What we have here ... is a failure ... to communicate

[Shortsighted]

According to Canon, if you are using a tele-convertor (TC) with your telephoto lens, which is really a silly statement because you wouldn't be using it with your wide angle lens, it is important to mount the TC to your lens first, then mount the collaboration onto your camera body so that the camera receives the proper communication.  If you attach the TC to the camera first, and then the lens after that, the camera may get an erroneous signal that might be deleterious to your auto-focus, or even image quality (IQ).  They didn't specify if the camera was on, or off, as if the issue might arise either way.  Time for some experiments, if I wasn't so lazy.  I need a blood transfusion from Charline because I don't do speed ... not in these shoes.

Hey, are you turning into a dracula? 


I have done some new rock musings lately, like this. Unfortunately while I was filming and talking, I mispronounced often. However, there are subtitles

That's Count Dracula.  I don't look anything like him and I don't have a cape, and I disappear at night, not during the daytime.  Besides, I said a transfusion, not a meal.  I'll overlook it this time.

Nice specimen of aragonite.  Where did you get it?  If it's a secret I'll understand.  I had a piece of it once but I'm not sure where it is ... somewhere in my man-cave.  As far as I recall, my sample was also brown by iron, which is probably the most common variety in Ontario.  Might I suggest that you acquire a pair of black felt gloves instead of ill-fitting polyethylene gloves, which remain a bit of a distraction, whereas black slim-fitting gloves would blend in with the black background.

No, aragonite from Ontario will not look like this. This one was likely collected from Morocco. If you Google aragonite Morocco, you'll know what I mean.


I don't remember how I got it. I either brought it in a silent auction in my club or some member offered it for free.


I appreciate your technical comments, right or wrong. Please let me decide which glove I prefer to wear. Sorry I have to push you back a little.
