That poor DA70mm lens. There it was, sitting unloved and
unused on a camera
store shelf.
Lens purgatory.
The damnation of the unbought.
Terribly sad.
A poor little box, hiding shyly behind a bunch of other
boxes on a shelf,
nearly forgotten, wanting a home.
I was at The Don's today to buy a replacement Extreme 3 SD
card for the one
that has gone AWOL, and a newer reader that would read it.
I found a Sandisk Extreme card reader which is very nice,
and will do both
CF and SD cards.
They had a deal on Ultra 2 cards, which are fast enough for
my purposes, so
I got 4 gigs or Ultra 2 for the price of 2.19634 gigs of
Extreme 3.
And that poor 70mm lens found a home.
It was so happy it flared.
Anyway, I am wondering if it is a flare or some sort of
weird phosphorescent
dream created by the picture tube?

There was on hell of a hot spot on the screen in the center
of the blasted
out bit.

Looks like weird reflections on the screen to me. Glad you
were able to
take in another orphaned lens.

It's a wonderful little lens.

I would say so, one hell of a hot spot ... straight specular
reflection of the sun. I think its response was delightfully
restrained.

I installed a USB 2 card in my Mac today and hooked up this
card
reader. It works very nicely. The card fits snugly, so it
makes contact
first try, and the download is very fast. Thanks for the tip
on this
and the USB card. (I also hooked the printer up to the USB
card, and
its noticeably faster at gathering the data from the
computer.)

It's not that good a picture...
As an aside:
The picture in the background was one I shot on my Dad's
OM-1 just before I
bought my LX.

I wondered if it wasn't some sort of reflection off the
barrel of the tube
from the shape of it.
