and dad is beaming. Daughter is at a SOCAPA photography camp in Brooklyn, she took a Program Plus with her... the camp was going to loan a digital camera. Only daughter turned her nose up at the huge monstrosities... and then was caught without one. So I drove in yesterday to drop off my pride and joy with the 16-45.

Today daughter emails:
"i showed off my digital camera to the teachers and they really liked it, and one of them didn't know it even existed. [My friend] said she's going to try to get her parents to buy it for her, because she instantly fell in love with it. i filled up the memory card, but then again i'm shooting in RAW so everything is much bigger."

Now, some of the teachers are barely past childhood themselves (Ooooh do I feel old saying that!) and only know Canon and Nikon. I don't think they even realize that daughter can simply put on the old Tamron 35-80 adaptall and keep snapping away, and vice versa, put the 16-45 on the Pgm Plus for that far out ultra wide angle thing.

So they shoot RAW, damnit. I'll have to get a larger memory card.
