You are correct, it is a great prime lens. I have one and my daughter is using it as a 90mm on her D7100. I probably won't get it back. How about $250.00 including shipping to 76502?

I have a V12 Mercedes S600 in my driveway.

A tuner on its own has to have an amplifier to work. If they are combined then it is called a receiver. AR3a speakers are top notch, but will sound terrible if the amp or receiver does not have enough power. The amp will 'clip' if turned up too much to get good sound. It will overload the amp and the resulting sound can kill the speakers. These AR speakers can handle up to 400 watts when fused with an 1/8 amp quick blow fuse. your amp should be rated at a minimum of 25 watts per channel at 4 ohms with both channels driven. Good luck with the fix. :thumbup:

I downloaded your cr2 raw picture into DxoOptics Pro 9, then I adjusted it with Film Pack to a slide film of Fiji Velvia 50. No other changes and this is what I turned out. I really like what Dxo can do. It even corrected for the lens in the SX 50. Sweet!

I have had good luck with the ProMaster FL1. Reverse engineered , but sure works for me. Cheaper too.

On November 30, 2013 I ordered a refurbished by Nikon a D7100 from Adorama for $819. Free shipping, body only. I am a happy camper! :lol:

The Promaster 7500EDF is basically a clone of a Metz 58 AF-1. I have one and enjoy it very much. I believe the current price is $169, a little over budget, but not much.

And this one.

Took this picture of a 17 year cicada this June in Maryland.

I just can't resist this answer. One is of a tree and the other is of a duck. :thumbup:

I tried to rework the first picture. It is the cab of the locomotive leading the train across the bridge. Taken will moving from my car prior to crossing the tracks. For some reason the train was stopped so I had plenty of time to take the other pictures. Now I am learning how to clean the up in Picasa.

Wow, what a great suggestion - save your work! Duh, why didn't I think of that. And to think that I am computer literate.

Thanks ever so much.

Sounds like good advice, thanks. It looks like my Picasa fixes didn't follow the pictures when uploaded, phooey.

The are the first pictures that I have ever submitted to anything. I have broad shoulders, so let me know what you think.

Thanks a million for all the greetings. I started my Navy career as a recip mechanic on the EC-121 Super Connie. What an airplane. Best thing I ever worked on or flew in - bar none!
