As I have tried to state, other than self validation, what does this gain you in your photography? Isn't it enough to know that the photo looks good? Do you doubt your own eyes? I find life easier if I remove all needless crap from my plate. And I find pixel peeping to be needless crap. and understand I don't mean to demean you, I'm trying to suggest something that will make your life better. Your photos have always impressed me, so I don't see where this task will help you.

And I know, I know, there are those out there that need more structure in their life than I do.

Where did you get these?

I have used many Watson aftermarket camera batteries, Never ahd any problems, although the OEM batteries generally give more shots.

AS to chargers, I often see suggestions that we use good chargers. How does one tell a good one from a bad one? I have never seen charger reviews on DP review.

Sorry, but my concern for you was in no way insincere. This is why the internet isn't really good for our society. Everyone interprets things in their own way. Sorry you saw it that way. But in no way do I think this overly hairsplitting discussion is worthwhile.

Same question same answer. I'll post images on the internet right after I make a bunch of prints and put on the sidewalks.

But as I said, these discussions have only slight utility to a photographer. I doubt any of us imagine a career designing lenses.

AndI fully believe that some of the comments are scientifically valid and others are semi informed claptrap. Don't know how to tell wheat from chaff and don't care to. I've stated my lens testing regimen, and it works for me. It it doesn't work for you, I pity you.

Panasonic and Sanyo Eneloops are, absent any incremental changes, the same thing. One was the original manufacturer and sold it to the other. Don't remember which was the chicken and which was the egg.

Ikea? don't know, it would involve a balls out day trip for me to go to Ikea, generally overnight stay. Just wish Costco would get more eneloops.

Other brands will likely get more flashes if used immediately after charging, but will lose shots over time if not used and charged. the big selling point on eneloops is that you can charge them and they well stay charged for months on the shelf.

I read all but the last two pages, as my mind was getting fuzzy, but I need to share a thing that recently happened to me.

I saw an offer for a two lens kit with camera body from Panasonic,and as I always do, went to B&H. But, for no good reason I also checked Adorama. Each offer came with free junk, memory card, filter other stuff, but Adorama had one with a lightweight tripod. Not something I would ordinarily buy, but it was going to be a gift to my stepdaughter, who would use it with her phone. I order, charge declined, although the card had substantial amount available. I go into the bank and speak with the nice lady. She calls their fraud detection department. Those people are like a cage of hungry pitbulls, very aggressive in protecting their customers. I like that. They explained that they had experienced a lot of fraudulent transactions from NYC, so were blocking all. So I reorder, this time from B&H, sorry stepdaughter. Charge goes through like a greased pig.

Any connection? I can't say.

As always, this list can quickly degrade a subject into obscure arcane semi scientific mumbo-jumbo. This is not an optical science list. This is a photography list. Does the lens give you suitable results? then keep it. Do you find something troubling in the results? Then sell and replace it.

See how easy that was!

Remember, as too many on this list don't. If you get a new version of PS, it is in no way necessary to LEARN EVERY LITTLE THING IT CAN DO!! There are many new things in each version, but will all of those things be something you need? Simply learn the stuff you need, and ignore the rest.

And yes, naysayers, there might be a reason for learning all of it, but i'm talking about a painless and expeditious way to gain new functions that MATTER.

Oh my, chromo, you simply don't get it. On this list, there is no soul. this list us all about endless painful analysis, and overthinking to the max. It's in no way about creativity. Photography is only a tool to express one's engineering and scientific minds.

3/2 and 6/4 are in no way odd meters. In fact they are the same thing, just expressed differently for purposes of notation. Waltzes are most often in 3/4 which is a first cousin of the time signatures you cite.

Were you wearing the G string at teh time?
