Mac Has Finally Digitalized

Yep,

Good ol' Chris over at SRS has done me a great service, and has promised to send me a refurb all the way to Canada.

In case you haven't heard, it is well worth checking with Chris for all your DSLR needs.

Now, veteran forum members remember their efforts to get me started back in my Spotmatic days - through K Mount, up to Auto Focus etc. And much appreciated!

Can't ya'll just imagine the trouble I'll get into with pixels and a computer?

Uh, where's everybody going?

Whaddayamean you hear your mother calling?

Hey!............

"I'm just a lonely boy, lonely a blue....."

I looked out my window and it's still spring here in Manitoba.... meaning Hell hasn't frozen over... (there is a tornado warning though).

Congratulations! hope to see some pics!

Hey, Don!

I'm surprized you can see out past all the skeeters on the screen!

It was YOU who draged me licking and screaming from Screwmount to K Mount with the best little K body ever - the Super Program. Just my humble opinion, but this camera is always loaded and ready to go.

Fortunately, I never said I'd never digitalize. (Did I?)

I just had to wait until all you pathfinders blazed the trail, widened it, paved it, put up all the roadsigns, built motels - aw, you get the picture.

Unlike the Super Program, I'm always loaded and stuck in the mud.

Stand by good buddy, many questions a-commin'

Good grief, Mac. What have you done?

Anyway, congratulations. It's nice to know that every lens you own can be fitted to the new toy, albeit with an adapter in some cases.

We look forward to some pictures.

Good luck Mac! The learning curve is only as steep as you want it to be - just because a camera has 1001 features doesn't mean you have to use them all straight away...

Congrats Mac, you will be like a kid with a new toy
BTW what did you get a K20 :

Thanks for the good wishes, all.

No Clarky, I'm starting off as modestly as possible with one of Chris' refurbed K110's.

Knowing me, it won't be long before I upgrade, but I'm really pokey about taking big plunges.

Figure I'll get used to basic digital and, as George says, how it handles all my beloved lenses before I scare myself witless with all those other features.

Oh, and the computer upgrades I'll need to address as well.

What have I DONE????

Talk soon.........

How are you going to see through it? That spotty dioptre holdiing thing wont fit

Ken

Ken,

That good ol' diopter thingy is welded to the Spot F! Thanks so much!

I figure a pair of 1.5+ reading glasses and the 2.5 inch viewing screen will have to do. Oh, you mean this isn't a Point And Shoot, and I'm supposed to look through the lens?

I have so much to learn! Does the K20D have a diopter?

Yes? Well, look at that! An upgrade required already and I haven't even got the blessed thing yet!

Meanwhile Chris at SRS is struggling to get me the K110, and putting in more effort than selling a brand new K20 with six DA lenses locally. Gotta love this guy and admire his patience

Hey, wait'll I try to POST something!

I've been wathing Lilly's latest contest - what a great theme.

Ya'll are submitting some wonderful shots!

Cheers

only kidding, it has its own dioptre adjustment built in. I must say that I find it an incredible imposition by camera designers to have to put on my +2 reading glasses to view the screen!!!!! No problems using the viewfinder... yet
