Hello, my name is Scott and I'm a photoholic.

Battou, You suck at AF? Really?

It would be nice if my D50 had a focusing screen like my FM10 then I could buy the now much cheaper non auto-focus lenses I actually quite enjoy a fully manual camera it makes me feel much more a part of the picture taking process.

 

[ScottS]

Honestly, I think the reason i suck at MF is because i started out with the D50 and your right, the focusing screen sucked!

HAHA ok, I was going to say... that's kinda mean!

That's mean? I survived riding in my parents car, standing up in the front seat as a toddler.... before seat belts. I was raised in a home with two chain smokers. When you went outside a blue fog of cigarette smoke followed you for 20 feet past the front door. As a baby we were held in mom's arms, in the front seat while traveling cross country. Now for the mean part, no microwaves, no CD's, no COLOR TV, no internet, and no postaholicism. Now that's mean, I don't care who you are, that's mean!

Have you ever used a manual focus camera focusing is SIMPLE make sure the prominent lines line up in the split screen and you're pretty much good.

Like the K1000?

Probably... I've only ever used Nikon gear...

Like Robinson Crusoe, of course (it's primitive as can be).

Scratch that I keep forgetting about my Mamiya (I'm pretty sure it is one of only 2 models of 35mm SLRs they ever made).

Please tell me that was an intentional reference to "Amish Paradise"

Gilligan's Island, actually. But being that the line in Amish Paradise is a reference to it as well, I suppose you could say that.
