Neil (i before e except after the N in Neil...) was in NY recently and will be in Chicago soon, I think. See the website: http://www.neilinnes.org/ All my albums burgled last year (again) so I'm starting the collection once more. Looking for the Alberts/Bonzos/Temperance Seven album. Just to come slightly back to topic, I'm expecting my LX back from servicing in St. Petersburg soon. Interested to see what it's going to feel like, having been serviced for the first time. mike - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: Funny OT: Canon ad
Nothing scream AMATEUR louder than ads like that. It is also on the outside back cover of Nov. Pop Photography. I would truly be embarrased if I were a Canon shooter.

RE: Funny OT: Canon ad
Full page ad in Nov. Scientific American: Nothing screams AMATEUR like a third party lens Yeah. Saw it. Just about the most offensive ad I've seen since the famous Nike You don't win the silver you lose the gold ad. Nothing screams TWIT like a person who buys expensive stuff so they can LOOK like a professional. I think Sigma's latest EX series lens offerings are scaring the sh*t out of a lot of camera manufacturers. Canon seems worried, anyway ;) -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.

RE: Funny OT: Canon ad
Funny, all the recent model Canons I've handled have felt flimsy and amateur to me. I like the AE1, but that's about it. The Eos series cameras feel and handle like toys. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.

Re: Funny OT: Canon ad
But to further reply to your post, I guess that what I was trying to say (in a rather tongue-in-cheek fashion), is why do they have to slight amateurs in their ad? I know we've had a few pro vs. amateurs slugfests here, so I don't want to start one of those again. But some of the most beautiful photographs I've ever seen have been taken by amateurs. And some work by pros (whatever definition you want to use - and once again, I don't want to open that kettle of fish either) that I've seen has been, to say the least, uninspiring. I know the ad was probably intended to be somewhat humourous, but the underlying assumption or inference that using pro equipment makes you a better photographer disturbs and upsets me somewhat. -regards, frank Mark Roberts wrote: Frank Theriault [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: But I AM an amateur...
