Re: Interesting "hybrid" (3-way) photo bag

I'm a bit skeptical of these sorts of things.  When I was doing a lot of work travel I got a convertible travel bag, that could be worn like a backpack, but could also be carried like a suitcase. It wasn't really good at either, though it made a better backpack than suitcase. The design of the

Re: Interesting "hybrid" (3-way) photo bag

I absolutely love my fastpak 350 for my aps gear, but it hasn't worked so well for my K-1. I just had an errand in sf around the corner from Samy's and while in there I looked at bags. They have the tenba shootout 24l which seems very nice, but it is just too small to carry my monopod inside, so

Sounds like a great trip.  Looking forward to lots of pix... I'd like to see l'Anse aux Meadows, too. And there's another site recently discovered some 400 miles to the south that holds some more potential information on Viking settlement in North America. https://tinyurl.com/y96hdcnn -p O

Re: DxO Labs, spin off from DxO Mark in receivership.

FWIW, the download page is still functional. I'm getting ready to install PhotoshopCS 6 on my "new" laptop, so I thought I might as well see if I can download the collection to plugin to that. The only one I ever really use is ColorEFEX Pro, but I guess as long as it's still available, it's be

little OT but five years, five years

I take a lot of time to make my mind up about doing things and 5 years seems to be a good average. Five years to decided to rebuild a shed, 5 years to make up my mind to buy a new vehicle, 5 years at least between cameras, and so on and so on.

I've used quite a lot of Color 600 film for Polaroid, all from Impossible Project thus far (none from the new Polaroid Originals yet ... just got my first stock load of that). The film has been good. If you're talking about the 'original' Polaroid 600 film, well, it's at least thirteen years o
