a touch of barrel and pincushion distortion at either end of it's zoom
range), it's kind of old timey in it's implementation of close focusing,

During my recent short conference trip to Russia, many people

having some camera, including some C/N DSLR) asked me about the strange

conundrum). Many peop

No problem Mark, scouring the internet so you don't have to.

I agree with you Paul. I am under no illusions with regard to the
stock photography market these days.

I'm guessing that Don is being serious. I'd love to see some photos of
that lens, Don! Does it have a tripod foot on it? How many aperture
blades. Inquiring minds want to know!

I think that someone is confusing the JC Penny 2.8 with a 1.8.

Absolutely true, Scouts honor. I used it just last nite after sunset to
shoot some dangling crab apples. Some bokeh. I remember ordering it from
their catalog for my Ricoh film camera.

Not necessarily. m42 135mm f1.8s were manufactured by Sigma, Mitake,

That's very true of complex computing devices. Even Windows when it was

But that's still a side issue. There are only c

What is important to you isn't necessarily important to someone else.
I am really having trouble figuring out what specific problem there is
with video on a still camera. Don't use it. I don't use the video

Ken, there's no comparison between the smaller LED light units and a
hotshoe flash; the flash is many stops brighter.
I compared my 160-LED unit with an AF540 flash using a lightmeter and got this:
