Does this go in line what you're talking about Don?
I just love this part of the book, too bad he is no more.
"(..) Sir Isaac Newton, renowned inventor of the milled-edge coin and the catflap!"
"The what?" said Richard.
"The catflap! A device of the utmost cunning, perspicuity and invention. It is a door within a door, you see, a ..."
"Yes," said Richard, "there was also the small matter of gravity."
"Gravity," said Dirk with a slightly dismissed shrug, "yes, there was that as well, I suppose. Though that, of course, was merely a discovery. It was there to be discovered." ...
"You see?" he said dropping his cigarette butt, "They even keep it on at weekends. Someone was bound to notice sooner or later. But the catflap ... ah, there is a very different matter. Invention, pure creative invention. It is a door within a door, you see."

Father Ted I used to climb, it's a nice sport I think since you're training a lot of muscles and it's technical.

Yes was a bit to fast to say that Anvh wrote:

Not necessarily. According to Photozone, the FA43 (which seems to be the main point of discussion here) beats the DA40 at the same apertures.Actually when you look at tests you will see the current DA limited are sharper

Lets make it clearer than because we were talking along each other.

You wrote: "This just a feeling though but I've the idea that FA lenses worked better on film than on digital, do you think that's true?"
I responded: "Sensors are more revealing of flaws than film. APS-C is not the same as FF..."
So you find fault and say "Was not talking about just the FA43 but all FA and film lenses."
Well, um, so was I, so what's the problem?
Your sentance was really confusing because you ended with "but this would not be restricted to consideration of the FA43" so I thought you where talking about just the FA43.You wrote: "This just a feeling though but I've the idea that FA lenses worked better on film than on digital, do you think that's true?"

And you reply: "And meridional plane are you sure about that, don't you mean sagittal?"
Sorry I meant tangential, it was already late as you could see. I wrote: "But the Limited lenses retain small amounts of field curvature so that they may completely correct astigmatic difference in both meridional and sagittal subject planes."
And you reply: "And meridional plane are you sure about that, don't you mean sagittal?"

There are only 3 images in the gallery so that's 1/3th you like, that's not a bad score for something as HDR.Err... maybe it's just me, but I could only see one image on the Nik site that I liked. The rest were "psychedelic smarties" (not my phrase!)
I know some like it I'm not really one of them that like those psychedelic smarties but the controls you've look good and I can see it being useful for the more normal HDR not the tone-mapped one.
