morning (after a particularly rough night) and as the day wore on I began to regret how it might have sounded :( Regards, ...

I've often wondered why the "definition" of equivalence did not include color reproduction / metamerism? Surely a B&W image does not contain the same ("equivalent") information to a color version? ...

...when I paid $17 for a ticket, no. There is a time and a place. Scott

...throw out the old "Think of the children!" The unspoken corollary of which, is, of course, "You don't hate children, do you? " (or worse) I was wondering how long it would take Amble Yonder to ...

Those GW Fujis are fun to use and have excellent lenses too! (I, too, have a GW690III) Scott

At least, that was my suspicion when I found out about the thickness. The further away from the sensor plane any accumulated dust is, the further you have to stop down to see it (and/or the larger ...

@cosinaphile - Yes! A truly mind-opening read. It was one of those books that had me stopping periodically to just sit and think and stare of into the distance for a while before continuing. Much...

But... that's just a person who plants listening devices, right? Scott ;)

Personally, I find that few ideas alone leave me exhausted, unless they involve naked women ;-) Scott
