Thanks, Bruce.
I guess if I can hold off for a year, or so, I might be able to foot the
bill for the whole megillah -- body, computer. I'm still pretty damned
happy with my K-5, but knowing the improved auto-focus is out there
makes me give it the ol' side-eye every now and then.

What gets me about this story, and the many others in the same vein, is
that they all seem to completely ignore the importance of optics in

Thank you, Frank!
I knew the moment I caught it that it was going to be a BW conversion.
It's just one of those shots.

Neat! I recognize that duck from somewhere. Can't remember if it's from
one of the grown-up-type cartoons a la Adult Swim, or from one of my
great niece's favorite shows.
Anyway, if nothing else, this Christmas you've found the answer to the
eternal question: Who gives a duck?
-- Walt
Ah! I have seen it before -- just couldn't remember where.
A late night at work + an early-rise this morning = cognitive impairment.

Hi all!
First of all, I hope everyone is having a great Christmas Day along with
any other holiday you may
Thank you, Attila.
I somehow managed to get a pretty good exposure using PTTL flash, so I
had a nice tonal range to work with in the BW conversion.

She is rather lovely, Bill. And a strawberry blonde, which happens to be
one of my biggest weaknesses.
Was that a hand-held shot? If so, that's pretty sharp at 1/25th sec.
