Just think of the market prices if Canon could release the new Rebel
300D with a Nikon mount for lenses.

Yeah, that would be real smart. Not!
The point is that in the near future, they'll give ya the camera just to get
you to buy the lenses.

If Canon produced a 300D with a F mount on it, whom would buy their glass
ever again?

Not that outlandish an idea.

One of the brainfarts of the 4/3 scale was a universal lens mount allowing
that kind of interchangability. So you got Kodak, Fuji, Oly involved and a
few other players joining the fracas. Makes things interesting but it could
be another Beta/VCR Format scramble and not get the support of the lens
people...

On the other hand the ingenious and ballsy Dr. Yamachi hides in the curtains
awaiting another triumph of patent bending...

Of course Dr. Yamachi would love it and Stigmatize all of them. I can see it
now, the Stigma 4/3 SD-9U ( U for Universal) mounts that take all mounts
like the Cosina series of bodies...... Give Yamachi time and it will come
to be.......

Why would anyone want Nikkor glass? On the other hand, it is possible
to get a Leica adapter for Leica R lenses. I've seen images from a 10D
shot with Leica glass, and you can not believe how good they look. You
readily see how good digital really is, and how good a camera the 10D
is. So if you want superior glass, the means does exist.

With a $35 adapter, you *can* mount Nikon-F lenses on *any* Canon EOS
body, including the Canon DSLRs. So far it hasn't affected the price of
Canon's lenses or film bodies.

The Novoflex EOS/NIK adapter has a list price of 149 Euros
here in Germany - certainly more that $35.
No automatic aperture, but stop down metering
and aperture priority.

I don't know, but it strikes me that if I were a professional sports
photographer, and had to take a lot of hand-held shots of soccar and
football games, I might invest in a good quality IS/VR long lens......

Thanks, Lewis :-) There won't be new images for some time now,
as the trees are losing their leaves here ;-)

I hope that next spring I will be able to add
some Pentax and Canon FD test shots - this should
make things much more interesting.

[Skip Middleton]

Autofocus and internal meters are mere gimmicks, too. As are multi-element
lenses, since a single element will get image to film. For that matter,
glass itself might be considered a gimmick, since a pinhole will get an
image to film...

I paid $35; its Russian-made, sold by someone in Southern California on
ebay. Its a solid machined aluminum adapter, nothing fancy;
stopped-down metering, manual aperture control and manual focusing
required. However, it does preserve infinity focus with no additional
optics.

Now your being stupid. IS/USM/VR/AFS whatever system your brand of choice
uses, none of these technologies are essential, they are nice add on's sure,
but before they existed photographers done fine without them and arguably
had more skill because of lack of them.

It's obvious that you have never used either of the technologies.

While I have only one IS lens, my USM lenses allow me to get shots I
can't get because of my manual focus gear requires faster fingers with
no arthritis in them.

It's too bad that you don't understand that to some, gimmics are tools
that work.

Yes it does, have you ever tried shooting sports with manual focus lenses

You want to think about photography before you attempt to post on a subject
you clearly know nothing about.
Hand holding at 1/15th when the wind is blowing in your face and still

Well, just shoot enough film and open yourself up to constructive

It is a skill, even an admirable one, but professionals are interested
in results, not eeking out photos with minimal equipment. IS lenses
allow more success in making salable images and that is talent that pays.

IS allows handheld shots at 2 or 3 stops slower with near certain
sharpness. Even if a photog is very skilled at handholding, IS gives
him more room to handhold. It is clear added value.

That's Queen, not queen, and you forgot a question mark there, you put
in a space after irony before that question mark. And in the referred
post, yes your grammar was terrible:
your - you're
on's - -ons
done - did

I should have said, "Accomplished more," too. One of your images, the one
in the "Motion" section, is oddly lighted and composed, and the backdrop is
very wrinkled, showing a lack of attention to detail. The one in the
"Water" section is uninspired, especially when it comes to composition, the
sailboat, which I would guess you were trying to contrast against the larger
naval vessel, is dead center, giving the image absolutely no sense of
movement. In the "Cinema Verite" section, that image isn't half bad, but
still lacks any real dynamic. And I quit taking images like the one in
"Night People" years ago, it is way to static to show any of the passion a
musician should show for his work, nor does it have any sense of peace than
would come to a musician who is completely lost in his music.

I was challenged to put up some images so I did. I did not put them up for

I did not make my submission choices based on their technical merits. I

Part of the shoot-in is to discuss the images. If images go up, it is
certain they will be discussed. Positives and negatives are sure to be
