Last year we spent 3 weeks in Italy and travelled entirely by train.  Enjoyed it immensely.  Even more remarkable in that I am an amputee (left leg below the knee) and wheelchair bound.  The Italtrain has a service called Salablue which put me on a  lift, put me on a disability enabled coach,

This is my first submission, so hope it works.  This was a dance demonstration at a latin festival at the Heard Museum here in Phoenix and performed by local high school students.  One of my first efforts with the then new K20D.  I think the lens was the SMC FA 3.5-4.7, 28-80 zoom.  I thought

Ridiculous AF Macro

2010-04-29 Thread Jerry in Arizona
I am certainly glad that you are physically sound enough to use a manual focus macro (or any MF lens at all).  There are those of us where being visually or physically disabled have severe problems with MF lenses.  I suppose it might be helpful if you looked beyond beyond yourself before

To those of us who need/appreciate the technology even AF itself is far from ridiculous. My apologies to any who were offended my my choice of words. For the record, I was calling no person ridiculous. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net

I'm sure our native Americans and most of the empires of European monarchs wish they had done a better job of securing their borders against aliens.  They were, unfortunately for them, too civil. Date: Sun, 25 Apr 2010 16:07:52 +0100 From: Bob W p...@web-options.com To: 'Pentax-Discuss Mail

While I can certainly admire alot of the work of street photographers, I just personally dislike being intrusive and dislike sending the message You're strange, I want a picture of you.  So I find it very difficult to do that kind of photography. Jerry in Arizona Message: 2 Date: Sun, 18 Apr

Unlike the Toyota, the Audi was an ergonomic issue with the location and size of the brake pedal.  The sudden acceleration was found to be drivers pressing hartd on the accelerator when they thought they were pressing the brake pedal.  Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2010 15:02:50 -0400 From: John Sessoms
