So you basically did the entire process of taking the picture through processing in your dark room? That is so cool.

I gave up as well. Mine has been unused now since about the second week I owned it.

He just needs to get by until lunch number 2 at 2:30.

Man Ari, you must be busy with all your weekend clubs. Photo, Audio Society, Headphone Molesters Anonymous Did you ever develop your Zoo shots? I have been seeing cameras like yours on CL and while they are gorgeous, I do not think I have the skill or patience to work in film. That club looks like an interesting one. I have not found many group outings in my limited searches in the area.

That is good info. I have heard the 24 and 35 were must haves but the 50s should be passed on. I like the 50 f1.2 on the 5D a lot so I thought that would be a good start but all I have picked up yet is the 14-24.

I am liking my S100 more and more over time.

Happy Birthday

So I have purchased two Nikon bodies but no lenses. Nikon has so many acronyms I am going to have to learn to find out which lenses are worth picking up for FF camera usage. Any of the many Nikon guys/girls here have any recommendations?

Thanks Dan, I was just thinking about buying one of those this morning on Amazon.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday.

"Mackinlay's Rare Old Highland Malt is a meticulous re-creation of the original malt whisky shipped to Antarctica in 1907 by the explorer Ernest Shackleton to fortify his 'Nimrod' expedition. The story of how several wooden crates of this precious whisky were abandoned to the Antarctic winter in early 1909, then rediscovered over a century later, is one that celebrates the enduring spirit of both man and malt. You can read all about the journey and re-discovery on this site, and we also reveal how this unique whisky was carefully re-created for you to savour and enjoy." The rest of the story. http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/shackletons-whisky-mackinlays-rare-old-highland-malt/

Just returned from a gift exchange lunch with Dinny. I feel that I was completely spoiled by my exchange partner with a great meal at Smith & Wollensky's and the coolest bottle of Whisky evar. I like my booze with a great story. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.750014,-73.975040

If Fuji doesn't completely revamp the user interface and function from the X100 I have now I don't think I will be buying.

I can get the 5DmkII gripped/L-bracketed/quick release/R-Strap with 50 f1.2 on and the 35 and 16-35 on the sides if I lose their hoods. Kind of a finicky bag with all of the clasps and flaps but I think with the right inserts it can be used and I like the looks a lot better than my ThinkTanks.

Man, these Billingham bags are aggravating. I do not know how people are fitting two pro bodies and 4 lenses in this thing, I cannot comfortably fit one with three lenses. Even then it is a major operation to get anything in or out of the bag. The little ThinkTank Retro 10 would easily fit everything I am trying to shoehorn into this much bigger bag with no problem. The crappy inserts that come with it will not hold anything buy kit lenses so I bought all the extras and that takes up extra space. Maybe the 435 could be the Nex 7 bag?

Happy almost late Birthday Jacob.

Happy Birthday

Some more from Texas.

Happy Birthday Ken.

Sorry to hear that Mike, my condolences to you and your family.
