Have you been to the Publican for lunch? Is there a full menu?

I'll be downtown. I'd like to go to Avec but that could be a long wait. I'll think about Frontera Grill. I'm not much of a pizza person (even authentic italian). Sunshine Cafe looks awesome.

I'm headed to Chicago next week and I'm looking for a few places to eat. I won't be driving so they'll have to be accessible by train/cab. I'm looking for somewhere for a nice Saturday lunch date. Around $100 for 2 without alcohol should be fine. I was thinking the RL restaurant (which I heard was good from a friend) and The Purple Pig. I'd have loved to gone to the Girl and the Goat but it's not open for lunch. Any suggestions? I'm also looking for a few places for casual dinner with friends. Under $30 per person. Cafe Iberico sounded intriguing. Sushi Wabi or Coast Sushi Bar. Longman and Eagle but I doubt we could find a seat. de Cero sounds interesting.

http://similarminds.com/jung.html Yeah.. this test is much much better than the first one. I was ESTJ or ESTP Extroverted (E) 54.05% Introverted (I) 45.95% Sensing (S) 74.19% Intuitive (N) 25.81% Thinking (T) 59.09% Feeling (F) 40.91% Perceiving (P) 50% Judging (J) 50%

I found it interesting that wiki says the INTJ is one of the rarest personality types (1-4%) when all of my close friends and clearly most of the people here are INTJ.

So recently, a friend of mine sent an MBTI test my way and I found out my type. Then I asked my close friends and realized that every single one (5/5) are the same type. I was wondering if we have the same bias in this forum. If I were to guess, I'd say it wouldn't be as predominant but there would still be a skew towards the same type. Please don't read up on the test before you take it because I think it would skew your results. Here's the test. http://www.humanmetr...win/jtypes2.asp I am I would expect most people to be

Guys, I know it's annoying to change, but I'd highly recommend Mumble over Ventrilo. Far better voice quality and much lower latency.

Have a happy belated birthday!

I was honestly impressed. I thought it far worse by what everyone has been saying but I guess he's not focusing super close.

Jeff, Get your NEX-7 in yet?

Match pewter rocks glass. http://www.didriks.com/Match-Rocks-Glass-Crystal.html

Here's the matching old fashioned glass

now i really really want this.

Haha, well seeing as you drink so much Scotch. Would you guys recommend a Boston or cobbler shaker?

What barware do you use? I'm looking for a good set.

uh.. is it just me or does the 5d iii not have a DOF preview button?

You picking up the new 24-70, Jeff?

Happy birthday! And just in time for the D800 release? It must be fate.

If the X Pro-1 optical viewfinder is anything like the x100's. It won't be extremely useful. Especially at long focal lengths. When I shot with the x100, i pretty much stuck with EVF 90% of the time.

Anyone interested in the OM-D? It seems nice but M43 has its limitations. Mostly DOF and low light capability. Although since it's olympus, I'm sure AF will be extremely quick. Much quicker than the X-pro1

Sensor size is the cause of DOF difference. Edit: Oh, someone already said it.

Just about everything Nikon does is opposite of Canon. I even remember in the AI-s days, Nikon's aperture catch was spring loaded so that the releasing it closed down the aperture (which makes more sense) while Canon was the opposite. And of course, you'll have a hell of a time getting used to the EV dial/indicator. One thing I'd love to know though is, how is Canon 7d AF (current mainstream generation) vs. Nikon's AF?

Expansys USA had the preorder for $1384.99 (35mm kit) but took it down. The UK site is still up and listed at £1,079.99 so the pricing is probably right. edit: Also, if you're considering spending $3500, have you thought about the M8?

Pentax K-5 is a heck of a lot bigger than the OM-1, no? So you don't really have another choice.

Well.. there's some uncertainty regarding the pricing. There are some talks of $1700 kit and some of $1700 body only. The former is high but acceptable but the latter is just outrageous. I'd rather get the 5dII.
