[Rollei] Lawsuit from Curiosity: off topic Zeiss lens, Arri

["Dan Kalish" <kaliushkin >]

A massive number of unsubscribes in the next few days.

On topic: I can pan pretty well with a 35mm (Nikon), but haven't got the
hang of it with an SL66.  Practice, practice, practice.

Dan the K. (another lawyer).
