And mine for finding it annoying.

I put Jerry on ignore, thinking I wouldn’t get any more of his minutiae and subjective movie and tv recommendations. He’s still here only with the word ignore after his name. I’ve gained nothing. It’s hard to ignore his 90+% listings. I’m sure Jerry is a nice guy, but please, please somebody, something else. Anything!

UHH will be so much more enjoyable. Using the Ignore List I no longer will see the minutiae, the boring, the highly subjective. OK, it takes away 90% of the general chit-chat, but it will be worth it. Now you may attack me.

It’s nice to know that at age 87 there is still hope, there are still opportunities, still dreams. Without these things, why even live? I choose to live.

In the late 90’s, visiting my brother in the Highlands in New Jersey, my brother said, “How did all these people get in my room?” He followed this with saying it was from his favorite Frank Sinatra cd. He then proceeded to play it and then gave it to us. It’s on the hard drive of our car. Not only do we play it regularly, whenever we hear Frank say, “How did,,,” I think about my brother who died about six months later. We too love Frank. We saw him perform in Milwaukee some time in the 80’s. He is on my list as one of the people I want to meet in Heaven. I plan to sing with him there. Why not? I sing with him now in the car all the time. And, today I sang “Fly me to the moon” with him.

I am. The 4ti. Can you come up with a price? Thanks.

I was not the original person asking, but, Olympus OM’s are my passion. I shoot with the OM4 and would like to upgrade to the OM4t. Could you give me a price? Thanks. Paul

Just yesterday a caller told me he had a new Ford Bronco and a cashiers check for me. I might have missed that call if I had blocking. He hasn’t delivered them yet. Maybe tomorrow, probably Monday.

I went to Alaska recently and only wanted to take one lens. I bought their 28-200mm. It was wonderful!

Or, pay extra and get it commercial free.

I too grew up in the same wonderful environment, and I fully expect that our great grandchildren, when they are our age will be posting their “good old days” remembrances. I’ll bet if we could find it, our great grandparents also had similar thoughts. But, yeah, those days of our youth really were wonderful.

Read the book. Then watch the series.

And in turn, our grandchildren, or in our case, great grandchildren will produce their own lists.

Wait, wait! There’s a nude section?

Like most of you I read lens reviews before I buy them. I have been doing this since the 50’s when Popular Photography used to regularly test camera and lenses. Now I get my reviews on line. A conclusion. All lenses are sharp at f8. Usually at f5.6 and f11 too. Even the cheapest third party lenses. Only the high priced glass is really sharp wide open or down one or two stops. So, buy the cheapest lenses and shoot aperture priority at f8 whenever possible. OK, I recognize that this is not always the possible but, I think it does say a lot about lenses. My favorite lens is my Minolta MC 50mm f1.4. I have read reviews that this may be the sharpest 50mm lens ever made. True or not, (probably not) I really don’t recall ever shooting it at less than f5.6. So, for me, most of the time, the f8 rule is quite reliable. And how fast glass is so unnecessary for me. And how it pains me to think of all the really expensive glass I have bought over the years. And how relieved I am that even my cheap 135mm Minolta MD f3.5 lens at f5.6-f11 will give me the results I want. Now, go ahead and beat me up.
