Well bless your heart.... 50 years in the South and you still haven't developed an appreciation for Southern Humor or Southern Manners. Yuz have a Kick-Ass Kwanzaa, a Happy Chanukkah, and a Merry Xmas too!!

Well, y'all must be a misplaced Yankee or a Snowbird, 'cause even in Southern Florida we don't say, or write, "you-all". The proper spelling is "y'all", unless one is from Texas AND referring to more than one person, in which case one would say, "all y'all".

Why would anyone sell such an advanced and up-to-date model unless there was something wrong with it? And if the person needed money for some reason, why wouldn't they sell the lenses as well? Please forgive my overly suspicious mind, I'm sure it is all totally legit.... after all you're on UHH, right?

DSLRs WILL NEVER DIE...... as long as there is some nostalgic nut case who just can't live without the sensual sound of mirror slap.... just sayin'......:-)

If you re-read the ad he wrote, you will see it clearly states 28mm f2.8.

Dave,

Your photography skills may be outstanding, but your computer skills are, how shall we put it, ... lacking.

Last one for this pair that was this close and visible from earth was in 1226, according to NASA... but you may have a better source of information.

Go to skyviewcafe.com for details.

I live in Annapolis, and from this point on earth, you want to look in a WSW direction. Both planets will be visible from late afternoon until 1930 hrs EST or so. They will appear to be descending toward the horizon, and will be below the horizon before 2000 hrs, depending where you are in the USA. Best time for Maryland is 1800-1900 hrs. You will need a clear view of the horizon, so go to an open area.

The above info will change depending on your location, which you must input into the webpage, along with time and date. Simple to use.

Mark: If you ever get to Germany, look up a place called Fensterwald (maybe called Fensterberg or Fensterburg). There is an ornothologist there who has trained hawks and falcons to snatch food swung in the air above the viewing audience (usually about 150 or so people. This guy also had a captive bald eagle, tethered and on a perch.

I took photos of that eagle using a Canon A-1 with a Vivitar 70-200 f4 lens in the 1989-91 timeframe, using Ektachrome 100, I think. Made a couple visits and then sold the photos, at the local thrift shop on base, blown up to poster size, to folks in Heidelberg, where I was stationed at the time. Your photos are far superior to mine; the best I have seen in my 71 years, so far. The narration on the video and editing were equally impressive. Well done indeed.

Truer words have never been spoken nor written.

It would be much better if she had a genuine Colt, preferably a Single Action Army model.

When I lived in Great Falls, MT, we called that a "heat wave".

Throw the camera away, hop in the Piper, and practice some 3 point landings.... in a crosswind... :-)

VERY impressive model!!!

I switched from Canon to M4/3 and have absolutely no regrets... and I'm only 71.
Bought a Panasonic Lumix GX-9 and I LOVE it. It is not a G9 but a GX9, and there is a difference.

My lenses are as follows (35mm equivalent focal lengths are exactly double what is shown below):

Panasonic 7-14mm f4.0 great for building interiors!!
Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8 most used all-around lens.
Olympus 60mm f2.8 Macro very useful in macro mode and short tele mode. Best M4/3 Macro, by far.
Panasonic 15mm f1.7 great for unobtrusive street photos, short and light.
Panasonic 100-300 f4.5-5.6 With 200-600mm equivalent in 35mm, this will reach out FAR for birds, nature, or clandestine shots.

The only drawback in the GX-9 is that the in camera flash is weak and useless beyond 10-15 feet... so I bought a Godox with a remote trigger and it works great.

Highly recommend the GX-9, and NO, mine is NOT for sale!!
