Pretty sad when your own lens-line is such s--- someone can sell a $400-$700 adapter for it just so you can use someone else's...

Unless those boosters are humans running down the program,
"degenerate" is the correct word.

Which leads me to wonder, though, if "boosters" is a known and used
term in New Zealand in a human context. Human boosters are fans of
something. We (in the US) refer to "athletic boosters" when we are
referring to fans that support the team, and do so by more than just
cheering. An athletic booster may donate money to a university team
to pay for scholarships or improvements of the athletic facilities.


A turbo-booster makes your car go faster. A rocket booster makes your
rocket accelerate faster. Children ride in a booster seat. Weak
signels are regenerated by a signal booster. When stopping, drivers
are assisted by a brake booster.

We refer to it in the USA as a turbo-charger, not a turbo-booster.

Turbo is an acronym, a contraction of turbine and booster... HTH!

No, not really. See http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=turbo-

The word turbine is a derivate of the latin turbo, which means "spinning

Correcting myself he a turbine is a reversed propeller... It's used i
conjunction with the latter to produce a turbine booster or charger in
cars and jets and thus is turbo a correct acronym of turbo booster.
Turbo charger OTOH...
