It will be my people lens for Dances and other similar events nice lens heavy but worth it, Before this I had the consumer grade 55-200 its just nothing compared to this baby.

I have noticed some dirt/dust with this lens its so clear and bright that I can now see some dirt in the view finder but it does not appear on any photos and is still there with other lenses if you look hard so I'll have to sit down and work out where I need to clean.

I think that dust would be located on the mirror that reflects light up to the view finder.

Not necessarily on the mirror. I have some dust on my viewfinder as well, got inside the body during a lens change in the wind. Been meaning to take the rocket blower to it. That said, 40D's pentaprism design probably blocks dirt getting on the inside of the VF...but it can probably get on the prism. Dust can get everywhere :p

My wife went to church music/worship practise and I was doing the soundboard. After the sound board was setup my contribution to the music was gone so I broke out the camera :) The light in the church was very yellow because of the yellow stain glass and incandescent lights so I decided to play around in LR2 to see if I could come up with something more interesting.

I was bored, and I took a couple sample shots with my old (new to me) SMC Takumar f/1.4/50 on my Pentax dSLR. I like my m42 lenses, but using them with the smaller OVF, and without a splitscreen is hard. I like the one of my dog a lot though, it really captures her personality.

    • Classic 7 is Windows 10 LTSC cosplaying as Windows 7

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Windows 10 IoT LTSC is supported until 2032, Windows 11 LTSC until 2029. So oddly enough the Windows 10 version is supported longer.
    • Latest Rufus update improves new Windows 11 install method

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Latest Rufus update improves new Windows 11 install method by Taras Buria Pete Batard, the maker of Rufus, a very popular app for creating bootable Windows (and other OS) media, has released a new beta version of its app. Rufus 4.15 beta is now out, and while it offers no new features, there are all sorts of improvements and fixes, including for the new Windows 11 installation method that was introduced in version 4.14 in early May. The "Silent Windows 11 installation" is a new feature whose goal is to automate operating system installation. All you have to do is boot from the drive, and then Rufus takes over, doing all things for you, such as setting up a new account, skipping ads and prompts, and more. It is a very handy tool, but initially, it had some bugs and issues that required addressing. With version 4.15 beta, Rufus is fixing that, particularly a bug with installation failing at 75%, crashes on Snapdragon X-based PCs, and more. Here is the changelog: Rufus 4.15 beta is now available for download from its GitHub repository. If you have never used Rufus before, you can check out our guide here. It is a very useful utility to have, as it allows you to deal with plenty of Windows 11's annoyances, which are still there, despite Microsoft's ongoing efforts to fix them.
    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.

    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop

      By thartist · Posted

      This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
