What does mm mean on lenses. What is it actually measuring

Threads like this are a reminder why I shut off cable TV.

True, I think his best bet is to delete his account and start over.

Ooh! That's a great idea! We should all make new accounts and see how long it takes us to figure out who each other are.
We all have our tells, don't we?

I'd be outed before post 1.

Who would ever think that Kommander Kronk or Mayor McnASSty would be me?

So my question was not that simple at all.

That was kinda my point. Nobody wants to sit here typing a novel about a complicated subject when it has been written about already by people who actually know what they're talking about. By posting your 'simple' question you've effectively just asked someone to google your own question for you and spoon feed the answer to you like the baby you are, and you've managed to create another 5-page greasy horror show in the process. Congratulations, troll.

Now, c'mon, that's kind of harsh. The thread is only FOUR pages long,so your accusation rings kind of hol....oh, wait, it's already up to five pages. Nevermind.Carry on.

I had a feeling it wouldn't take much longer . I'm going to bed now, I bet it's up to 8 pages by the time I wake up tomorrow.

Google is for research. Forums are for discussion.

You cannot have intelligent discussion without research.

Therefore, your path to learning is:

• Google it
• Read about it
• Discuss it

There is a world of difference between being self-taught and expecting others to teach you.

"Is this tinfoil hat yours, Benny?"

Anwayyyy, yes, focal length is usually within 10 Percent of specified.

I guess I do come off as a bit paranoid there, oops. Generalized specs are often rounded for marketing purposes in a variety of different industries so cameras shouldn't be any different.

I was an electrician's helper. I had experience.

Arent you supposed to shut off the power when you mess around with the socket?

Nah, just make sure you try not to touch the live part with something conductive, like a screw driver or a finger.

I would hate to be your health insurance provider.

Why is this thread still going I stopped talking at page 3?

 

[sleist]

Maybe no one can tell because they stopped listening to you.

there is no maybe its the truth. They just call me troll and continue to fill my threads with their useless banter and smartass comments. I do appreciate the few who actually are discussing the question instead of bitching for 2 pages instead of just leaving.

Troll? Probably not. Cheap entertainment? You betcha!

And the other day someone asked how come some threads only get a few comments and some has 5 pages everytime.

 

[Compaq]

^^ Yea, that ^^

Kbarro (that correct?), stop preventing people commenting my noob flower shots

 

[Gaerek]

I'm not on here as often as I like. So, imagine my joy, when I log on to see a 5 page thread, started by Kbarredo, asking a question that would better be answered by Google. I just knew there would be some Internet, comedy/drama gold within!

The things I miss since worked blocked TPF. Thanks for the fun 5 pages, hopefully we'll squeeze 5 more out of it.

 

[Kbarredo]

What they blocked tpf those bastards.
