Macy's in NYC is having a flower show
http://www.macys.com/campaign/flowershow/index.jsp
I'm thinking of going.  Anyone been to it previously?  Its indoors, so
I don't know what kind of filter is going to be needed for whatever

I'm considering one of these two lenses.  Has anyone used both lenses?  The
17-40 gets fantastic reviews, perhaps better than the 16-35.  The 16-35
offers one more stop, and extra wide millimeter and is reportedly better at
the long end.  The 17-40 is $700 less, and that's a lot.  ...

I saw a program on the TV and it was claimed most cameras are built in
china. is this true ?

       ... but Al's back too! Hold onto your bladders!
       The images in question are all at
http://www.pbase.com/shootin/wildcard2, and anyone is welcome to join in.
I'm happy to lambaste everyone.

Someone was interested in why different batteries have the voltages they do.
Why they can't make a non-mercury cell that has the same voltage as the old
mercury cells, for example. Here is an explanation for this, plus some other
links to the voltages of electro chemical ...

After checking the website of the station that ran the story about
mercury batteries in toys, I found they got the story from the state
evironmental agency.
I went to that site and read the full statement by the state agency.

Has anyone started using these things yet? I recently got a Samsung
CLP-500 but I am very disappointed with it. I didn't buy it with the
notion of using it to make high quality colour prints, but rather to use

flash? When I setup the SB-800 to REMOTE, then it fires only when the
build-in flash in on, but then the build-in flash fires together ...
