I'd offer to bring my lighting gear, but would have to leave setting the softbox up near the bear to you, Ken. ;-) Only if I can get the glint in their eyes! Its frustrating to invest the time and money on trips such as this to exotic shooting places only to have crappy weather/light limit the

It sounds a bit like the book dealing hobby (sorry, business) that Christine A's Darrel runs. An old guitar mate of mine contends that if you know how many guitars you've got, you haven't got enough. The same adage applies to lenses. Chris On 24 September 2013 16:41, John wrote: > On 9/23/2013

Nice shot Eric and good that you finished the walk in spite of all of the foot problems. Did you partake of Cromer crab? (that's a gastronomic delicacy, not an embarrassing disease) Chris On 24 September 2013 11:01, Eric Weir wrote: > > Street scene from the older part of Cromer, where my walk

Glad you got to the end in one piece. I was thinking about you earlier, that you must be finished by now. Nice shot, but it's a shame the street's not cobbled. B > On 24 Sep 2013, at 11:01, Eric Weir wrote: > > > Street scene from the older part of Cromer, where my walk ended. >

Re: Ricoh "what if"

What are you calling "traditional Leica glass"? M-mount has a 27.8mm flange to film/sensor distance. M39 is 28.8. Leica R-mount is 47mm (longer than the "kludge" K-mount 45.46.) PS... would you please be so kind as to pass along the name and number of your pharmacist? : ) On Tue, Sep 24, 201

Ricoh "what if"

I've been thinking about upcoming cameras from a Pentax-centric point of view. We keep asking for a Pentax "full frame" camera, and the latest rumors seem to have being mirrorless. There are a lot of technical advantages in terms of light path to mirrorless, and there is the advantage of you se
