Thanks, Marc. The "Too Hot To Handle' column is always a good read with my morning coffee, and I really enjoyed the "How to Succeed...' article. Keep them coming!

This one never goes away, even so many years later.

Thanks for posting these, Marc!

 

"How to Succeed..." is a classic. Many ideas I had never thought of..

 

The leaf-shutter SLR article has historical interest - it helps to explain a dead end of technical development that was not so evident at the time.

 

The list of lenses is astonishing! An impressive resource to compare relative prices. For instance, the 50mm f/2 Pancolar, Summicron and Planar cost about the same, and a lot more than a Nikkor 50/2 at the time.

 

Also, useful articles on color landscapes and on how to hold a camera firmly.

 

Please keep these coming! .
