Krabi is where you belong, you big crab. Everything was fine until you showed
up and started criticizing and finger pointing...you deserve that snoring
woman...:)
I was asking Mike about the Canon's 24mm tilt/shift lens which exists and one
can purchase it for around $1200 brand new from B&H. Not long ago I was going
to get into the system, just because of that lens (blasphemy).
I think in one of his posts he stated that its edge to edge resolution is not
as good as Zuiko's, did I understand that right, Mike?
Have fun with the margaritas in Thailand. I once knew Margarita and she was
fun, in addition to being one of the smartest and most beautiful women I have
ever known...

Well, sure, praise your SUV -- just not on the list, least you'll
summon the wrath of the list-mum....

Well sure, gun away to your fancy -- just not on the list, least you'll

Oval office? What oval office? Ohh, right, yeah....well, if you
absolutely *must* make a political opinion known, I'd suggest doing so
in your local community center, newspaper or (gasp) election. We're an
international list, so "oval office" makes sense only for a geographic
minority. Also, being an international list, whatever geopolitical
opinion one has, it's sure to go against the opinion of someone else --
with the ensuring flamefest. So I'd suggest taking that elsewhere too,
least you'll summon the wrath of.....well, you get the general idea
now, right?

Here's a tip: whatever you do, never trust advice given to a guy who
picks an email-address containing "Willie Wonka". If he does give you a
tip, doing the *opposite* of what he suggests is probably sound advice
;)

So let me get this straight: you want to slap a lens which doesn't
exist in front of your camera???? There's something I'm not getting
here ;)
