bruce_rubenstein Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 <p>p.net has become the epicenter of photographic scholasticism, counting how many photons can dance on the head of a pin, and irrelevant to taking pictures.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parv Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Bruce, there are clearly many other venues -- photo threads in various forums, photo of the week, critique requests, philosophy forum, etc. -- for you to enjoy around this place. Harold, thanks for pointer. For the author of DPR post interchangeably uses an integer (97) and a fraction (9/7) just because they look similar has, however, ruined my amusement that I would have gotten otherwise. Pox on him!

john_robison3 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 <p>Remember that Olympus has had a long history, since 1959, with the 4:3 aspect ratio in their 35mm half frame cameras. The last of the film Pen's, the EE3 viewfinder cameras ran to 1986, a 27 year run of the 18X24mm format.</p> <p>As an aside, their E-300 and E-330 bodies even employed the sideways mirror reflex TTL viewing similar to their long discontinued but still popular Pen F series cameras. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parv Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 David, admitting that early spoils the fun for everybody else. Besides, that is no fun anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
