That would seem to correlate with the whole "one for color, one for black-and-white" idea...

IF a Canon 5D hold the mirror, he has another back-up. He he he

Nerdold Nerdith · 01-28-2010, 10:20 PM

Yup. It was probably Mr. Rockwell. We're probably going to see an "in-depth" review of this mystical camera on his blog in a few days saying how much better it is than the 5D then bash it because of all the cool features it has. >:P

Perfect, Just perfect. I'll have to remember that one.....Well done.

Just remember next time that the * (DA*) stands for the special internal element that when activated by the Fn button on the back turns on the 3x +/- TC and the lens stays at f2.8 but with one push = 16.7mm-45mm (-3x) or 2 pushes = 150mm x 405mm (+3x). So you save a fortune in lenses with zero added distortion.

how does someone go through life and not hear of Pentax granted its not as common as it used to be. That is like only driving BMWs and not knowing what a volkswagen is

Maybe, just maybe that Pentax needs to advertise or something. You know, ads and things.

It occurred to me. If he doesn't know who Pentax is, I'd honestly expect him to have no idea what medium format is.

This is some Grade-A comedy right here

glanglois · 03-30-2010, 10:58 AM

Two Canons - one with a big, fat lens and one with a long, skinny lens.

(Thinks it over for a moment.)

I think I'd better stop here .....
