The older you get, the less that is a problem. Absoltely, on the focus screen. Why every decent DSLR doesn't have one is beyond me.

Dec 30, 2012 17:06 | #47 I suppose this thread is a little scary...Skygod starts the thread and goes on about 'old' yet is not much more than a whippersnapper at just over 40!!! Come on, Simon! “A man is only as old as the woman he feels.” (Groucho Marx) On that basis, I'm not that old at all. Who cares? Don't know - at my age my memory fades Age is a state of mind, and I don't.

I can remember when ISO was ASA, max shutter speed was around 1/500th sec, and a motordrive/grip actually did something  Back in the good old days... Back in the good old days indeed. Jurgen

I wouldn't trade my age, which is 54.5, for anything! My teenaged grandkids call me "Granny Dynamite" cuz I have more energy than they do half the time, and I HAD my turn at what life has to offer the young. Not everybody gets to have "a turn" and I had one hell of a great time being young and am still having a blast as I age. It's just a different kind of blast. PROS: Photographically, I'm at the top of my game. Personally speaking, my bull**** meter is finely tuned, I am smarter and so much wiser, and my ability to say "no" without apology is second to none. I can't say that was the case in my younger years. CONS: I can't carry my gear around as effortlessly as I used to, and can't read my camera settings without my glasses. All in all, I wouldn't want to go back in time, not even for a second. Sue Cassidy
