Ah. There we go. The world is right again. Thanks for popping in, Shel.
Bob, if you're going to take Shel's place you better bring your "A" game. He's a tough
act to follow.

>> A Real Photographer only uses manual equipment, has minimal

>> A Real Photographer has no need for digital anything, auto

>> camera gear made of plastic, anything rated as "consumer",
>> matrix metering, or 35mm cameras larger than an LX.
>>
>> A Real Photographer has never used a camera that must be
>> "programmed" to be used, or one which relies extensively on

>> a silly "hall of mirrors" viewfinder, and prefers lenses with
>> DOF scales on them.
>>
>> A Real Photographer knows how to process his own film, make
>> enlargements, use his camera without looking at its dials,
>> knobs, or levers, and would never be caught with a camera that
>> has pictures of a happy face on a glowing dial.
>>
>> A Real Photographer understands film speed, doesn't need DX
