You understand there are limitations under U.S. Law on how far

reply to Mr. King. as a professional was polite. =20
The Milkovitch case which Justice Stevens cited is one of two =

newspaper does
not immunize itself from a libel action simply by couching its =
accusations as

If I were a physician, I would suggest that you take a
Prozac and then try to rewrite that message. Maybe
a tranquilizer too!

I personally like 35mm over medium format. But even when I was

35mm as
often as possible like a moving camera, and not just using the motor
drive for the Canon F1. Here is where the cat/dog analogy somewhat =
fails. Some of
the special effects, for example in The Matrix - where the camera =
makes
a 360 degree turn around Mr. Reeves - were done with a series of
still cameras.
Medium format also does not go well with my Type A personality,
the rough expression in journalism is F8 &Fu__ __ ! That whole
backwards focasing thing is not for me. So you people must have a =
great
deal of patience. I have a cousin who is a professional, with a =
Portrait
Studio that type of patience and limitations are for a different =
type of
personality. But also, yes ever since I've been reading Daniel =
Arajon's
book on Cinematography anything that can't work like a moving camera
isn't of interest to me.
I do like to test the quality of different types of lenses.
If anyone else has any experience with Zeiss, I would appreciate =
their input.
