So it turns out quite a few people feel the way I do. I would print

I too recently bought a notebook for all-around use including photo
editing. I was also wondering about the merits of the extra-brite
screens for photo viewing/editing. I was too lazy to research it so I

received it yet..
Now *that's* an idea...

hey,

K-mount rentals seems to be completely non-existent. In Santa Barbara

Hi Shel and all,
A late comment on the original photograph.
I think it is interesting - the idea and the description, which
suggest that people in all walks of life can enjoy breakfast in bed.
It does give me to think, and in that sense it is a good photograph.
I agree with Jostein, however,
Amazing pic, Mark! Thanks for sharing.
btw check out http://www.mreclipse.com/LEphoto/LEphoto.html
it has some really nice hints for photographing eclipses (the site
appears to be down right now), especially 'eclipse trails' or multiple
exposures
Badri
Wish I had that luck! It's completely clouded over here and I can't
even see the eclipse!
I don't have a long tele, so I was planning to try multiple exposures
using an old beat-up Yashica A TLR - well, maybe next time!
Do show us what you get, Mark.. Badri

I think I'm going to try to shoot it too.. Moonrise here (California)
is at 6 pm and totality is between 7.23 pm and 8.45 pm.. I guess I'll
try to shoot the onset of totality when the moon is lower in the sky.
It's cloudy here too, though, and there's a thunderstorm forecast - I

I don't see how the marketing of photojournalism as art or otherwise
has anything to do with the merit of the photographer, HCB or anyone
else. Any reasonably discerning viewer would know to judge the piece

I don't suppose there's a (pro) fix to make my (newbie) ZX-M
viewfinder any better? I've never used any other MF body but I know
from comparing specs that it's small, and not terribly bright. It's
also got specks of dust on it, but the screen's 'fixed' so I don't
know if it's cleanable. I

Brian's right, this image has all the potential for being an 'optical

I'm wondering what the original image looks like, with detail in the
background instead of pure black?
Neat work.

Thanks, Don. I see what you mean now: I thought the 50/1.2 was quoted

Hi,
I am a novice photographer, learning the game with a ZX-M (MZ-M in
Europe, I believe) behind a SMC-A 50/2 lens (I own no other equipment
whatsoever, though I intend to get a tripod and maybe a flash).
The manual says it does 'Multi (2)-segment metering' if the lens has
