[...] I still wonder sometimes how different my life would have been if I had taken them up on the offer. William Robb but would untold wealth really have bought you happiness? Sure, you could have bought 40ft boats by the fleetload and sent them all to Norway just for the hell of it; yes, you'd have been able to sleep with any woman on the planet; of course, you'd have been able to wine and dine in the finest restaurants, and have private boxes in the theatre and opera; naturally the world's best rock bands would have queued up to play for you at your birthday parties. Kings and presidents would have sought your advice for their colour-matching problems. You'd have had freezer cabinets full of free film for life. You'd have had the power of life and death over the colour-blind huddled masses of the world. You could have kept matching pairs of jaguars and cheetahs in a paradise garden filled with peacocks and year-round fruiting trees, just because you liked their colours. Heston Blumental would have been your private chef, and he would light his oven using pages torn from the Codex Atlanticus, because the special qualities of the smoke add a tiny soupcon of nuance to the hot dogs he boils for you. The mighty nation of Belgium would have donated a Trappist monastery to you so that only you could drink their beer. The pope himself would have prayed 5 times a day for your eternal soul, and your lovely wife would have had her own team of plastic surgeons on 24-hour callout so she could look more like the gorgeous Jocelyn Wildenstein. But would you have been happy? I tell you, it is easier for a rich man to go through the eye of a camel than a needle in heaven. Or something.

Re: K20D pictures
The only banding I see is a streak of blue/violet, that is the edge of a picture frame. I've seen some particularly awful artifacts in slightly underexposed 3200 shots from my *ist-Ds but hell they were under exposed I wouldn't expect particularly good results from anything under those circumstances. The ISO 800 exposure seems to be exceptionally clean. The 6400 exposure seems to be very clean for that ISO as well, though I have to admit I haven't seen any output from the new Nikon. Maybe it looks bad in comparison to that, but the 6mp sensor on doesn't produce better at ISO 3200. Paul Stenquist wrote: That's banding? HAR!

Re: Problem Update: K20D and DA* 16-50 F2.8
Hi Joe, That's weird, I'm going to be in Torino during the same days... :-O I'm leaving on Wednesday morning, so I'll be there on Wednesday afternoon/evening and stay till Friday, I guess. I don't really know where I'm going to be during those days, we are looking for the locations of a short movie. For sure we have to meet some people on Thursday, but that's almost all I know. It would be nice to get together if we are able to, but I guess the only possibility will be on Wednesday evening. Around Milano... I'm told that Vigevano is really pretty, but I guess Pavia is a nice place too, and with more attractions (my former girlfriend lives in Milano and should know more than me...). Never been in either place, though. They are the same distance from Milano. I'll mail you my phone for every need. Ciao, Gianfranco - Original Message - From: Joseph Tainter [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pdml@pdml.net Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2008 2:40 AM Subject: Re: Problem Update: K20D and DA* 16-50 F2.8 Greetings, Gianfranco. We will be in Torino through early Thursday, with talks to give Tuesday and Wednesday. I have to give the talks because the university is paying for the trip, then I will have obligations for lunches, receptions, dinners, etc. On Thursday I think Bonnie and I will go to Milano if I can get tickets for La Scala. So we will just spend a couple of days in or around Milano, mostly relaxing, then we must return on Sunday the 16th. I am fairly familiar with central Milano, but can you recommend someplace interesting to go on a day trip near there? Is Pavia very interesting? Anyplace else? (We like ruins.) We are used to traveling through Italy on the trains. I have a problem evry time I go to Italy. The problem is that I don't want to leave. This won't be a heavy-duty photography trip, just whatever I can catch with whatever time I have to walk around. I believe I will take the DA limiteds, plus the FA 31. At least it will make the kit lighter. Joe _ Never miss a thing.

Re: Boris - PESO/PAW - Week 06 through 08
Boris - Week 7 - I am drawn to the second image more than the first. I like the starkness and the diagonals in the sand vs the grass. The first seems too busy. Week 8 - The Doorway. I like the concept of recording entries to old buildings. I'd like to move to the left a little more to see what's inside. Not straight on, but just a little less angle and then rotate it to the left just a skosh so the verticals are really vertical. I kind of expect to see an old man with a cane sitting next to the doorway. ;] Excalibur automobiles were built in Milwaukee, WI and the factory later moved to West Allis, a Milwaukee suburb. The design was by Brooks Stevens, a quite famous industrial designer who was consulting to Studebaker automobiles at the time he came up with the concept. It was patterned after the 1927 Mercedes-Benz and built of Studebaker Avanti parts. About the time the prototype was completed Studebaker announced they were going out of business, so Stevens named it the Excalibur and started manufacturing it himself. A recap of this info and more is here... http://www.conceptcarz.com/view/makehistory/396,0/Excalibur_History.aspx -p Boris Liberman wrote: Hi!

Re: Why i don't shoot weddings.
The Yashica-Mat camera is great for that use as it is almost completely quiet. One of the very few times I have been fooled to take pictures during a wedding (it was my brother) they didn´t want to be distracted by cameras during the ceremony, so I got a seat in front in the church and used my Yashica-Mat. Nobody noticed what I was doing and the pictures were OK (but they did notice our father who used his compact with automatic wind and rewind to take the last picture on his film and we all listened to the rewind for å couple of minuts. .-) The ME Super is also good for that kind of use. Anyway, I always refuse to take pictures if they don´t hire a real photographer as well... DagT Den 8. mars. 2008 kl. 18.22 skrev Jim Apilado: Back before I knew better, I took my Yashicamat camera to a wedding of a co-worker. I took pictures at the same time as the hired photographer was taking the formal photos at the altar. Managed to get 5 shots before he told me that I couldn't photograph. Turned out that the pro had equipment failure and nothing came out. My 5 photos were the only ones showing any part of the wedding. Jim A.
