It DOES have internal focus motor, so I would not have to replace any of my old glass. Any opinions?

NONE Of my lenses will work with today's current generation of Nikon entry-level DSLRs. :(
So, sell all my lenses including my coveted 85mm/1.8 that took the below photos yesterday? AND... AND buy new lenses (new means new, used, refurb...et al)?????

Or step up to an non-entry level (Mid or pro), OLDER, USED/Refurb DSLR that still has the lens focus motor built-in? And AND keep my lenses.

I will be "Running the numbers" so to speak to see what makes the most sense.

Stepping up might mean older non-movie DSLRs. Not a biggie.

Or, get the 24MP D3200 with lens kit and start my new lens collection anew.... choices.....

The Robert Graham shirts are FABULOUS!

Been playing the 'low bid' game on eBay lately.
Not Robert Graham, but I picked up a nice, new SIMILAR brand/style for $4 delivered! wearing it now. A bit swashbuckling in style...

Nice thing about being up at weird hours for on-call work... other half of brain can surf for deals....
Got me a Robert Graham shirt finally.]]> El Jeffe Spork Central Sun, 19 May 2013 03:59:57 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,965,42302#msg-42302 Re: Retro Geek http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,965,42302#msg-42302 Jeff Cooper Spork Central Sat, 18 May 2013 23:23:35 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,75,42301#msg-42301 Re: Reciprocating Mass http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,75,42301#msg-42301

Stark Trek was good but without the freshness of the new actors hitting the mark as old characters, flaws were apparent. The plot was thin, minimal lip service to the usual Trek thoughtfulness, and the show pieces along with the old references were of the obvious sort for the most part. Not like the stunning opening of the first one. Still worth seeing for the character acting (except that gratuitous blonde) and senseless show pieces.]]> johnny k Spork Central Sat, 18 May 2013 20:29:55 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,17,42297#msg-42297 Re: Multi Media Discussion http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,17,42297#msg-42297 El Jeffe Spork Central Sat, 18 May 2013 18:29:25 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,75,42296#msg-42296 Re: Reciprocating Mass http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,75,42296#msg-42296 http://esperienza.lamborghinievents.com]]> El Jeffe Spork Central Sat, 18 May 2013 18:27:54 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,41695,42295#msg-42295 Re: King's Landing... http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,41695,42295#msg-42295

Not at all the story I thought it would be. Spader was good. TLJ was just TLJ, imo.
If it were told like LOTRs, there'd be a lot more drama in the movement of people, and not the dialogue whilst standing still.
No action. His youngest looked like Damien from the original Omen in his last screaming scene.
Did not make anyone but US Grant out to seem like a guy that has no qualms about his place/role/next step. (like that actor, too).
Overall I walked away liking the the dialogue, makeup/wardrobe. A few of the dialects/accents were strange. I suspect many non-native-AMERICAN-English speakers faking 19th century American English speakers is the root cause. (aka Brits playing USAmericans....again)

again, I always have note my astonishment with one of my uncles, who worked for one employer for 60 years.
But again, what do people here think is the ideal length of service to an/single employer?

Ideal? I think that's impossible to say. There are all these noises about us moving to a freelance society, but as a general trend, I find it difficult to determine if that's a cause or effect. The average tenure is definitely dropping.]]> porruka Spork Central Fri, 17 May 2013 11:01:46 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,660,42283#msg-42283 Re: Boss Bitch http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,660,42283#msg-42283 But again, what do people here think is the ideal length of service to an/single employer?]]> El Jeffe Spork Central Fri, 17 May 2013 05:44:59 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,660,42282#msg-42282 Re: Boss Bitch http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,660,42282#msg-42282 Cloudscout Spork Central Thu, 16 May 2013 22:27:56 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,8,42281#msg-42281 Re: Local Unmentionables: Notes on YOUR corner of the world http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,8,42281#msg-42281 YDD Spork Central Thu, 16 May 2013 21:10:20 -0400
