That poor DA70mm lens. There it was, sitting unloved and unused on a camera store shelf. Lens purgatory. The damnation of the unbought. Terribly sad. A poor little box, hiding shyly behind a bunch of other boxes on a shelf, nearly forgotten, wanting a home.
I was at The Don's today to buy a replacement Extreme 3 SD card for the one that has gone AWOL, and a newer reader that would read it. I found a Sandisk Extreme card reader which is very nice, and will do both CF and SD cards. They had a deal on Ultra 2 cards, which are fast enough for my purposes, so I got 4 gigs or Ultra 2 for the price of 2.19634 gigs of Extreme 3. And that poor 70mm lens found a home. It was so happy it flared. Anyway, I am wondering if it is a flare or some sort of weird phosphorescent dream created by the picture tube? http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrobb/temp/flare70.html There was on hell of a hot spot on the screen in the center of the blasted out bit.
