Hi all,
my recently acquired and recently servised Super A has developed a problem
with the shutter release. Sometimes it just won't fire - by that I mean I
can't depress the release (at least to the position where it fires). Could
it be that the batteries are old? When this happens, after a few s
Hi all,
some people on the list have written that a Nikon HK-4 hood is perfect for
the VS1 35-80. I was wondering if it would be shallow enough for a 28-70
lens (namely - a Tokina AT-X AF, the first one with the rotating front
element), or would there be a ligh fall-off? Anyone has ever used this

Jeff, Dave Chang-Sang and I got together yesterday at the Canadian
National Exhibition (the CNE, or "Ex") for some picture taking of the
Airshow, a few drinks, some food, and some shots of the midway.
The airshow was great - we couldn't hear the announcer where we were,
but I think we saw (and to
Good point.
Cameron mentioned using Outlook Express in his original post.

Depends on your email program. Only the middle one was highlighted for
me.
I'm not bothered though; I can always cut & paste the address.

Sorry, but by "new" I meant "newly acquired", not "brand spanking new

Bob,
When I was young, I got English lessons at school from age 11.
Today, kids get them from age 7.
On tv, all but children programs are texted rather than dubbed. Guess that
counts for something too. Anyway, as a former teacher myself, it's nice to
hear that many Norwegians can communicate well
Good lens ... and a very charming girl!

In agreement with Rob more than JCO here! A good portrait, for
example, may be soft everywhere, _except_ the eyes, which should be
perfectly clear and sharp. Which is why a soft filter is so popular
for this type of work. On the other hand, if looking at hard-edged
objects, for example raci

How about such fatuous use of the language as:
Commonly in Australian newspapers, when postage rates are increased -
"The price of a 40c stamp will increase tomorrow to 45c". No it won't!

Jostein,
Your comments remind me of when I was at university in 1961. I had as a
room mate a Norwegian. Through Wiggo, I met several others. I was astounded
with their command and usage of the English language! Later, I found out
that it was taught from and early age.

Your examples really make me smile. We see the same process going on in

a first page headline reading "two more papers on strike monday".
