I am so tempted to skip out on family Christmas next year, and produce a set something like this. OK, there's not a chance I would, but still, the set pretty damn impressive anyway.

Like everyone else, I'd never heard of these before. And like all right-thinking people, I do think the entire notion is fascinating. Mouldering hulks of poisonous stone that no longer light up the night. Perfect fodder for a maritime ghost story.

Good round up of various cleaning options to remove sensor dust. My old D70s body is a martyr to it, and the D80 is bound to pick up some at some point.

Some interesting old terms in here I hadn;'t run across before that might be useful in the future.
