Why is someone trying to strangle her?

Did we really think that some idiot flying planes into buildings wasn't going to have repercussions?

Just a thought - it is better to have uncomfortable rules than no rules at all, giving the authorities free hand.

I'm with you Mike on the 60-250 + TC - mine will often take 3 or 4 attempts to focus and the IQ is significantly reduced. It's a bit like buying a Ferrari and putting re-treads on it.

I have found the crop results different though. I have got shots which have come out better with the 150-500 than a crop from the 60-250 (or even my DA*300). The Sigma seems to like good light.

Shaky - I suspect one way or the other you will need the original disk. Either you will have to install it in the first place, or the upgrade will ask to see the disk before it will install.

So the circularity is in the shape of the filter?
I read it as 'circular polariser', i.e. producing circularly polarised light. That can be achieved with quarter wave plates etc but it seemed not to fill the requirement of eliminating one particular plane of polarisation. The terminology seems to be a bit confusing. I have a rotating, circular shaped, polariser which, I guess is what 'they' mean nowadays.
Not being picky - just genuinely confused as I have a Physics background (not always an advantage).

I thought the same thing when I came back to photography and first heard of CPs so I did an experiment. I put a CP on top of a linear and rotated one relative to the other. they behaved exactly as two linears would, so I dismissed that theory.

For those having trouble with the two second delay, if you go yo Menu - Record - Memory and untick Drive, each time you switch the camera off, it will revert to immediate release.

As to the no SR on a tripod thing, I wonder if it may have something to do with resonant frequencies. It is probably designed to work over a frequency range typical to human arms, and a tripod is probably very different.

He was using a N***n. The police acted correctly.

I hesitate to be serious, but I have had two moderate fires with combi microwaves. Keep an eye on them.

Sorry, Mike, but I just can't take you seriously with this new avatar. Make an old man happy and find something that makes you look human.

Cheers.

The worst avatar at the moment is Thoughton's. (No offence intended}

It is actual footage of me a few years ago when I was put in the position of having to rewrite two years of someone else's software in 8 weeks in parallel with the 8 weeks of my own work I had to do.
