Back when they were current, I recommended one to a friend, (from Wal-Mart), for $14.00, I bought one for myself when they went on sale for under $8.00. Still have it. Not fancy but they work. It would cost too much to replace it. Just don't put them on an electronic camera. Trigger

I've seen two different versions of the 2000. The original didn't bound IIRC, the later version did. This looks like the early version renumbered. On 10/30/2010 4:10 PM, Paul Sorenson wrote: Looks like it's been replaced by the 2400. 20 bucks at BH http://tinyurl.com/2atvtck -p* *On

PJ, you're right. There is a bounce version and an older non-bounce. Though the bounce feature is kinda funny to me as I don't remember it having enough power to bounce off the ceiling! I would almost go for the 2400 except that I want the auto modes on the 2000. But you're right about it being

Homage to Gianni Galassi, where homage means copy. :-) I really enjoyed seeing some of his photos on Miserere's blog and it got me thinking a little more abstractly and geometrically. I'm new to lightroom, but I did a bunch of dial sliding in an effort to emulate Gianni.

Some nice work, I particularly like the image of the woman with the child. I've been drooling over that lens since it was announced, but my Leica kit either can't mount it or doesn't have 75mm framelines (Bessa R and an M3) so I'm probably just going to get an old Nikkor-P.C 85/2 instead. -Adam
