One reason Google reduced the number you can post to from 10 to 5, which IMO, is still too many. I remember the pancake lens that was sold about 15 years back, Pentax or Minolta, I'm not sure which, but it SUCKED compared to a decent 50mm full size lens, in terms of resolution and contrast. It's sole purpose was to be slim and it was inexpensive relative to standard 50mm f1.4 lenses. -Rich |

That is your opinion. I give as much weight to that as finding a telephone
pole and playing sit and spin. John "David H. Lipman" wrote in message news:XELwd.124$_62.28@trnddc01... Actually, yes, it is. Now you know, PLEASE don't do it again.

Good for Google, as for the rest of it did you forget some meds?

That's why you performed the spam in the first place !
I have NEVER confronted a spammer who didn't think what they did wasn't spam. Those that are confrontable are in denial. Those that can't be confronted know they spam, do it anyway, and that's why they can't be confronted. Dave "John Doe" wrote in message ... | That is your opinion.

One might be a mistake, two or more is SPAM. It is quite obvious that your intention not was to SPAM, and that talks well of you. But the result was SPAM. It would be even better if you just admitted that you made a mistake. Now it starts to get just embarrising for you when you try to defend a lost cause. /Roland |

Scenes where absolute sharpness/contrast were not as important as the ipmact of the scene. Shoot with fast, grainy, contrasty, pushed 400 B&W and who cares how sharp the damned lens is?
