Completely irrelevant for me. I have only one pre-A series lens and

When sensor prices fall low enough I expect to see Cosina package a

The sign makes the pic. The pic itself could use a
little work, assuming that you can't shoot it again.
The contrast range is very wide; might a polarizer
have helped to take some of the glare off the pavement
and the leaves? The dark areas on the right are
blocked up, too. Playing with
The word you are looking for is you're (short for you are), not
your. You keep making this error. It's time you learned to write your

Eh... I'm sure you're right. While I don't agree with JCO's
flaming-style debating, I do agree with most of the points:
- Canon FD/EOS comparisons aren't relevant because the new mount

1. you are assumeing that these DSLRs will never need service

For general photography an incident light meter will provide you with
