    Mine are actually big babies, but it seems to keep the riff-raff away while inviting kids and boy scouts who I enjoy showing how that big strange camera works.

    That's what I do also. I always get asked "Does she bite?". Me, "If she has to.".

  11. Re: what the difference between Fujinon 90SW and Fujinon 90 SWD

    The maximum F-stop is the biggest difference. My F8 is the lens I use the most. It can be a little challenging to focus under low light though.

    Ken,

    Compared to your beautiful flower photographs, I don't think so. Sunrise or dusk with a long exposure and slow film, on a damp day, works best for me.
