Someday, I hope to be in a similar situation. Not while the
girls are in private school, though. Oh, wait, then comes
weddings... 80

Like we discussed before, I believe your E-1 is sick. But
reostat dimmers really can cause AF systems to freak out with
some types of lightbulbs. (if you can hear the dimmed lights
buzz, the AF will hunt like an idiot dog).

Sounds like it was a good investment to me!

Uh, thanks. Form follows function or something like that, I
think. I've seen some of your shots. You do pretty well with
the ritzy stuff too. :)

Whoa, there. That old clunker of a lens is still able to outrez
the digital camera's sensor! I may be good, but not that good!

And that is probably the most inexcusable part of the E-1. The
RAW files are just too large.
