Quoting Jens Bladt [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I often thought, that copy machines may very well be the reason Canan got the resources to delvelop great cameras. The same didn't help Minolta much, though. Pentax perhaps does the same by making endocopes and industrial lenses... I believe the photographic division of Pentax makes up a vastly much larger percentage of the company as a whole, compared to Canon.

I was about to suggest that. However, those hoods have become hard to find - at least for me - can't find 'em here in the US and the connection I had in the UK no longer lists them.

Re: Lens Hood 31mm Ltd
Why is it worse on digital than on film? The flare is in the central part of the frame when using it on a film camera, as apposed to the edges on digital?

RE: PESO - Cool Jazz
There's much to like here. Composition, the pose of my name brother, he is supaah cool. I kind of like the burned out hand. It directs my eye to the most important part of frame. There is no way to miss the trumpet. All this makes the technical difficulties a non issue. There is one thing do I miss. Jazz music, not to say all music, is all about communication. Communication with the listeners and communication _within_ the band. The guitar player don't seem to listen to the solo from the trumpeter. He sits there doing his thing. If you are a jazz man Frank, and I believe you are, you know what I mean. The communication may be there, but it is not obvious to me as a viewer.

bad luck and enablement
I asked a few questions about FA* 200/4 macro which was in stock in Poland a few days ago. I went there today unfortunately in store it turned out to be only A* 200/4 macro. As I wanted good performance at longer distances in such a lens and A* users told me that it is not as good as FA* version so I resigned. But in the same store I bought FA* 85/1.4 brand new at 70% of its normal price in Europe ;-) So it wasn't that bad.

Re: Lens Hood 31mm Ltd
It's not really a flare issue with the lens though... the flare is a factor of the way it was used, right? IOW, any lens will exhibit a degree of flare under the right circumstances. In this case I would guess holding a hand up on the sunward side of the lens might have eliminated the flare, and of course a deeper lens hood (or maybe just totally circular) would have done the same.

IOW, any lens will exhibit a degree of flare under the right circumstances. Of course. All I'm saying is that the fixed lens hood is not very effective for a 16x24mm format DSLR, and the design of the lens makes it difficult to change to an effective one. In this case I would guess holding a hand up on the sunward side of the lens might have eliminated the flare, and of course a deeper lens hood (or maybe just totally circular) would have done the same. It's a street lamp causing the flare in this circumstance, out of the field of view captured on the sensor but inside the field of view of the lens with stubby lens hood flanges. It wasn't particularly obvious in the viewfinder although it shows up quite visibly in the image file. Shading the lens with my hand, if I'd seen it was flaring like that, would have solved this particular problem. So would a deeper, full circle lens hood.

Re: Tel Aviv
Yep, the technique is trite, but it certainly warrants experimentation, especially by someone who hasn't done it before. I also agree with Godders about this not being the best way to instill some dynamics into a photo. I don't think dynamic necessarily means movement.

Tokina SD 400/5.6, VGC condition. A class. Both caps. Just one issue -- it's missing the focus grip. Get one from Tokina or find a bad one to cannibalize. $125 shipped (US). MX with Winder. Works great. Winder has wire connected which could be attached to a switch for electronic firing. (A practical solution would be to add a stereo sub-mini jack so that the same remove for the digitals could be used on this.) No X sync. FP works.

OT - Off List for a Bit
I've not been able to participate on the list as much as I'd like to, of late. Work's been just too busy. This week is March break here in Ontario, so my ex asked if I could take the kids for 1/2 the week. They're arriving tonight, and I've booked off the next two days at work. It's very likely that I'll not be on the computer at home, so I'll be back on Monday. This will be fun, as I get to act the tourist with the kids. Should be lots of photo ops, which is a good thing, of course! g later, frank -- Sharpness is a bourgeois concept. -Henri Cartier-Bresson

Beg to differ. The steel mill in the background is at least as typical for the place as the houses in the foreground. In fact, it's why I spend most of my weekends in the area. Most of the industrial buildings will be gone in a few years and I'm trying to capture whatever remains of the days when the mills and coal mines were the main features of this place. The mines have long gone almost without a trace and the mills are now cold and dead. Only one blast furnace remains in operation and that will also be closed in 3 years. Nice little streets can be had all over Belgium. It's the mill in the background that makes Rue Bordelais what it is. Ralf -- Ralf R.

Enablement: Optio A10
I expected it at the end of the month and was pleasantly surprised when it appeared yesterday. Here's a photo to compare it to the original Optio S. This still looks and feels great but the image quality is inferior, of course. But it does have a real view finder! http://web.telia.com/~u40938461/PinkyPentax/OptioA10OptioBacks.jpg The A10 has a green button! This change the presets of the four arrow buttons so that for example the Mode button could lead to the White balance setting. These short cuts can be chosen by the user. I wont pile other facts here that you can read from the specs so if you are interested in the A10 and have any questions I'll be happy to try and answer them. A couple of poor pictures that try to illustrate the stabilizer feature. Shot in low light at f/2.8 and 1/10 sec exposure they also show the noise at ISO 200.

Re: WTB - 18-55mm
On 15/3/06, Juan Buhler, discombobulated, unleashed: Going to Canonize it? Of course not. Canon make an 18-55 but I wouldn't personally consider any such lens. It's for my wife to use on her *ist DS that we purchased used from a listmember body-only. At the moment it has a 35-70 macro on it that's little better than a Coke bottle. I'm considering an EF 16-35 2.8L but can't afford it unless I sell some other gear, or maybe some pics...more on that soon!
