Hey, Wrong forum. This is the 35mm group, not the 38mm group...


You're right! Let's create a new newsgroup NOW!

No, no, you are making it all to hard, combine everything into the Image
Creation Group and just talk about creating great (well maybe mediocre)
images. Everyone, but the slightly confused non-evolutionists, will be
happy that way.

Veto- all the super-talented individuals from r.p.e.35mm who have switched
to r.p.e.38mm will flock to the new group, leaving the OT thread quota
*significantly lacking*.

I have little reason to distrust her, since she told me about using her
OM-PC (35mm) outfit for the past 24 years, but finally relented and got
herself a Kodak digital camera that produced, and I kid you not, *4*, that's
right, *four* megapixels. If pixels were dollars, that would mean two thirds
of a bionic man, just to put this in perspective.


As I see it, after using 35mm film equipment for 24 years, she switched to
a 4MP digital camera.... am I missing something? I mean, I sometimes
borrow my friend's 5.5MP Canon to take quick snaps, and they're still
nowhere as sharp and clear as my Pentax ZX-L with SMC lenses! Why would
anyone, that too with 24 years of experience, be blown away by 4
megapixels??

Okay, I was, for some indeterminate reason, poking around in the
photo
department of Wal-Mart yesterday, and for those unfamiliar with this
line of stores, they are a do-it-all-halfass chain of department
stores specializing in snack foods...

So I was chatting with the woman staffing the photo department
about the
wonderful range of digital cameras they offer there, most of which I
would have trouble finding in the same pocket as my keys. What came
next stunned me though, as I was informed that some digitals have now
advanced beyond 35mm cameras - they go up to 38mm!


ROTFL!!! I assume she was referring the the 38mm equiv. focal length at
wide angle of her compact digital camera.
