It doesn't and that's the problem. So, if you use centre focus only you can focus, lock, recompose, shoot and get it right every time.

As Don has already ementioned, every slide film has a different character and will give a different view of the world of colour. There never has been, a "true" representation of what we see. Even our eyes are different.

I'm not convinced that it's anything to worry about.

Spam messages are automatically deleted after 30 days, so your 4 messages wwere this year only. That's still not much Spam, but the ones to watch are those messages which you might want and might have bnever received.

There is a feeling that sometimes people think there is a certain purity of spirit in getting things right in camera. I don't see why though, because photography is a very artificial medium, just like painting is.

We use our skills as best we can to make fine images. Which skills we use is irrelevant IMHO.

Even Cartier-Bresson did not get things right in camera. He got the moment, but not the crop and he wasn't the person who printed the image.

When I first started using a camera many moons ago, the only medium was negative black and white film.

Good grief, how old are you? Considering colour processes were available in the late 1800s....

You need to go online and access your e-mail via the online version. The Spam folder there will be overflowing with things that are Spam, but also with things that are not.

I check this folder every day or so to make sure e-mails have not been caught by Virgin's rather over-enthusiastic filter.

To be honest, I always thought it was obvious.

Terry is absolutely correct.

Avoid compressed air - it can contain residual oils. I would also avoid a vacuum cleaner as we have no way of knowing how much vacuum is safe.
