In addition, apart from being totally mistaken about the photograph, you're attempting to point a negative finger at me personally. Well, I won't take it quietly like I did with the last pic I put up. My comments were not to evoke sympathy, but to show a similarity between two extreme segments of the population. Both can enjoy a pleasant morning breakfast in bed regardless of social and economic class or their physical situation. It's sad you only perceive the negative. To judge someone and their life as you've done is just a load of crap. Consider yourself fortunate that you don't have the problems that put this woman on the sidewalk that morning. Consider that you're not mentally ill, that you have some form of socialized medicine to help you when you need attention, that you may have family or friends which she may not have, and you have other resources, both financial and social, to help you should you have the problems that this woman has. It is easy to look down on someone, but, perhaps more difficult to show empathy and understanding until you've experienced some of what they've experienced. Clearly you have not, or, if you have, you have a short memory. Thanks for the scanning tip.

Gauging your example against the results that I can produce now I would not have been happy with your result and I don't think it was of any value trying to guess what camera lens combination lead to the creation of the image.

The model ? ;-) Bob Sullivan wrote: Dario, Not to be rude, but aren't you the guy who said the image quality on the *istD was terrible. And didn't you just recently show and rave about the detail you got in a *istD photo (eye of model). So what made you change your opinion? Regards, Bob S.

Re: Non K-mount portrait lenses
You may also take a look at the 90mm macro lenses out there. Jon M wrote: I've been looking for a while at getting a portrait lens in the 70-85 range. The A85/1.4 is prohibitively expensive, the K85/1.8 is also out there, and even the lowly M85/2 tends to go for more than I can swing at this point. I occasionally see M42 and M39 lenses in this range on ebay, some Zeiss, some Jupiter, some others... Can a M39 lens be fitted to a K-mount? (I know I've seen M39-M42 adapters) How good are these old lenses? Anyone have sample pics? __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start.

For those that were not aware of the b-wagon denomination: http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/10/25/nj.suv.drownings.ap/index.html Now you'll understand why many people panic when noticing they're tailgated by one. Especially when the gals are obviously looking in the vanity mirror while talking on the cell phone and using the lipstick.

No way cavemen would brush teeth while driving, they're too busy watching DVDs, reading PDML on the laptop, tailgating the punk with the riced Civic and making signs to the blonde on the next lane.
