"I had a sister with Trichromy 13. She lived 8 days, suffered every one of them, and the experience tore my family apart, not to mention the fact that carrying the baby to term put my mom's (who already had two young children) life in unnecessary danger."

I'm going to guess you are very young, childless and generally suffering from brain damage, just kidding....

Who are you to judge whether someone's life is worthy of living? You are talking about sentient human beings here. I truly don't think you understand disability. Being MR doesn't mean you don't understand or can't appreciate your life. That's just plain stupid.

Uh, I doubt you know more about this than I do, but that isn't the point.

I'm curious, what were the other factors beside DS you are saying played a part in your choice?

I'm very uncomfortable of your choice of words, yet remain pro-choice. When calling disabled people's existence a "live [sic] devoid" reminds me a bit too much of this type of thinking:

Yeah, but you can get real work done on it :-)

How does that work for people born after the movies were in the theaters? How does that work for working people that can't afford a babysitter or who are tending a sick relative?

When will he be transferring to Cal State San Quentin?

Crop factor only affects the viewable area of DOF, it does not in itself either eliminate it or diminish its affects. I know earlier that you said you primarily work in videography. What I've decided to do was to show you with a still picture so you'll understand this concept a little better. Using a shorter focal…

Crop factor only affects the viewable area of DOF, it does not in itself either eliminate it or diminish its affects. I know earlier that you said you primarily work in videography. What I've decided to do was to show you with a still picture so you'll understand this concept a little better. I rest my case.

You need to make up your mind then what you want, you want a long focal length, then choose one. For instance, let's say you are shooting a FF sensor with an 85MM lens. You can shoot that same length with a 50MM on a crop sensor. All you have to do is the calculation. Its pretty simply.

If you don't have the space, there is a simple solution for that, a shorter focal length.

Yes the larger sensor changes the crop factor, but not the DOF. Cropped sensors require additional space between you and the subject to get the same field as a larger sensor. Step back a bit and you have the same image with the same DOF as long as the lens speed is the same. What you won't get though is that…

Better DSLR's have larger sensors. But the larger sensor is for capturing more light, not increasing DOF. Sensor size has little to do with DOF. DOF has nothing to do with focal length but lens speed. Focal length can exaggerate DOF, but its not necessary. An increase in focal length often times diminishes light…

If its a DSLR, shallow DOF comes from the lens, not the body.

I would greet them with the universal greeting for friendship...."Nanu-Nanu".

I wonder if a filter with a slight reflective coating would fix that issue? When the laser hits, instead of magnifying onto the sensor, it would be reflected away from the sensor by the reflective coating. Of course the images would be slightly darker, but the reflective coating I would think wouldn't have to be…

I guess I'm in the minority here, but it looks cheap and plasticky to me, as if it would creak if you torqued it wrong.

People with mental disabilities wouldn't even have the opportunity to abuse their special pass at Disney World. The pass was primarily intended for them. Where you see the abuse is with this late on set people. People born disabled likely wouldn't do such a thing because they know its not really a moral thing to do…
