Thanks, Alan! Yes, they do go all out to make interesting and attractive balloons. There are new ones every year. Last year there was a man in a space suit, and a huge green dragon, although the dragon never got more than 100 feet off the ground, and remained tethered, as it was difficult to

Medium format lenses, in general, are not quite as sharp as 35 mm or APS-C lenses. They don't have to be. If you're hunting for a bargain, ou'd probably be better off with an SMC Pentax or Pentax M 200/4. Paul On Jul 31, 2013, at 7:24 PM, Igor Roshchin s...@komkon.org wrote: I am curious

Full frame lenses on APS-C are a mixed bag. A 16mp sensor is going to outresolve all but the best lenses. On one hand, you are taking from the sweet spot which is where the lens resolves the most detail, but on the other hand you are not utilizing the full image circle of the lens and thus
