I don't see them shooting for Magnum going into the war zone of Afghanistan.


"In my twenty years long career I've always shot with Olympus cameras." So
the guy couldn't afford a Leica and bought an OM-1 and stuck with it. Now
it's full frame 24x36. Full frame, as in fill to the edge. Not the finger
nail 2x crop. Like Crop Circles. You need high ISO to shoot when the aliens
beam the cows up, which I just had a hamburger last Thursday, a Holstein
cow, that's what I call full frame.
