Thinking of swapping from MFT to full DSLR - Advice? |

In reply to Pebbleheed, 9 months ago |
You are allowed to have more than one camera system. I have a GF5 and I have a Nikon D5100. I use them for different things. But I don't think that DSLR lenses are any super bargins compared to m43 lenses. Oh you can find cheaper DSLR lenses, but they're often built cheaper. Of course there's also a larger pool of... |
Macro is a notable weak spot in m43 to me though. The Oly 60 or the Panny 45 are extremely expensive. My DSLR has a "macro" (but not a real 1:1 macro) standard zoom on it that gets me far closer than the Panny X lens. |
On the other hand, the DSLR kit is bigger and heavier than the m43 kit by far. It needs a bag to transport; my m43 camera goes in my pockets. Often times I decide before I go out if I want to carry the bag o' gear or not. |

Science Of Sound - U & I |
Hear The Track Here |
Hold on a minute, you have caught me at a most inconvenient time. See, I'm puzzled. I usually manage to keep things straight for such an old geezer, but somehow the connections that Tony Cummings makes are momentarily confusing me. Now, more about Tony in a minute, lets see some more of my current dilemma. I have alway... |
and that will never do. |
U & I isn't that far removed from the style of Activeminded, so if you liked that, you'll love this. Like a lot of musicians in the POPspace/POPsphere, technical ability goes hand in hand with musical nous and this track shows Tony (in whatever guise he adopts) is a cut above most you are likely to hear. So the only re... |
I've never been a great fan of ambient, which this kinda/sorta is, but I am a very big fan of class workmanship and solid, interesting, out-of-the-ordinary sounds and this contains plenty of both those things. The opening piano sequence, and the spiky, echoey plucked sound make a perfect counterpoint and lead in to the... |
Class electronic chillout. Highly Recommended. |

Market awaits WMC's Roman holiday |
By Barry Fitzgerald |
Resources editor |
January 4, 2005 |
WMC Resources' Southbank head office was busy during the public holiday yesterday, locking and loading the group's feisty formal rejection of Xstrata's $7.4 billion takeover bid. |
Barring a last-minute hitch, WMC plans to lodge the Target's Statement today, once a subcommittee of the board has signed off on what promises to be an all-out assault on the bid. |
The document will restate the earlier advice from the board that the offer of $6.35 a share is "materially inadequate" and should be rejected by shareholders. Its release could trigger a counter-bid by one of the world's mining superpowers given that it will, for the first time, provide an indication of what WMC thinks... |
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto have been studying their options, as have several overseas groups, some in joint-venture arrangements under which the spoils of a successful bid would be shared. |
Xstrata might also find some "new information" that would justify to its own shareholders and financial backers that an increased offer is warranted. |
The sharemarket continues to support WMC's view that the Xstrata bid is materially inadequate, with WMC shares last trading on New Year's Eve at a healthy $7.22 a share, valuing the nickel, copper, uranium and fertiliser group at $8.4 billion, or $1 billion more than the Zug-based Xstrata has on offer. |
WMC chief Andrew Michelmore has previously asked who Xstrata was kidding with the low-ball bid. But he and the rest of the board are under pressure to provide an argument in the Target's Statement that will win the debate on whether its shares would continue to trade at substantially more than $6.35 in the absence of X... |
WMC commissioned Grant Samuel to prepare an independent valuation of its shares but has yet to say if the report will be included in the Target's Statement. It is not legally obliged to include the report but has come under pressure from Xstrata and some institutional shareholders to make information available. |
Either way, WMC has said the statement will include a "clear indication" of what its directors think the company is worth. |
That indicates that the Target's Statement will include a detailed assessment of WMC's outlook for commodity prices. Xstrata has argued it is bidding at a time of historically high commodity prices. WMC is expected to mount a "stronger for longer" argument. |
Much of WMC's focus is expected to be on the outlook for uranium, produced at its Olympic Dam mine in South Australia. Mr Michelmore has previously revealed that a permanent change in uranium prices after 2010 of $US5 a pound would have an incremental cash-flow impact on Olympic Dam of $161 million a year. The incremen... |
(The estimates were based on an expansion to 15,000 tonnes of uranium by 2010, a constant exchange rate of US70 ¢ , a 30 per cent tax rate, a 2.5 per cent royalty, and treatment of cash flows after 2025 as an annuity.) |
"Increased production plus higher prices will ensure that uranium becomes a much more important part of WMC and Olympic Dam's future value," Mr Michelmore said amid WMC's response to Xstrata's bid. |
"The contribution of uranium and gold underpins the viability of the planned ($4 billion) expansion at Olympic Dam. |
"Olympic Dam is the only uranium producer to meet all four requirements that buyers want: diversification, reliability, political stability and long life." |
The Target's Statement will also include an update on the group's growth projects and the $1 billion-plus profit for 2004 to be announced next month. |

Now I've had luck with Spruce Fly - especially in mountain lakes. Why the hell does it work? Is it imitating anything? or just flashy? |
Does anyone use them in desert lakes? okanogan lakes? |

Now, I'm just supposin, here, having fished 'em: |
The fly was originated on the Oregon coast for the purpose of fooling searun cutthroat. The wing looks like a small forage fish from a distance. Then up close you have the naturally iridescent peacock herl and the red that cutts like so much. So I'd say its a combo forage-fish/attractor pattern. |
