.. .. .. no it is not what you think it is !

This camera was picked by Professional Photographers as the BEST CAMERA of the Year - how about that !!




NO.. .. this is NOT A PHOTOGRAPH !!! nope. I drew this in 3D Studio Max !!!

I own this camera and it is spectacular for 500 bux !!! It has EVERYTHING I need

to create 'outstanding' photographs !! 35mm - 420 mm WoWoW !!!

I learned long long ago - not to pay attention to manufacturers hype.

What do I NEED .. THAT IS what is most important !!

It is not the camera that makes the photographer !! It is the SKILL that the photograher uses with ANY camera !!

Start 'simple' and move up from there. Learn to use what you have - "to its FULL POTENTIAL" !! - consistently creating outstanding photographs !!

It's that simple. now .. walk around the outside of where you live and open your eyes. take your time. Quit thinking BIG. find something - anything - and FILL your VIEWFINDER with TEXTURED DETAIL !!!

Another guy emphasizes that skills are more important than the camera itself.

You are a bag full of tricks! Nice model and render mate!
FZ`s are quite cool no doubt. Before getting my Oly I was really tempted on a FZ28. My father which was a heavy clicker back in the days of 35mm film just order and old but goody FZ7. I guess (almost certain) part of the secret with this pups are the nice Leica glass in them.

That was the only reason I bought this camera - The Leica Lens !!! 35mm - 420mm in one short magnificent lens !!

Yes I am full of tricks !!! (chuckle) !! In 1981 I was thrust out onto the ocean ice pack @ 50 below zero. with a severe case of flu !!

60 rolls of color film were exposed out there in those brutal temps - THEN came the bizarre part.

I had no water ( no running water ) I used snow melted and processed those sixty rolls of film.

30 years later (almost) these negatives are still in pristine condition !! And I made a handsome fortune from those same images EVERY YEAR !!

how do you effectively wash color film - for archival permanence - with no running water ???

I had to invent a method that worked - first time !!
