I'm sorry my poor explanation doesn't do it justice, but I see a better quality in detail. Similar to when you compare a print from a 35mm camera to a print from a medium format camera. Sorry, my bad, I did not understand that you are a MF expert. You got to be kidding............... |

I never claimed to be such. I only stated what I honestly saw. In hindsight, I wish I never posted. I have to give credit to this newsgroup, because over the years I did learn a lot about digital photography and some film photography. But what I can never understand is why people choose to be so cruel. So, is Bret sending the 40D to you ...? -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. -- usenet posts from gmail.com and googlemail.com are filtered out. |

But what I can never understand is why people choose to be so cruel. Not cruel at all just not seeing what you are seeing I guess. Certainley the two small shots are ordinary at best and the big one of the cat is soft and downright scratchy around the edges. I am sure the camera can do very well, these are simply not particularly good examples and do not deserve the superlatives that you gush forward with. |

"..these are simply not particularly good examples and do not deserve the superlatives that you gush forward with." Larry "Rita" Thong seems to think so: "WOW! Simply breathtaking! The hound looks so good. I'm not sure about the Divs, though. I can't wait to see the video. Also, let us see some Spike shots as he's ready to pose for the new cam." C'mon Helen! Quoting "Rita"/"Larry" on anything.... really....He's setting you guys up. -- john mcwilliams |

Yeah I know, which is why I thought Pete should take it up with "Rita", because he seems to relish in online arguments and he does it so well. I don't come here to argue and I've grown very tired of it. As I said before I wish I never posted in the first place. So why don't you take a clue and STOP POSTING altogether? Everyone could do with less noise from the likes of you. |

It would be unfortunate if the positive posters disappeared due to excessive negativism... Keep on posting, Helen... Dudley |

Whatever happened to freedom of speech? Nothing. Noise generation on the other hand is bothersome. Everything needs balance. It would be unfortunate if the positive posters disappeared due to excessive negativism... It would be even more fortunate if some posters developed a clue and started posting that makes sense, instead of the usual inane drivel. Keep on posting, Helen... You call what she does "posting"? It figures... |

You do understand that it isn't a human rights abuse to offer up a compliment, don't you? Keep on posting, Helen... You call what she does "posting"? It figures... Helen's cheery messages afford a perfect counterweight to your downright drudgery... Take Care, Dudley |

And I'm sure I don't give a flying pluck about "freedom of speech" in the case of a known Usenet troll. I reserve that sort of "freedoms indignation" for cases that deserve real attention. Of course, you can waste time and effort with Usenet trolls yourself. I'm sure that's exactly the sort of attitude that has allowed that moron Bush to go on for so long. Hint: anywhere else, it's called apathy and lack of concentration. One poster's inane drivel is another's compliment. You do understand that it isn't a human rights abuse to offer up a compliment, don't you? Of course I do. It doesn't make it any less moronic in Helen's case. Which is rather the point. Helen's cheery messages afford a perfect counterweight to your downright drudgery... Hey, we "counterweight" each other. See? There's your "perfect balance". At least we do something. You do nothing but post off topic and show no photos anywhere. Good boy, now: back to bed. |
