Just in case:
I wonder if Eric Hendrickson might be able to fix it, even though he
says that he is not working on digital cameras.
Before sending it to Pre-Cession, e-mail Eric to see if he'd be willing to
look at it.

Larry,

Some additional thoughts:
Samsung, whose cards I liked most recently, seems to have stopped
producing SD cards, but now they produce micro-SD cards exclusively,

lenses, which need at least as sturdy a tripod as a big heavy telephoto!),
I'd use it even more.
Yes, my Kickstarter pledge is already in place. :-)

Dale, that is a very nice image.
It's been 18 or 19 years since I've been to that area last time.
When I was looking at the photo, it reminded me of old photos.
I thought that if it were mine, I'd probably try to play with
some soft-lens effect (like that of Pentax F-85/2.8-soft).

That's a very interesting visual story.
Thank you for sharing it, Dan!
I noticed an interesting phrase in it:
"Rents were still affordable and charisma was more appreciated than a PhD
or any other academic expertise."
I thought that it describes the country today, except for the rents part.
I've just discovered two interested facts about Eneloop batteries.
First, Panasonic acquired Sanyo in 2009. As a result, Eneloop batteries
are labeled as "made by Panasonic", but it looks like only since 2013.

I've missed that development, - the rechargeable AA Li-ion batteries.
But the price is ...argh!... not even biting, rather - eating you alive:

Just in case, - did you mean $15-20 each of for a pair?
I can see many Amazon listings where each battery costs only

I think using new, _non-standard_ format of batteries for [almost] every
new model is a crime against humanity.
I am glad that almost all DSLRs (except the first 2 or 3?) from Pentax are
at least using the same battery format.
Those 2CR5's were a pain. I was glad that *istDS could take AA's
That was my first reaction, but then I started thinking carefully about
it.
Besides dealing with copyright issues in photography, in my work, I
closely worked with copyright laws and
