Hi - I wonder if anyone has more info about the attached photo. It is a dog carrying a mannequin leg, and what looks like T-Fords on the side. Is it taken by a well-known photographer, or possibly just someone's lucky snap? I have tried TinEye, and it appeared suddenly on meme-sites in 2013. I have a hunch someone scanned it from a photo book (or even a still from an old movie), but I could be wrong. Any info appreciated!

I had the "plastic fantastic" for a while -- nice lens for the price, I was pleasantly surprised, but it is sold without a lens hood, and it flares _very_ easily.

Hi, I have a recent Intel Mac Mini (2 GB RAM, 2 GHz Core 2 Duo), and I use PS CS3 daily to edit 16 bits TIFFs converted from raw (10 megapixels). Saving/loading big files can take a while because of the slow internal hard drive in the Mac Mini, but otherwise editing feels fast, even with several full bitmap layers.

 

My suggestion is not to go below 2 GB RAM, and possibly use an external FireWire hard drive to keep your files on.

 

Video RAM is not a limitation for PS CS3 (I haven't had any problems), but for instance Apple Aperture won't run because of the low-end graphics processor.

The Sigma 30mm is not an EF-S lens, it will fit the 10D. And while the lens will physically mount on an 1D/5D/film body it will vignette heavily. Thanks for bringing up the point, William W.

I have not used this camera myself, but there are two articles about it on "The Luminous Landscape": <a href="http://www.llvj.com/reviews/cameras/contax-n-digital.shtml">Article 1</a>, <a href="http://www.llvj.com/reviews/cameras/1n-non.shtml">article 2</a>. Hope this helps.
