Will the T adaptor allow the fitting of a Minolta RF 500mm F8 AF Mirror lens onto my Pentax K10D?? I have seen a second-hand one.

Nowadays with digital (with basically free film to use) it's easy to machine gun down subjects, knowing you could fix it later, if needed. And because editing programs like PS give you so much possibility's to do something to a picture, it is easy to do it wrong. I've been there, done it and eventually learned the lesson. Now I don't use PS anymore. If i need PS to save an image from the bin, it's not worth saving in the first place. Be your selfs worst critique and learn from your mistakes.

Agree with this sentiment almost 110% I try and modify as least as possible after the fact. Usually I have to adjust the levels slightly on the highlight side and rarely on the shadow side and some cropping of course. I use manual metering mode 90% of the time with auto focus.impotentspider wrote:

The problem is that the oldies who started out on FP4 or K64 made sure, everything was checked, double checked etc before pressing the shutter.are WE the older photographers failing in our duty to educate newer people to the hobby or are we just a bunch of old stick in the muds who cant see further than FP4 or Kodachrome 64.

Simple as that! Must be thinking too much! Or rather counting up how much money I need to spend. Thanks for all the comments. Makes interesting reading.

If you prefer a projector, then buy one and use it as a widescreen telly! We did when we had a bigger place than we do now, picture was measured at over 120 inches for a few hundred quid!
What format do you use for projecting? All seperate JPG or RAW or all images as a quicktime movie?If you prefer a projector, then buy one and use it as a widescreen telly! We did when we had a bigger place than we do now, picture was measured at over 120 inches for a few hundred quid!

Sorry, how does one alter a poll and include an OTHER option after creation of said poll?

Seems like I have to eventually buy a widescreen TV.

Thanks for your comments, no problem, a vote is not necessary I wanted comments just as much. AppleTV is a box attached to the TV, which allows viewing of images in iPhoto. This is where I do some of my editing at least when nothing much has to be done. So for each shoot there is a gallery. Very convenient therefore to be able to play that back on a TV. However, it is my belief that to use it you MUST have a wide-screen digital TV, which I do not. Hence why I wonder whether a DLP projector would be a good idea.

I would like to get some opinions. When I did film or slides in the past, I either made slide shows or filled albums with printed images. Within the family we like both. I prefer slide shows.
So, I turned digital ages ago, and have a hard disk with loads of images.
Digital I find encourages one, because of lack of costs (processing in particular) to take more images.
So, is it worth to buy a DLP projector if one does not have a wide-screen TV and not likely to get one any time soon?
Or if one has a wide screen TV, one could buy AppleTV and be able to show the contents directly from iPhoto.
Can one use AppleTV without a wide-screen TV?
What does everyone think about this?
