The majority of the "sharpest" lens request questions seem to be answered with a macro lens....often the 100mm L or non-L. Also, often the T/S lenses.

New review of MXLinux 18 from Dedoimedo: https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/mx-18-lenovo.html

I don't know about the R, but if I use AI Servo on my 6D, it will not beep.

Well Dedoimedo just posted his review of Linux Mint 19.1 and basically said: "Linux Mint 19.1 is an average plus distro". Again, not a rave review. Perhaps I will have to take another look at ...

Dedoimedo is my Linux guru. Most everything he recommends works very well for me. I tried MXLinux live, and it worked just fine, but I just don't care that much for the xfce desktop environment. I ...

Thanks for the link.

I would love to see IBIS so I could use it with my non-IS lenses, but I don't really see this happening. It would take away from sales of their IS lenses, and help the third party ones. Now if ...

Been there, done that, and really regret it. Don't do it !!! See if you and some of your (or bride and groom's) friends can pitch in and hire a professional. It will be much more worthwhile than ...

You're just a baby........I'm 67:-) Thanks for explaining. I always enjoy quaint expressions from all parts of the world:-)

Old codger :-)

As long as you have a 64-bit (processor) PC. Always a good idea.

I had some booting issues years back that was due to the CMOS battery beginning to fail. Fortunately I read some threads that suggested I change the battery while the computer was running ...

Ok......I'll bite. What is one's "first youth"? How many do we have? Never heard that expression........and I'm an old codger.

Tough call here as there are so many Linux distros to chose from: Distrowatch My favorite over the years has been Linux Mint with the Cinnamon desktop. Very similar to an older (Win 7) layout. The ...

I had the same issues (and warnings) years back when I had the CMOS battery begin to fail. Fortunately I read some threads that suggested I change the battery while the computer was running ...
