...do you keep your glasses on (I can't and won't do contact lenses)
when looking through the viewfinder, or do you depend on the in-camera
adjustments for eyesight that many newer cameras have?
I usually take my glasses off, but as I get older it's getting harder

I have some old MC and MD lenses, and there appears to be an adapter
available for using them on a Sony A100 digital body.  Anyone here
using them that way?  I considered selling them on ebay, but found
they would fetch almost nothing!  I've been thinking about switching

I recently bought a 15mm full-frame fisheye, mainly for fun and
amusement, but it could be used for some serious wide-angles, also.  I
have had thoughts about buying Canon's 24mm tilt-shift lens... someday.
I remember Bret rented one and decided it wasn't worth buying one.

Took this one yesterday at midday.

It isn't a faked photo.  It was shot with the 400 f/5.6L from the

camera to give clear sharp images with all their lenses ...

As everyone knows, Christmas is all about the children.

I've been through a lot of the posts and still have some questions.  My
wife and I have two point and shoots that we bring with us when we
travel - an Olympus and a Yashica.  It's the old problem of wanting

    Spent the day yesterday at the zoo, having a wonderful time. Pretty
quiet there, so plenty of the animals were, naturally, being photogenic.
       While I may put up an entire gallery a little later on, here's a
holiday greeting from one of the new additions.

This is probably a stupid question, and I think I know the answer, but
I have to ask.
I have a desire to do some senior pictures of my son.  Problem is, I am
not into portrature at all, other than some posed and candid outside

had a lady come in wanting to print some photos yesterday. Her card went
into one of the consoles and came up with no photos found. I had a
closer look and found that all the photos were .raw not .jpg, and the
consoles can't handle raw format. She had no idea what raw was and no

Hard to believe that the Holiday Season is already upon us and
Christmas is only (YIKES!) 10 days away.  Have you been naughty or nice
