Nikon 45mm First Shots

A lens that isn’t listed at the nikon site, but is a refurb… Just got this today. Mr Hogan hates it, but momma don’t care what Hogi don’t like…

Two first shots showing the background foreground distinction with this bastard nikon love child.45mmtree.jpgThis shows the “edge burn” aka “fall off” wide open.

Buying Bags

It seems endless. Worse, it is endless. There is no perfect camera bag, not anymore so than there are the perfect shoes.
But why do we pay so much for this imperfection? If we look at guns & ammo or fish & bait shops there are many more choices for carrying their tools and their plunder. And at less price…
Why is this?
I think the answer is that camera shoppers are competing with dentists while those gun toters are competing with people who should go to the dentist.
But that’s just my first thought… Maybe a nobel for economics is in my future…Thank you thank you thank you…

Skratch That

PS4 (problem soft Version 4)… have unknowns, then delete the preference file. When the software doesn’t behave. You’ve changed and changed again, yet it seems to play “aint misbehavin” then reset, delete, reset your preferences… it can’t hurt anymore and in more than one case it has solved the riddle. Seems likely that the Adobe crew pre-released to keep a promise to someone in marketing. Hope marketing is buying tech support many many many pizzas.
