All excellent lenses, capable of producing superb work. Colour rendition may be more variable across the range than from other manufacturers but I have not found one that is objectionable. All of my lenses are very robust. My 500/8 once went swimming and came up looking like a half full bucket of water. I was able to dismantle it on a kitchen table in a dacha for cleaning and drying. Reassembled at home, it is fine. The adapters. Standard K adapter is fine. The KA adapter has a spotty quality record. One of mine regularly comes undone, despite no apparent fault.

Re: Something You've Never Seen
On Feb 18, 2008 10:38 PM, Paul Stenquist [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A 1954 Kaiser Darrin sports car. I photographed it at the Dream Cruise in 2004 against a cluttered background. No choice. That's where it was parked, and the owner was nowhere to be found. I finally got around to cleaning the pics up a bit today. Only 435 of these cars were built. I believe only two or three still exist. It was the first fiberglass car ever made. The doors are pocket doors -- they slide into the front fenders. The design was created by a fellow named Darrin (last name), who lived in Santa Monica. Unfortunately, it's flathead 2.4 liter engine generated a mere 90 horsepower. It was no match for the 55 Corvettes, which premiered with around 200 horsepower. But it was a very pretty car. This one,which is completely original and beautifully restored, was parked on Woodward. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6966971size=lg http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6966978 http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6966938 It's amazing how many smaller manufactureres there were back in those days. I was raised in the world of the Big Three, but only a few years before I was born there were Hudsons, Kaisers, Nashes, Lasalles and others plying the roads of North America. By the time I was a youngster, I guess maybe Rambler and Studebaker were about the only two of these smaller manufacturers left (there was Jeep, but they were pretty much a specialty manufacturer).

It has very good contrast and sharpness and it's a joy to use it. On digital it's 36mm which is a good wide angle for me. I am also thinking about the SP500 f8 mirror lens and the SP300 f5.6.

The Treo's camera only does 640x480 pixels and has no user exposure controls so in a way it's kinda like shooting with a Holga or other toy camera. That's part of its charm ... :-) http://homepage.mac.com/godders/06-cellphonediptych.jpg Comments always appreciated. Way cool! Reminds me of Lomography.

Just the right balance of blur and sharpness. It's making me look forward to bicycle weather as Lisa and I have new bikes we haven't ridden yet (well, she has hers -- after a 3-month wait for it to be shipped over from Italy -- and mine's at the shop waiting to be picked up...)

Re: More Leibovitz
Current mores should never be used to judge the past. To consider this Rocco pedophilia is simply ignorant. The magic numbers used today for adulthood were very different in other eras. There's really nothing very special about numbers such as 13, 16, 18, 21 etc, except what society makes of them. Romeo and Juliette were 14 years old. Kings in their preteens married Queens in their 40's and vice versa for dynastic reasons, (for similar reasons Pharaohs married their sisters), Mohamed took a 12 year old as his 4th wife. None of this was considered particularly scandalous during the times they happened. I expect that our civilization will be viewed with horror by our descendants, though I couldn't tell you why. The reasons will probably have nothing to do with what you or I find horrible.

I always enjoy watching Waldemar Januszczak on the TV (he does Capital A Art programmes), but he really takes an axe to that show (and the doco). I might say I was rather shocked to read this I doubt Leibovitz or Johansson are aware that O'Murphy was 14 when Boucher painted her, and that their recreation celebrates an act of rococo paedophilia. I wasn't aware of that, and I've always considered the picture to be particularly, er, worthy of study.

Re: Drive by drive in Part II
To be completely accurate, Frank said I don't know what WP is. He never mentioned white balance. But I won't sue you. However Frank might:-). Paul On Feb 19, 2008, at 5:27 PM, P. J.

Color balance, (you of course see the world in BW so it's not important). No, you're thinking of white balance. White Point refers to the chromaticity coordinates that determine the value of white. In other words, how much gray is present in your whitest white. Paul -- Vote for Cthulhu.
