Today's gift

A kind man, a film photographer, gave me (with the purchase of a K1000 & several lenses) a frozen brick of APX 25 / 120. Wowzer! Sincerely, Collin Brendemuehl "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose" -- Jim Elliott -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@

focus screen adjustment shims and AF adjustment

A couple weeks ago, my cheapo split prism focusing screen came in. It doesn't seem to focus at quite the same point as does the autofocus, but the differences are slight. I ran some tests and it might be slightly front focusing: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157629575267511/

re Mac iPhoto

If there was an ad, I missed it. Beyond that: A great set of photos that really made me envious. I really liked the spider shot. I don't mind getting right up-close and personal using a reverse adapter ring. But, I figure that's because I don't live in a place where the spiders will kill you
