Finally got this newsgroup on news.speedfactory.net, January 12, 2005. www.covingtoninnovations.com/dslr Very good site !

Very strange, usually a new site is propagated in less than 24 hours.

But -- because of a series of "newgroup" floods (which brought news servers to their knees, as the news server software was not designed for thousands of newsgroup messages at once), many news servers (including mine) have automatic newsgroup creation turned off, and newsgroup creation depends on me spotting the name of an interesting newsgroup in the daily set of messages from the servers, and manually creating the newsgroup. I think that I will keep it this way, as I only get a partial newsfeed (by choice) anyway. I've only got one T1 line, and the totality of usenet several years ago passed the bandwidth requirements of two T1 lines. :-) Enjoy, DoN.

They usually propagate withing 24 hours (eg, a new IP + website name). newsgroups are in worldwide dissarray. My ISP does not carry this ng, I post via an account that a friend set up elsewhere.

Hmmm... I'll consider it. That was a > very lightweight camera and lens... A good point, but the 'proper holding technique' provides stability in three ways ... a) it relieves the weight from the other hand (share the load) and b) it helps get that left elbow tucked in. c) As the weight is relieved somewhat from the right hand, it allows a gentler and more even pressure on the shutter ... less blur. You look less goofy too. Cheers, Alan.

Agreed -- with most cameras. There was one SLR which was designed to be held the way he was holding his in the photo. That was the Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super, which had a pair of raised lumps on the focusing ring (very close to the body), positioned for a finger from each hand to alternate in adjusting the focus. Of course -- it was not a real interchangeable lens camera -- only the front element was interchangeable with a single wide-angle and a single telephoto replacement. That was my first SLR -- but I quickly learned better with later cameras -- where the left hand not only supports the lens, but is positioned to adjust the aperture ring (if not handled automatically), the focus ring (if no autofocus), and the zoom (if present). Enjoy, DoN.
