Who would have thought that a photo of a dove could look so good
The colours and bokeh are superb. It doesn't matter that the focus is
a bit off, just keep the size down a bit.

Peterson's published some really good photo books and magazines. Without doubt my favourite publisher. A good example is this one on Wedding Photography (found on a Google search I already have the book).

There is a lens focus test chart in the back of some of the
manuals. I think version 2 is the latest. Not really any
advantage of the other test charts though.

The 35-70mm 'A' f/4 constant is also a very good lens.

If anyone finds a site with the GX ones it would be interesting to see what insight they give into how the cameras are set up. For instance some of the Pentax ones tell you how the exposure meter is checked and to what tolerances. They actually use PS Elements to read the mid-grey value. It shows 110 as the value they work to. If that's 110R 110G 110B it's close to a 12% grey card, which is normal for a meter with a k value.

Another manual tells you how they check the Green focus diamond using a 50mm f/2.8 macro lens and what the tolerances are.

Can't you set Highlight and Shadow warning on the Histogram display on the LCD?

I remember seeing them, not sure if Minolta didn't do something similar or am I getting confused with AF?

I can't hold a pair of bins steady never mind take a photo at the same time.

Stick an Apple logo on them and call the iBins and sell millions

You possibly have to log on for Classified's. I think you need
a minimum of 100 posts to actually advertise a classified. I'm
not sure if they require a minimum to actually look.

The Canon seems to be on AVforums I stumbled on it by accident
looking at that 50mm f/1.4 that Mike-P is after. I'm not after
one sold mine last year.
