Re: A900 and 500mm Reflex, Lucky Shot

Your 24 inch monitor is 106 dpi if it's set to 1920 x 1200. Your 24 megapixel file is basically 6000 pixels long so divide that by 106 for inches - 56 inches plus a few extra pixels.

So what's the best price for a a900 body in the US? Best I found in UK is 1660 GBP (equivalent of about 2350 USD).

Re: 12$ CHINON 135mm f/2.8 M42, WOW ! :-)

This means that even with a name, you should always try the lens ... even with those old lenses. It looks like that there was many more lens builder ... or lens holder in the past than today.

Re: Bibble 5 has arrived, sorta....

Downloaded and tried it out but quite frankly I'm very hard pushed to see any improvement, using a900 Craw files, over the output from CS3's ACR.

Cotswold trees

Driving home through the Cotswold Hills after shopping in Cheltenham this afternoon I saw these trees - and fortunately a parking spot. Tried leave the understated effect ... it was very bleak there with the sun going down. What do you think? http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b205/rogprov/DSC00345.j...
