Nice and unusual shot

I couldn't see much difference between the DA 12-24mm and Sigma 10-20mm.
The 12-24 had some PF, but wasn't too bad. In the end I sold it
because the cheaper Sigma did everything I wanted and didn't tie
up as much money.

The only thing I miss is the longer setting of 21-24mm but too
be honest the 18-55mm Mk II Kit Lens seems as good as the 12-24mm
in that range.

I wouldn't rave over any of them though

I also have an old Sirius 18/19-28mm? which was OK on film and
got good reviews but seems poor compared to the more modern stuff.

Excellent example of how to do a good list Steve

Slide Holder 1x/K They really knew how to come up with names in them days

Perhaps the next camera will be the 1x/K6

I've got the Slide Holder K with the helecoid. The only
drawback with it is it won't take film.

It mentions open aperture metering but I can't see how
it would work?

Some cameras did have an option to take multiple shots and then
pick the sharpest/least blurred. I think all they did was pick
the biggest file and discard/delete the rest.

Additions to the lens and SDHC cards databases are two items
that don't get listed.

Register it they might send you a free ticket to
America like Hoover did

Good to hear that an 80-320mm has been rescued

Great news, lets hope it's perfect when it comes back.

By Boots do you mean the "road contact system"
