Re: Techart PRO AF adapter now In Stock!


A semi quick story---

1964, Williamstown Massachusetts: \"Vroom, you\'re a weird combination of linear and creative; me and Tito are going to run the yearbook this year, we need somebody to be photographer. The school hired some guy from New York City to come up here and show you how to take pictures. He\'s going to bring some snotty camera called a Nikon F and a 50 mm 1.4 lens. If you don\'t screw it all up you can keep the camera at the end of the year.
1967, Dallas Texas--- Guy in a park to me with a used Nikon F around my neck: Man, this is a fucked-up city. I got a \"happening\" tonight at The Satori House; and I need to get these 6 rolls of Ektachrome processed by 7 tonight. How could a city this size not have any labs open on Saturday? You know any I don\'t? Me: \" i\'ve only been doing it for a few days but I got a little E6 line in my kitchen. If you\'re in a real bind I\'ll do them for you.\" Me later that night: \"Man, I am in awe of the intricate relationships between and among those three different slide-projector-sequences with that oil-water-overlay stuff. Especially the way you interwove all those different pictures of Abraham Lincoln.\" The guy: \"what intricate relationships? You were so fucking late with the slides I barely had enough time to get them into the trays before I did my Doobie and started!\"
1968 or 69, Cambridge Massachusetts: \"Professor White, I don\'t actually go to MIT; I\'m working over near Harvard and I wonder if I could just sit in a couple of your classes if I were really really polite and never bothered you? \"You can listen for free, but only \'real\' students get to ask questions or talk. And if anyone else asks to do this, I\'m kicking you all out.\" \"Yes, sir. Thank you.\"

Fade to dark grey: Long gap, where I learned to edit commercial and fashion photographs, but didn\'t take many, myself.

Today, 9/8/16 in Dallas, Texas--- Bring lights all the way back up: Turns out there is no more film, or chemical-analog zone system, but I have obliquely heard a few folks I never met or even conversed with discuss some bizarre device made somewhere in China maybe can autofocus my old, very old, Nikkor 50mm 1.4 on a Sony. Turns out you can read that shit, think about it, then type a little into a very advanced teletype machine, and somehow today the effing Chinese device appears in my mailbox. Without knowing anything about anything, really, it has shown up. There is not enough Adderall in the world to keep me on task with my scheduled life for today. Thanks, among many others, to Charley at Williams, the guy from NYC, the stoner in the park in Dallas, Minor White at MIT, and FM, GM, and K-H here, for their largely-unintended contributions to the delivery of this package today. God bless ocd!
