so valuable, because those in the know,
( the type of photographers who tend

know that the M85 is not a viable alternative

FYI, Here's another sample shot with the
SMC-M 85mm F2.0 lens taken
at F11 and at min. focus distance
of ~3 feet. The bokeh isn't
as bad as wide open, but it
still is noticably not quite
right IMHO. Lens is definately
sharp though, note the details in the
foreground leaves and stems...
CATEGORICALLY FALSE - this particular bokeh problem can be easily
seen in-camera viewfinder when focussing, can be seen in the
unedited RAW files, can be easily seen with ZERO
sharpening, and BOKEH is of such a scale
relative to sharpening that I

If you look at the first bokeh test photo
I posted shot at F2.0 from yesterday ,you will see the
bokeh is not ordinary, its extraordinarily
bad, kinda jagged double imaged looking. this second shot at F11 still
shows
some of that wierd double image/jaggedness but I probably
should have posted them
the key here is the focus distance.
Some
lenses are formulated for medium or infinity focus. Other, macros for
example, are formulated of close distance performance.
Again, I compliment you on the f11 shot of the bottle brush.

Correct, the best HDTV is better presentation
than most if not all theaters in terms
of image quality. I just saw GRINDHOUSE
in the best theater in my area, cost me
$9.50 and the PQ was much WORSE than
a good HDTV presentation on my home theater.

the region-code enforcement works, de facto, without the
need
for a law.
If it's not a law, it can't be illegal. I'll believe it's illegal when
you
provide proof that a law exists instead of just supposing one does.

establishments in their cities. For
example, a couple of friends in Tel Aviv have region free DVD players.
And, as I said in an earlier post, they are readily available at
numerous outlets in San Francisco

WRONG
region coding is not just rigging the market,
it allows DVDs to be released a specific
time after the theatrical release regardless
of the regional timing. If there was
no regional coding, the USA would have to
wait much longer for the global DVD
to be issued because in general many USA
I disagree because there are DVD hardware
and software licensing issues and these
region codings issues are part of those
licensing AGREEMENTS.

Then there must be some kind of loophole
or blantant disregard
you never had an HDTV then, if you arent
seeing your show, films, and events, in HD,
then the replacement is already overdue no matter
what year it is. HDTV is not just improved analog
TV, its an entire order of magnitude better all
new system and viewing experience.

No. I said a yellow recommended speed sign is not a posted speed limit,
at
least where I live, and it's therefore not breaking a law to ignore a
suggestion. It is against the law to exceed the limit.
