Perhaps they have taken a page out of Sony's Book i.e. Release new cameras and no lenses

Both great the boat looks like it could have been taken 100 years ago and Refraction is so unusual/unique.

How long will it be before we have computers that can automatically decipher what the hell your talking about?

The sea isn't level and the earth is curved anyway

My moon shots never look level

I would just level the camera up before you start.

You can also buy levels that fit in the hot-shoe. The sensitivity of the electronic one's such as the Seculine one's can be adjusted down to 0.2deg although they do need a not very simple calibration first.

Some tool stalls on markets sell vials for about £1. These are probably accurate to 0.2deg or 0.1deg.

This German firm have some really nice small levels.....

A big improvement I've noticed with Firefox recently is that the Bookmarks Search (CTRL B) has been at long last made to work properly. If you enter say "Pentax lens 50mm" It lists all bookmarks containing the three words in any order..... so no need to enter the exact binary string.

It's always amazed me why program searches are so poor. XTree Gold for DOS had a decent search as far back as the 1990's. Nothing has equalled it since. Well done Firefox. MS searches always were rubbish, couldn't even pick up a highlighted word you had type type it.

No problems with this site on a Desktop with Firefox.

Very nice set of pictures, almost like being there. The stone detail in No: 6 is very impressive. Nice to see a big DOF.
