Nikon 50mm f4.0 vs. 50mm f2.8

On 3/4/2004 9:21 PM HypoBob spake thus:

When enlarging, the negative is the subject and the focus limits around it
are in the depth of field. The print acts like the film and is in the
focal plane of the lens, so the terminology down there is the depth of
focus. It sounded a little strange to me too, but I saw that nomenclature
in a few references, one of which is on page 292 of Ralph Lambrecht's book
"Way Beyond Monochrome".

Thanks for pointing that out and setting me straight.

I am in complete agreement with the sentiments in your signature block, but
I fear that The Little Moron has a huge supply of money and dirty tricks
that will carry the day. I hope you live in a swing state where your vote
will count for something. I live in California where our votes don't
count, but TLM's energy buddies love our $2.25 a gallon gasoline.

Nope, California too: hell, I can vote for Ralph (again) for all the
difference it will make here.

The Bush administration should restrain itself from its imperial arrogance
that has so alienated countries around the world. Their contempt for the
United Nations in the dash to war with Iraq; their support of the coup in
Venezuela in April 2002, and the continuing hostility toward President
Chavez; the pressure on nations of the world to exempt the US from the
International Criminal Court, now joined by their contemptuous attitude
toward President Aristide must be halted. It is time for the people of the
USA to make this point clear even if the administration continues to walk
around with wax in its collective ears, with eyes closed, and ranting about
its version of the world as defined by Bush.
