you'd take I-75 all the way from Detroit, but you might have to drive
through blizzards from Toronto until you were well south of the Motor City.
After all that, it sure was pleasant to see palm trees and wear shorts, and
maybe even have your streetbike to ride if you'd had room to bring

I mentioned mask, fins, and snorkel, and was
told, "Oh, sports gear, that's alright! The second bag is fine." After
that, I'd throw in the snorkel gear so I could bring my lighting stands,
reflectors, and extra clothes (I used to be ready for any model shooting
opportunity). Now, with the 30 kg limit, life is much simpler.

I agree with Paul. Cork gaskets are always shrinking a bit. Anytime I

Has anyone else heard of a 4-inch limit on length of lenses at a concert?
It was a first for me.
Pat White
What, doesn't everybody want 8x12 or 13.5x20 enlargements? I used to pay
extra for them (got some on the wall, looking good), but now I just shoot
with extra room for cropping. Much simpler for frames and mats.
Pat White
he constant aperture feature matters
to me. I really don't like it when a lens gets darker as you zoom, and when
you know the shutter speed will drop if you zoom in. Maybe I'm
old-fashioned, but I always associated variable-aperture lenses with
low-cost varifocal lenses that shifted focus as you zoom.

Gotta be the MZ-S! It feels good, looks good, and takes great pictures.

The lady in the photo appears to be wearing pants, or possibly a hobble

narrow, hand-knitted one. Does this help?

It's old, heavy, bulky, and has a fair bit of pincushion distortion at the
long end. Other than that, it's not bad. I used one for years on my MX,
and found it to be a handy zoom range. If its range suits your purposes,
and you can get a good deal, check it out.

A couple of months later, the top photos (16x20 B&W) are shown at a gala

To get to the point, _all_ the photographers used medium format cameras,
mostly 6x7s, although one used a Hasselblad. Not a digital in sight.

When the M lenses were introduced, the "M" represented "miniature", since
they were more compact than the K bayonet-mount lenses, and intended to be a
more suitable match for the new MX and ME cameras, which were smaller than
the "K" cameras.
