I teach on a Monday. Is it worth going on the Wednesday or is it all over by then?

It isn't often the combined photographic knowledge of the PUG fora comes up with a universal "huh?"

I agree with Gwyn, there are some lovely microbreweries in the states, it isn't all Bud, thankfully. Denver is especially good which is ironic as Coors is based there too.

At a conference reception recently I asked if they had some dark beer. The confused hostess said: "I think we have some Michelob light". I declined! At a different conference last year the hotel had some token dark beers at the reception. Archaeologists are generally into beer and they went in a flash. Shortly later, various hotel staff were seen arriving back with more dark beer purchased from the local supermarket. There was quite a few crates of Bud Light left at the end of the night.

Bad taste joke:
Q: Why is American beer like making love in a canoe?
A: Because it is ******* close to water.

Enough! I am on a beer free diet at the moment.

I'm more concerned with David's entry!

My Mum loved the Trip we borrowed for a little while and was most upset when it had to go back. That was in about 1987. Anything more complicated and she got confused. I still have her replacement which was an all singing all dancing Pentax (not my influence!) P&S but I have never used it. I ought to run a film through it to keep it working.

The manual focus forum folks have noted that the aperture ring has a habit of falling apart leaving the lens stuck on f/1.4... I'll try and find the link.

K.

Very true. Sad to say but I fear the 110 has become little more than an ornament.

K.

But not what we were asking. The web page is interesting too but on a quick scan through I cannot see the answer there either.

What we were asking is why the EXIF shows two values. For example, with this image the website EXIF shows F stop f/9.5, aperture f/6.5. This image was taken with a lens with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 (the DA* 50-135mm to be precise).

Interestingly Photome reports the aperture as "6.5Av(F9.5)"

At this remove I have no idea what aperture I thought I had set the lens to, but clearly they are two separate things and not the lens' maximum aperture.

Still puzzled... I thought I understood this stuff!

There are so-called beers I would (and have) turned my nose up at. Bud Light anyone, or perhaps a Coors? As the Wychwood Brewery ad for Hobgoblin says: "Afraid to taste something, lager boy?"

Now I have offended half the group I shall go back to work and hide...

K.

I would not pack it in the bag but at least you could move it indoors somewhere safe and go to bed!

I remember other threads on here where our astro fans were sticking with the K10D because you could turn off DFS. I cannot see any problem with that as you don't need fast burst mode or AF for astro photos of hour long durations!

Cheers, Kris.
