Chuck, whining doesn't befit you very well.
Why not get back to those archives of negative posts you seem to store
and see if you can find something in there posted by you, about
boating, any time recently. Good luck.
No problem!

It's an old boat, and I'm thinking of getting a new(er) one in a year

my plywood pieces and checking the fit, I primed everything, edges and
both faces with oil base primer. Heavily! Now I'm again painting a coat

of garage floor two part epoxy on all edges and surfaces. Glue and
screw to the stringers, using silicone between all seams. Then, I'll
use another coat of the two part epoxy to finish coat. No carpet! I
think it will look decent, and be durable. Oh, the to the two part
epoxy paint I added a non-skid agent.

But, alas, the thread got hijacked by Dan, one of the people, like JimH
that you, for some reason, give a free pass to say whatever they want,
ALWAYS off topic, but when I do the same, it's suddenly a horrific
thing! If you are going to play netcop, you should at least be even
handed at it, and you aren't. By a long shot.

Bass,
I think you missed Chuck's point. The NG is falling back to the point
where the majority of the post are political, inflammatory and consist
of flaming and name calling. It is always easy to say "the other guy
started it", but the only way to end it is for you to ignore them.

Why don't you stop responding to all the political and inflammatory
trolls, and definitely stop cut and pasting political articles, and try
to say on topic. I know there are many others who are doing to the
same, but you can only control your own behavior.

But I find it odd that Chuck and a couple of others find it just
terrible when *I* do it, but give most others a free pass! Look around,
it's true.
On to something still off topic (so I'll probably get chastised again)
but.....
I guess I'm the last of the old school 35mm film photographers. I have
a small digital, and am going to make the move to a digital slr. I
found a D50 for a reasonable price:

http://www.royalcamera.com/nikond50kit.html

I'll be adding lenses later, plus, I really need to buckle down and
learn to get up to the level that I am with film. But, I digress, I
think I saw a thread where you, JohnH, Harry, Shortwave, etc were
discussing digital slr. I THINK I understood through those posts that
lens length doesn't equal the same as 35mm, is that true? For instance,
is a 50mm lens for 35mm the same zoom factor as for digital slr?

Bassy,
This is scam. They quote a low price, then pressure you to buy lens and
accessories at inflated prices. Once they ship the high priced items,
they cancel the order for the D50 and lens.

Do a search on Royal Camera and you will find that the company is an
absolute crook. Here is an example:

http://www.resellerratings.com/seller1895.html

http://www.epinions.com/content_208889417348

http://www.pricegrabber.com/rating_g...php/retid=257/

http://www.amazon.com/royalcamera-com/dp/B00006GHRD


As competitive as Nikon D50 are, if you find a price that is
substantially below the market, you should know it is a scam.

I saw their prices when I was in the market, and could not figure out
who would fall for their obvious scam. If a deal looks too good to be
true, it probably isn't.

Do business with a reputable company, Amazon, B&H, Ritz.com etc. Don't
fall for the internet crooks.

I figured as much, and did my own research just after I posted to you,
but thanks anyway. I'm an instant gratification kind of guy when it
comes to hardware, so I'll probably just go to Best Buy!

PS. Be very careful buying from a discount house. In looking at the ad, I
saw nothing about the Nikon warranty, only an optional '4 year extended
warranty'. Maybe I missed it, but not being able to call Nikon with a
problem (and they *do* occur) would make you a very ****ed off camper.

Besides, buying one at a local shop gives you a person to go to with
questions about the camera.

If you read the details on the D50 you would have seen the D50 had a MP3
player built in. grin

I have purchased all my camera equipment from online dealers. They have
a much better selection, better prices, and more knowledgeable salesman
than I have found locally, but I only do business with reputable, long
term companies. Except for Amazon, they all have brick and mortar
stores and have very experienced and knowledgeable salesman.

Nikon lenses have a multiplier of 1.5. So your 50mm will be the equivalent
of 75mm. A friend of mine bought the D50 and loves it.

Is it just Nikon or Nikkor lenses or is that for digital SLR lenses et
al.? Also, do non-digital Nikon lenses work with digital cameras?

All digital cameras have a 1.5 multiplier, and you only want to use a
digital lens on a digital camera. Lens are specific to each mfger. You
can only use a "Nikon Lens" on a nikon camera, but there are some other
mfg'er who make "Nikon Lens", but as a general rule, they are not as
good as the Nikon Lens.

Ken Rockwell is a good place to start reading about digital cameras.

screw to the stringers, using silicone between all seams. Then, I'll
use another coat of the two part epoxy to finish coat. No carpet! I
think it will look decent, and be durable. Oh, the to the two part
epoxy paint I added a non-skid agent.

But, alas, the thread got hijacked by Dan, one of the people, like JimH
that you, for some reason, give a free pass to say whatever they want,
ALWAYS off topic, but when I do the same, it's suddenly a horrific
thing! If you are going to play netcop, you should at least be even
handed at it, and you aren't. By a long shot.

Bass,
I think you missed Chuck's point. The NG is falling back to the point
where the majority of the post are political, inflammatory and consist
of flaming and name calling. It is always easy to say "the other guy
started it", but the only way to end it is for you to ignore them.

Why don't you stop responding to all the political and inflammatory
trolls, and definitely stop cut and pasting political articles, and try
to say on topic. I know there are many others who are doing to the
same, but you can only control your own behavior.

But I find it odd that Chuck and a couple of others find it just
terrible when *I* do it, but give most others a free pass! Look around,
it's true.
On to something still off topic (so I'll probably get chastised again)
but.....
I guess I'm the last of the old school 35mm film photographers. I have
a small digital, and am going to make the move to a digital slr. I
found a D50 for a reasonable price:

http://www.royalcamera.com/nikond50kit.html

I'll be adding lenses later, plus, I really need to buckle down and
learn to get up to the level that I am with film. But, I digress, I
think I saw a thread where you, JohnH, Harry, Shortwave, etc were
discussing digital slr. I THINK I understood through those posts that
lens length doesn't equal the same as 35mm, is that true? For instance,
is a 50mm lens for 35mm the same zoom factor as for digital slr?

Nikon lenses have a multiplier of 1.5. So your 50mm will be the equivalent
of 75mm. A friend of mine bought the D50 and loves it.

So a digital SLR with a 28-80 would be like a 42-120 on a 35mm slr,
right?

Chuck, whining doesn't befit you very well.
Why not get back to those archives of negative posts you seem to store
and see if you can find something in there posted by you, about
boating, any time recently. Good luck.

No problem!

All digital cameras have a 1.5 multiplier, and you only want to use a
digital lens on a digital camera.


I wonder why? Just to confuse 35mm film guys like me?

The sensor in a digital camera is smaller than the 35mm film size.
