I would be very interested in finding out about a market where people compete on “cracking the egg”. :) I just love playing with words.

I am generally pretty fast with lenses that were designed to do manual focus, like Zeiss Otus and Milvus lenses for Canon (For example). Lenses that come with autofocus does not have a long enough throw to be able to perform manual focus qu

> Tilt-Shift lenses are great and I own one but ... just like many things in photography now-a-days, computation can do much of this. No it can't. You can not reliably tilt the plane of focus, something that precisely the tilt-shift

I dont think you are quite right. To the best of my knowledge, you get 3% back on the Amazon branded cards. If you have prime, then you get 2 more percentage to a total of 5%. So to make up for the difference of $139, the price of prime in

ever heard of software bugs and gps jammers? Your second EFB idea is still having a common point of failure, the E.F.B. And being a software engineer, I really do not trust software. :)

One of the irritating things about simulators (barring FFS) is the amount of lag and lack of feel of air on the controls. MS Flight simulator will probably help you with non flying procedures and communication. Also, it is useful (partially
