"35mm equivalent focal length" is every bit as directly comparable as
"angle of view",  They are both numerical measures which can be used
to compare different system formats, with the advantage that one of
them can be found printed on most lenses and brochures, and corresponds
to a scale which many of us have learned as a ready reference system.
I'd have to resort to a pause for thought to work out what a 30-degree
field of view was, but I reckon everybody here knows what to expect
from a lens marked as 80mm equivalent focal length.

I'd side with Winston Churchill, and opt for clarity of communication.

Absolutely, my P&S has printed around the lens 6.0-22.5mm, it means
jack sh*t, the zoom scale on the rear display is shows 28-105, that I
can relate to.

Surge protector manufacturers often have an insurance policy on devices 
connected to their product that get fried.  Contact the manufacturer.  The 
surge protector is probably fried too.

Re: PPG

halfway down, then pick my spot. I'm pleased with this camera in so many ways.

 I have had a few instances of images I really liked being rejected.
 Some have been accepted after re-submission.

I haven't used  K-R, so I don't know how the autofocus compares, but I suspect 
the SDM lenses are part of the equation.

GESO: Not again...

2011-06-12 Thread David Mann

Just a few snapshots of liquefaction that occurred in our neighbourhood from 
today's 5.5 and 6.0 aftershocks.

This is about all I found so it's actually a lot better than we had in 
February.  No damage to our house or its contents.

I have a glass of Gentleman Jack in me.  I think my spelling is doing well so I 
probably haven't quite had enough ;)

http://www.multi.net.nz/quake-jun-13/

I was out on my lunch break for the 5.5 so I was walking around at ground 
level.  I knew it was fairly big but nothing to really worry about.  The 6.0 
was quite intense.  We're on the upper level of a two-storey building and it 
shakes enough when trucks go past.  I was starting to wonder if the building 
was going to fall apart.  It'd be the strongest shaking I've ever experienced.  
We all went home after that one.

Cheers,
Dave
