DSL vs fixed lens, suggesting that Panasonic offered one of the better fixed lens solutions, which was actually a reasonable statement as they do some with Leica glass. Frank, I can't think of the last time frank said anything useful. I like others think Frank = Measekete. Matters not. Even a blind pig finds an occasional acorn. NeverNeverLand suits them both. Now if I could only find a way to block those that quote either ... |

Also a valid pursuit, as open-source support by many printer manufacturers is downright dismal. I didn't think you could. Sigh. OK, I went looking. Here is one, dated March 22, 2009, in answer to a question a Gimp (XP) user had about not being able to print. Notice that he makes a suggestion to try to help... measekite Had the same problem but never tried to solve it since I mostly use Linux. But Gimp on all OSs does have issues with printing and that is Gimp's achilles heal. You might want to download and install Gutenprint and use the gutenprint drivers. That may work but there may be other issues with paper sizes there also. I am not sure but it is at least something else to try. _____ And from January 8, 2009 in a photography forum, where he initiates a discussion on a Nikon lens... on the Nikon 18-200 VR DX lens. Basically they noted that the lens is an ok lens but it is not as good as other Nikons optically. They also noted lens creep when held vertically either up or down and they further noted that this does not occur on other Nikon lenses. I have read other reviews on this lens where the summary results is that the lens comes in optically as fair. These reviews also noted that the new Canon counterpart is about the same and not the greatest. However Ken Rockwell claims that the lens is optically real good and he prefers that lens on his DX cameras over any other. He claims that he tested it and optically is matches well against the 16x85mm. He says the lens is so flexible that maybe the only other lense one would need is a wide angle zoom and a macro like the 1055mm micro. My question to you readers is have any of you who own or used this lens compared the results both on a monitor and in print (12x18 or larger) it to other Nikon or even Canon lenses of various zoom ranges? He CAN post things other than drivel, if he feels like it. Kinda like most of us. TJ |
