This test is unreliable. Going through this test says I need more cameras, but in reality I need more lenses.

I see a camera in the bottom center one and not a number. Is that an indication of something?? I thought if I saw a number, that would be the number of cameras I need. Maybe if I take a picture of this test it will show a number?

It says I need more cameras.... but I just bought one, I don't even have one in a shopping cart, waiting to be clicked on.

I live with one of those five other conditions and today it caused me significant problems with my volunteer work, which is the most important thing in my life. Sorry to be a killjoy, but I'm not amused.

It indicates that I should upgrade from my venerated, beloved K-5IIs to a KP. Funny, that's what I was thinking anyway.

I have four digital cameras, but they all have issues. A new one is definitely needed...

I need more cameras, too. I just sold my second K-5. But before I buy more cameras, I still have 4 left, is there any that have the lowest ISO of 80 like the K-5 has?

Maybe you should do one about: "If you can't get close enough to take this photo in your wheelchair because of these steps you need a longer zoom." Because that would be sooo funny.

Real people suffer real diffculties in their lives from those conditions. I do. You wouldn't base a "funny" post on people in wheelchairs, or blind people, or people with learning disabilities (at least I hope you wouldn't), so don't do it to people who live with mental illness either.

I see no numbers (c.f. "I see no ships") - probably the reason why I failed one of my uni "milk round" job interviews!

It was for the BBC in the days ("some time" ago!) when they were in the infancy of developing colour (note the spelling!) TV and presumably needed people with good colour (again!) vision.

After doing all those tests, they asked me how I thought I had done, and I replied along the lines of "I think I did OK" - to which they said that I'd got the whole lot wrong! Thus no job with the BBC!

Funny thing was that I had taken the same tests at Primary School quite a few times - and nothing was said about possible colour (again, again!) blindness.

OTOH, as life progressed, it did become clear that I do have difficult in differentiating colours (again, again, again!) in the Red/Brown part of the spectrum - thus have to give way to SWMBO when it comes to choosing the colour (again, again, again, again!) of things like wallpaper, paint, furniture etc!
