Re: OT: Masters of American Photography stamps - question
My impression was that there was a kind of recall or stop distribution order or something 60 mil? I saw a pane listed for $27 somewhere.. but less on ebay. Inerestinglyone man ray stamp sold for $4.++ on ebay. It would be good to find some answers - i did use some back then and occasionally later from the batch I broke up.

Paul, I looked at some images of both. The Pine Siskin has a yellow primary in the wing (like the one in your shot) whereas the Vesper Sparrow does not.

Re: how hideous
Larry, Actually, Samsung does that with a "dual-camera" setup, - where they realize a "portrait" mode. It's actually quite good, - I saw one just two days ago, when a hair master took a few photos of the customer. It minimizes or even eliminates that wide-lens-selfie effect, and also blurs the background, - as you see with a portrait or telephoto lens. I am not sure if this is the model I've seen, but this article has some samples at the bottom of the page: https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/5/16253308/samsung-galaxy-note-8-review Larry Colen Thu, 12 Apr 2018 13:59:33 -0700 wrote: One question is whether they also do something optically to correct for the crop factor. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
