Re: What gear is on your "short list"?

Nikon introduced three tilt-shift lenses as recently as 2008. Mind you, I agree that perspective correction is now best achieved in post, but most people, sadly, seem to be buying these lenses for the oh-so-cute "toy" effect and gimmicky portraits using the tilt to narrow the field of focus. --

Back to the actual topic... I seem to have reached a near-Godfrey-like satori with regards to my photo gear. There may be a K-5 in my future, but mainly because I'd live to have something smaller than the K20D for bicycle travel. (I'm still only working part-time and the adjunct faculty gig doesn'

Re: What gear is on your "short list"?

If you have a Porsche you still have to drive it. It doesn't mean that a better driver won't do better in the Porsche than in a minivan. I don't question the central importance of the photographer. But if the equipment doesn't matter then we're all idiots for spending all this money on bodies

That's how I picture Iowa. Nice shot. As said above, it's too bad the front tress got clipped. Assuming, of course, they actually had tops. On Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 5:31 PM, Bob W wrote: >> Sometimes the cold is made visible and even beautiful. This was taken >> in >> Iowa but doesn't scream Io
