It isn't easy being green - I mean alternative.

Yeah, I'm 1/8th Cree and I didn't like that comment much either.
I'm still trying to figure out if the aboriginals are being violent, or if grandma is a sexual deviant.

Now that's funny.... I never thought of it that way....I'll have to tell my siblings,they'll get a kick out of that.
It was a comment she would make when us little warriors(grandchildren) were being a wee bit unruly...and sorry if you've been offended as well...
BTW I worked on the Colville Indian reservation when I was a kid in the 60's for Tribal Chairman Joe Koeler on his ranch by Twin Lakes....some of my closest acquaintances and best friends are pure blood Native Americans from numerous tribes....BTW I live in North Kitsap,with the Suquamish Reservation bordering my property to the south and the S'Klallam Reservation about five miles to the north...so it would not be untrue to say I'm surrounded by Native Americans....peace be with you brother...

No worries. I just feel uncomfortable using the word "Indian" to refer to anyone other than people from India and it bugs me to see others do it. I'm particularly put off by "Injun". In Canada we are not proud of the actions of our (mostly) European forefathers against the indigenous populations of North America and we therefore avoid glorifying or joking about "Cowboys and Indians." Well, many of us do, anyway.
Old habits die hard though, and the older generations were used to the word. To this day, my father still jokingly calls my mother (1/4 Cree) a "squaw" if she smells of a campfire. It's a little joke between them and they mean no harm, but I still don't say it myself.

How is that Nikkor 3.5/18mm working for you Depp? I tried one on Canon FF bodies recently, couldn't get a sharp picture until f22, don't know it if was a lemon, just the way this lens is, or if my adapter was messing up?
Thanks.

Besides that I have some other "alternative lenses"
Nikkor AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED (adapted to Canon 5D)
Samyang f/1.4 85mm in Canon mount (awaiting delivery)
Looking for Mamiya f/2.8 200mm APO and Sigma f/2.8 300mm APO HSM
Further like to upgrade from my Canon 5D next year to 5D Mark II (or III ?)

f22?
The lens is sharp in the center wide open with the corners being a touch soft...stopping down to f5.6 sharpens up the corners...stopping down to f8 it's sharp across the image and even sharper at f11...stopping down any further image sharpness declines on DSLR's including full frame...there is vignetting wide open on FF bodies,requiring stopping down to f8 or f11...This old copy is a fairly well traveled 18mm and has been used on probably 18 different Nikon bodies including two Nikon DSLR's as well as three Canon DSLR's...compared to the Zeiss 3.5/18mm the Nikkor is sharper in the center,with the Zeiss being sharper in the extreme corners.

My Zuiko 18/3.5 was stellar. Either a bad copy or an adapter issue

p.14 #20pics of alt lenses
I really don't know what his problem is....I have probably a dozen adapters from numerous manufacturers including the high end Novoflex and Gandy adapters...typically they all focus beyond infinity.
I had the Zuiko 18/3.5 but sold it since the center sharpness and overall contrast was better on the Nikkor 18/3.5 and the Zeiss 18/3.5....then I recently sold the Zeiss 18/3.5 to fund a Zeiss 21/2.8 ZE.
Scroll down for a comparison of the Nikkor 18/3.5 to a few other lenses of approx. the same focal length including the Zuiko 18/3.5.
