Vivitar 70-210 Series 1 Macro option

2006-03-21 Thread Fernando Terrazzino
I was convinced by Robert Stech's website and bought a Vivitar 70-210 Series 1 version 2 (the one Manufactured by Tokina) I saw this as an affordable way to get a fast good quality zoom. I'm quite happy with it, just a question, is there any way to activate the macro capability? The other macro

I have very eclectic tastes - there are very few things in which I'm not interested. As for car crash movies, you've gotta see the ~original~ Gone in Sixty Seconds by H.B. Halicki. It contains, perhaps and arguably, the best car chase in filmdom history, led by the amazing Mustang, Eleanor.

That must be some chase, if it can compare to the chase in Ronin (Personal favourite, along with the opening chase in The Transporter, which wins the award for coolest chase with stunts) -Adam Shel Belinkoff wrote: I have very eclectic tastes - there are very few things in which I'm not

Yes, void is an English word that can be used as a verb or noun. A void is an empty space, to void something is to zero or empty it. What you're doing with a move or delete on flash memory is almost invariably simply voiding the file entry in the FAT directory structure, not writing zeros
