In one form, yes. A fun one!

Thanks for showing your shots. They definitely have that old school digital look. Nicely done.

That's good to hear you're able to tune it out. I can too, after several months. Now, it's  normal. I don't think about it anymore. The brain is a pretty amazing thing.

I see you are a guitar player still at it. Good for you! I earned a decent living for twelve years as a drummer in Seattle, Vancouver and Alaska. Now I'm dormant due to tinnitus. Too many years of ...

Sorry to hear that. They usually give five free articles to anyone.

That's a wonderful shot. The Fuji was a nice, compact unit with lovely output. I wish I still had it.

Here are some from 2005-6 from my old Panasonic FZ5

This NYT article made me smile. I'm gonna dig out my Fuji F30.

Hi. I had this lens in 2010-11 when we lived in Wellington, NZ. Here are some taken with the 14-200 using the old 12mp G2. These have all been cropped, so there is further degradation. Still, I've ...

This is a good question for this forum. I enjoy seeing what others have posted in response. I'm an almost daily camera carrier. I'm also retired as many have also stated, but my wife still works ...

Those look like fun. I'm a bit of a "modifier" myself. There is always something, usually concerning the grip, that makes me want to "solve" the problem. Good one.

I've been a m4/3 user since 2010. This is what I usually travel with now. It's around 1300-1400g. There is always something, it seems, that I'd wish I had chosen, but these have served me with no ...

Nice photos, but why have you chosen ISO 400 in bright sunshine? I also have this camera and love it.

Thanks for the encouragement. Right now the sun has gone along with its wonderful evening light at 57 latitude. As Latvians often say: "redzesim", (we'll see).

Thank you. I enjoyed doing it.

Thanks. Yes, I've come to really appreciate what this lens can do. It's can do much more than portraits, for sure.

Yes, the close-up ability of this fine lens is an asset for sure. As you have stated, it's not real macro, but it's close enough for quite a few opportunities.

I would heartily agree with your assessment. It is a wonderful lens. I knew it would be good, but I didn't know quite how good, until I started using it. I think I'll leave it on my Oly for awhile ...

Thank you, Randall, for your kind words. I grew up in Port Townsend Washington and am quite familiar with parts of British Columbia. It is a beautiful part of the world. And, clearly, there are ...

Yesterday I wandered through the flower garden of the local high school. It was very calming. I feel better now.
