There’s a fine line between a numerator and a denominator.
Only a fraction of people will find this funny.
When I lost the fingers on my right hand in a freak accident, I asked the doctor if I would still be able to write with it.
He said, “Possibly, but I wouldn’t count on it.”

What is the focal length of the lens? This is what I'd expect from an extreme(ish) wide angle lens.

Often, when contemplating something difficult or challenging, you hear a voice in your head saying "go for it. You can do this!"
Normally that voice is giving support and encouragement, but sometimes it's just messing with you.

A woman was three months pregnant when she fell into a deep coma and woke up after about six months. The woman asked the doctor about her baby.
Doctor: "You had twins, a boy and a girl. They're both fine. And, your brother named them for you."
Woman: "No, No, No! Not my brother. He's an idiot! What did he name the girl?"
Doctor: "Denise."
Woman: "Oh, that's actually a nice name. What about the boy?"
Doctor: "Denephew."

I tried donating blood today...NEVER AGAIN! Too many stupid questions:
Whose blood is it? Where did you get it? Why is it in a bucket?

Having lived in Alaska for 4 years (long ago) and having taken a cruise there in more recent years I can say with some confidence you will likely find far more scenery, events, and places to photograph than things at great distance. When I took the cruise I had my 31 Ltd and a 55-300. Over 80% of the shots I took with the 55-300 were at less than 100mm. If you need to scratch the "I need a new lens" itch i'd suggest putting the money into a faster short-medium zoom.
Honestly, you're not likely to see all that much wildlife other than eagles and they all look alike.

Remember; one definition of an elephant is "a mouse designed by a committee" (or commission, or task force, or ...........).

At a PC User's Group meeting (many years ago) a company was demonstrating its latest speech-recognition software. A representative from the company was just about ready to start the demonstration and asked everyone in the room to quiet down.
Just then someone in the back of the room yelled, "Format C: Return."
Someone else chimed in: "Yes, Return."
Unfortunately, the software worked.

You're lucky. A lot of people can't say that; or say anything.

My wife yelled from the other room "do you ever get a stabbing pain like someone is poking a pin in a Voodoo doll of you?"
Me: "No"
My wife: "How about now?"

An elderly physician, Doctor Geezer, became very bored in retirement and decided to re-open a medical clinic.
He put a sign up outside that said: "Dr. Geezer's clinic:
Get your treatment for $50 - if not cured, get back $100."
Doctor Young, who was positive that this old geezer didn't know beans about medicine, thought this would be a great opportunity to get $100. So he went to Dr. Geezer's clinic.
Dr. Young: "Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth. Can you please help me?"
Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in Dr. Young's mouth."
Dr. Young: 'Aaagh! -- This is Gasoline!"
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $50.”
Dr. Young, very annoyed, went back after a couple of days figuring to recover his money.
Dr. Young: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."
Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
Dr. Young: "Oh, no you don't -- that's Gasoline!"
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $50."
Dr. Young (now having lost $100) left angrily and came back after several more days.
Dr. Young: "My eyesight has become weak --- I can hardly see anything!"
Dr. Geezer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that so here's your $100 back" (giving him a $10 bill).
Dr. Young: "But this is only $10!"
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $50."
Moral of the story --
Just because you're "Young" doesn't mean that you can outsmart an old Geezer.
Remember, don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to tick us off.

Pretty close. Half frame is about 43% of the area of "35mm".

Besides a great Christmas song, Dropkick Murphys has one of the best renditions of Amazing Grace I've ever heard. (It starts to get really good about the 38 second mark) You Tube |
