An 18mm lens field of view on the DSLR bodies is about the same as a
28mm lens for film SLRs. Buy a lens hood for a 28mm lens with the
appropriate 58mm threads and you'll be fine. I see wide-angle lens
hoods like this for prices from $9.50 to $60 at B&H Photo.

I use the filter just for front element protection, as I do on many of
my other lenses. Call me paranoid. :-) On most of other lenses using

Isn't this basically running a shell program of Windows, which allows
one to run PhotoShop? That seems like a stretch to me. Wouldn't it be
faster to just run windows on the same machine? If you have to run a
shell to use the software you want, you're probably using the wrong
operating syst
Hmmm ... just curious, why are you using a UV filter on this lens? Are you
using a lens hood? If so, what hood are you using?

Photoshop runs pretty well under Linux using Crosso
How important is this spec to the overall image quality? Would there be a
noticeable/detectable difference between .26 and .28 for instance?
Thanks Rob and Godfrey. :-)

Hmmm. Titles can be a problem. I thought about calling it "Winter
Berries," which is perhaps more accurate. But although we've had
heavy frost, it's technically still autumn for another month. In any
case, it's about the last little bit of life left on the vine. It's
not about the bounty of

As I've written to Shel, the chromatic aberration I mentioned was eaten

It doesn't really convey autumn to me, I'm afraid. The essence of
autumn, surely, is mellow fruitfulness and plenty, but the picture is
dominated by empty stalks. The few fruits there are serve only to
emphasise the absence of fruits on the other stalks. The blank
background ditto.
