It's big, it's expensive and it's an audiophile's dream: The Sonos Sub
@Steve Todd Re: Sorry, Audiophile and Sonos in the same sentence?
In which case you can plug a CM100 (or is it 120) unamped unit in to your stereo and take advantage of streaming over your decent HiFi system. Leave the play 1/3/5s to other rooms.
Re: have they fixed the horrible lag?
Never had that problem myself, however I know that issue is meant to exist with the Play Bar.
Pay-by-bonk on the blink: O2 loses Wallet
The real problem is people like real cash
Let us not forget there have been previous attempts to move us on to electronic direct money transfers - let us not forget Mondex from the late 1990s (or was it later) - great idea of having your own digital wallet and being able to do direct transfers of small amounts to others without having to go through a banking system (literally an electronic cash wallet for those too young to remember). In theory it was a great idea, but when tested no one wanted to use it and it died.

Sonos and I: How home media playback just gets SO FRUSTRATING
Re: Nice.... but not quite there yet !
To the two above
1. Power supply - Sonos units all plug in to the mains - which is a shame as it'd be nice to have a fully portable unit to take out in to the garden.
2. Mono - nope all devices are at least stereo, however with the Play series you can use a pair as 'stero' speakers - i.e. one covering left and one covering right.

For some reason LG have done a deal with Verizon so onlty their version gets in-built Qi charging. now 4 months ago I'd not have thoguht about this, but since then I've been using a Qi charger with my Nexus 4 and now can not do without it.
Sure LG have said there will be an accessory, but having to use a specific add-on (almost cerainly a case) does part defeat the object

Another Hater Here
While the old wireless hotspot issue appears not to have raised its annoying head at work (where a wifi DC ends your certificate), I've struggled to like it since upgrading my iPad last night. There's just too much visibly wrong with it. Sure I like what they've done to the calendar app and also making newstand an app so I can file it away is also a good thing, but it's just too garish, too obtrusive, poorly designed, in your face.
The old look may have been dated but it just felt right, from first time till I upgraded last night. This is just proof that Jonny Ives might be a great technical designer but he shows little knowledge of user itnerfaces (and/or was stoned when he signed this off).

Re: incompatible

My main drive - a Citron C6, also has a HUD and it's so instinctive I find myself struggling to find the speedo in my other cars \00/ - I do feel its safer. However, my HUD (nor the ones in other Citrons, Peugots, BMWs and Audis), does not allow me to browse G+, FB, twiter, etc, nor does it alert me to new emails or relevant social network posts.
The key thing is, it is not the fact that it provides some thing useful, it's the fact google glasses will also provide lots of distractions.

Shame it's HDMI 1.4
Did cross my mind this might be a cheap solution for those of us with older TV sets who want the ability to get services such as Netflix (my BD player gives my LoveFilm and BBC iPLayer, but not said Netflix), however I suspect quite a lot out there, like my TV set, only have HDMI 1.3
Now I'm not exactly TV knowledgeable so feel free to tell me it makes no difference.
Star Wars missile intercept fails for fifth year running
Re: Can't they have a word with the Israelis?
Actually the Iron Dome system was meant to have worked remarkably well with very few missiles getting through and hitting human occupied areas. The system is clever enough that on detecting an incoming missile it will calcualte where it will land and if that's waste land, desert, the sea, etc, then it will leave it be and save the missile for the next potential target.
As others have said, it is only a defence against short range missiles (though theoretically also agaisnt SCUD type) and is part of a three tier solution. Middle tier will be the replaement for patriot (which had only about a 50% success rate during the Gulf War), and the third tier a theoretical defence agaisnt ICBMs.
Iron Dome is Israeli tech, not a joint project, however I do understand they are looking to sell it to the US.
Douglas Engelbart, PC pioneer and creator of the mouse, dies at 88
Re: Maybe they will know him now.
I think the problem came about because he did slip in to obscurity as the world was not yet ready for his work. After all just how many of the general world (and a lot of the IT world) have heard of him, or Joseph Licklider. Without the pair of them we'd almost certainly not have the computer aided world we have today.

Review: Renault Zoe electric car
The Electric Car Is Dead !
Sorry guys but, I'll quote the author first
"To argue that the electric car has already failed is farcical. To date only one mass-market EV from an established car maker has been launched in the UK: the Nissan Leaf. Even I'm not fully convinced by the Leaf. I think it's too big, too ugly and too expensive. A revised, cheaper, longer-range Sunderland-built model will address some of those failings, but I can't see it changing my essential feelings towards it.
No, in my opinion the only two cars that will fly the flag of the e-car in a convincing manner in 2013 are Toyota's Prius Plug-in hybrid and Renault's new Zoe BEV. If in two years' time global sales of these two are still piss poor then, and only then, will I discuss the "failure" of the e-car."
And now I'll like everyone to do a google ot look for press releases in recent months by Carlos Ghosn. He's the head of both Nissan and Renault. He has been the main driving force behind the pure electric car and the reason why Nissan and Renault sell these where as all their rivals only do hybrids and are only researching hybrids and/or hydrogen power.
So the head of the only main stram manufacturer of electric cars made an announcement a month or two ago. Basically Ghost said that he still liked the concept of a pure EV but as an enterprise it was a failure and as a result Nissan-Renault will now be dropping research in to them and instead look towards developing a range of hybrid cars based upon existing models.
This leaves no major motoring manufacturer in this field, with only Tesla seeming to be developing the technology and they can harldy be considered significant. Oh and don't bring G-Wizz up - no news of any new cars and even their existing one used old tech.
Review: Living with Microsoft's new Surface Pro
Re: Guess I'll got one - it looks great to be used together my camera.
I was also thinking the same thing - also great for processing photos out of the house (i.e. on location or holiday).
@ Dave126 - iPad is useless for DSLR owners due to lttle in the way of options, a reliance mainly on expensive additional cables or wireless adapters (unless you have the latest generation of high end professional cameras - assuming you have access to a wirelss network for connectivity - I still seem to find hotels with either no conenctivity, Internet only in the foyer/louge/bar area, or cable conenction in the room) and no high end photo processing options. With a Surface Pro tablet (or a PC or MAC laptop) you can have full camera control (again missing from the tablet toy apps) and decent processing software.
The truth on the Navy carrier debacle? Industry got away with murder
Re: Lewis misses the point
If the Jutland book is blaming German shells penetrating the magazine armour then it's both out of date and inaccurate. Lots of proof now that many of the ships in Beatties BC squadron had all the doors/traps open between the magazines, powder stores and the guns so they could fire as fast as possbile (Beattie was obsessed with rate if fire and not accuracy as he believed if you fired often enough some shells would hit ...). Net result was that a non-penetrating shell exploding could, and in multiple instances, did result in ships exploding. The RN knew about Beattie's effects (he also penalised crews of slow firing ships) before thae start of the war, plus it came out in the internal enquiry, but was then put under Official Secrets so it would not show that Beattie (who soon after replaced Jelicoe as admiral in a politial manouever) was an incompetant donkey. The British press by that stage, while jingoistic, was also intrisive, hence the blame going on the lack of armour on the battle cruisers.
Think we've some what segued here.
Re: Chocolate Teapot
Good job then that Argentina found a way round all these millitary procurement mistakes as they have made no major investment in the armed forces since the Falklands War, hve not replaced lost aircraft, most their navy (including the CV) is now effectively scrap, and their armed forces makes ours large while also being positioned for the potential restart of a number of border wars.

Sorry, Apple-haters, but Cupertinian doom not on the horizon
Re: Bah!
Problem is, if you were correct, then there would be big fluctuations in each direction as shorters and market makers effectively manipulate the market. This would be a daily or even hourly thing.
The reality is that the share price has been in a steady decline for 4 months now, there's been no spikes or dips, so no real shorting. Apple had been a favourate with long term inverstors and investment houses (think pensions) as they have been safe, reliable, and always rising. For the stock to drop over 30% in just four months shows signs of the big players selling and getting out, or at least offloading larger chunks of their investments. A furtehr 10% today shows that Cook's performance has not imperssed the city.
I do not think they will collapse, but I have said for a long time that the stock was seriously over-priced and I think what we're seeing at present is a reballancing towards a more reasonable price, at which point it will level out once more (unless there's a major screw up - successes rarely cause big price rises). Apple with carry on as before and the only peopel hurt will be those who got carried away on god like stock.

Former CEO John Sculley: Apple must adapt or die
Re: Sculley @ Steve Todd
Depends who's version of history you follow. In his semi-biography he was pushed, in Pirates of Silicon Valley (which was considered near canon at the time) he tried a coup on John Scully which failed and then was forced out.
Also Pixar is a very bad example as John Lasseter pointed out their success was because they rarely sawe Steve and as long as they used his NeXT boxes he cared little. Supposedly he visited the Pixar offies less than once a year and never gave input.
@ Piro
Don't let rose tinted glasses confuse you. Sure Saint Steve saved Apple on his return, however part of Scully's problems were down to the fact he was trying to run a fractured company with nervous paranoid workers, all of which was down to the way Steve Jobs ran things in the first place.
(now without poor grammer and spelling mistakes of the last two attempts ... I hope)
Re: Try comparing like with like
Damn want to argue with Steve Todd, but he is right. As much as I see Apple products as expensive, they are actually competitvely spec'ed with their rival offerings.

Review: Google Nexus 4
Re: No mention of call quality nor of messaging system abilities, among other things
I found exactly the same thing - still not found a decent email client - Z9 does not touch the old WinMobile stock one despite looking plain and a little clunky. Also time management and contacts are shocking, The way I see it is as smart phones get more powerful and new toys, they also become dumber. 20 months in to my first Android phone the main reason I'm going for another is that as a heavy PDA user there's no real rival, especially with the direction MS have taken. In reality these are not smart phones, but rather app phones.
This has left me in two minds
I'm not sure what to do now. When the second batch went up in to the store some 5 weeks back I snagged myself a 16 GB one on 5-6 weeks notice (has anyone with shorter notice received theirs yet ?) as:-
1. My HTC Desire Z was near killed by the Gingerbread upgrade (known issue HTC refuse to acknowledge) (oh and none of the reliable rooting methods work beyond Froyo)
2. My Desire Z is rapidly failing (HTC don't seem to make them like they used to)
3. I can't swap my phone under contract until mid Feb
4. While tempted by a Note 2 for Feb I want to wait till Voda sell the LTE version (June/July ?)
I felt it was a decent handset for a silly price to tidy me over till June/July and then possibly sell. The problems for me are as to whether it will actually arrive, and more importantly battery life. My present and previous two phones have been fitted with extended batteries (HTC Desire Z, HTC Touch Pro, and HTC TyTn) as I like to have some juice spare by the end of the day and traditionally have travelled through low signal areas, which always hammers the battery. The repeated reviews claiming short battery life worry me.
British armed forces get first new pistol since World War II
Desert Eagles ....
Love the comments about the IMI Desert Eagle. So lets get some facts straight.
The Dersert Eagle was originally produced in two calibres, .357 magnum for armed forces and the police and .44 magnum for fire arms enthusiasts.
The 50cal Desert Eagle was originally produced ONLY for the US collectors/firearms-nut market. I'm not sure it was ever officially sold else where.
The .357 magnum model proved to have too recoil for combat situations (where a proper firing stance may not be possible) and so proved to be unpopular with the troops. As a result it was dropped and replaced with the IMI Jericho, which comes with two barrels, tow magazines, etc to be able to use one of two rounds. The classic 9x19mm and the harder hitting, but less rounds in the magazine 10mm magnum.
Incidentally, I know from a US based friend and gun nut that the IMI Jericho is actually sold in the US as the Desert Eagle - I know so as we got into an argument as he claimed he had a 9mm Eagle - he sent me photos and I sent back reference photos.

Alas the look and feel are a different matter resulting in their holder (is it Sony or Time Warner) threatening anyone who make anything even close to resembling the look.

text: J.V. Girls Basketball had their opening game Saturday at Kent. The team came out with a quick start and took an early 10-8 lead. However, Kent got a hot shooting hand and took a 19-14 halftime lead. The second half saw a lot of back and forth action but Berkshire could not overcome the Kent lead. Berkshire was led by senior captain Hong Minh Ngo who scored 14 points in a gutty performance. Freshman Taylor Willi had a great hustle game and added 7 points, while Co-captain Liza Bernstein scored another 6 points. Kristina Niemi and Nicole Martinez both had great performances in their first ever basketball game to help the Bears' cause. Berkshire will host Indian Mountain next Wednesday.

Handbound: Your Thursday Dose of Chronicle Craft
11.27.08 | Alyce Benevides and Jaqueline Milles | Craft, Guest Authors, Home
From the Desks of Jaqui & Alyce:
Has anyone else noticed that it's always a case of feast or famine? In my non-knitting life, I work as an event planner with plenty of down time and then plenty of "I'm so busy I could die!" time. So, of course, when Chronicle recently asked us to write a blog entry in conjunction with our new release, it turned out to be at the busiest, craziest, most hectic time of the year for us. But what the heck, we'll add it to our to-do list. (The list of things that should have been done yesterday!)
We are thrilled to celebrate the release of THE SOCK KNITTING KIT with a party at The Point Knitting Café in NYC. Just finished emailing an announcement yesterday and our evite goes out tonight. This is also the time of year when the demand for our handmade Mohawk hats gets high, so we are spending many evenings knitting, knitting, and yes, knitting. This week for me: four custom jobs, including a NY Rangers Mohawk hat (I wonder how many copy-cat fan requests that will lead to? Here's to a great hockey season!!)
Like most knitters, I have quite a few partially completed projects floating around my house and it seems that they are all needing to be completed ASAP. A pair of socks for my sister's birthday made of yummy cashmere and a cute pin-up palette of red with black hearts. It was inspired by our own sock kit, sort of a combo of the Pom-Pom Sock and the Pin-up Stocking. I kept the ankle length and added the contrast color heel & toe. Only one done, though!
Also making a very cool Mohawk hat for Joe Sumner of Fiction Plane. I'm a fan of the band, and he apparently is a fan of the Newcastle soccer team… so of course I couldn't resist…
For myself I've been knitting up a chunky shawl/shrug. I've tried it in various yarns and finally found a beautiful Teal/Blue alpaca yarn I want to use.
The inspiration for that? I want to wear it to my 20th High School Reunion coming up in just two weeks!! And yes, of course I want people to ask if I knit it myself…
I'm happy to say that this season has been mad busy for us! Launching our baby hat line, knitting up two custom baby hats for Gwen Stefani, designing our line sheets and press kit while keeping up with orders, working full time and spending time with my husband, it seems every time I look at the clock it's midnight! This week for me: update the website, knit up a Punk's Not Dead Mohawk hat for Depeche Mode's webmaster BRAT and send out The Sock Knitting Kit to various publications for review! I am trying to get around to making myself a pair of socks like the ones we made for Depeche Mode's Martin Gore this past summer.
I also plan to knit myself the BOREALIS SWEATER from Twinkle's Weekend Knits over the holidays. That gorgeous yarn has been sitting on my shelf for over 6 months and it is calling to me! Admittedly, this is my favorite time of year not only because I get to wear jackets (obsession #2) but also because I get to be a walking billboard for our knitwear! My #1 obsession is our Mohawk hat, of which I currently have four different designs/colors and I alternate them on a daily basis. People LOVE this hat and stop me constantly to inquire where I got it. Truly, there is nothing better than saying "My friend and I make them, here let me give you our card."
For all of you New Yorkers, we'd love to see you at our sock party on 12/3! Please click here for more info.

AUSTIN — The manager of the state's electric grid has issued another plea for saving energy as the Texas heat wave lingers.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas says a "vital" need for conservation exists through Tuesday. Consumers are urged to shut off unnecessary lights and electrical appliances from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday.
ERCOT this month has issued several conservation pleas for its region, which includes Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, Corpus Christi, Abilene and the Rio Grande Valley.
ERCOT officials said the all-time weekend record for peak weekend usage was set this weekend and all-time single day peak could be reset for the fourth time this summer on Monday or Tuesday.
ERCOT handles about 85 percent of the state's electric load, managing the flower of power to about 23 million customers.

BP Comment Quick Links
October 17, 2013 Transaction AnalysisSweeney Swings a Deal
Claimed OF-R Travis Witherspoon off waivers from the Angels. [10/8] It's not often a player with a .210/.295/.345 slash line gets claimed off waivers, and even rarer when those numbers came in Double-A. Yet the Mariners claimed Witherspoon based on his physical promise rather than his past performance. The 24-year-old is as fast as they come and shows more pop than the typical burner, though the question has been (and will continue to be) whether he'll make enough contact for the tools to play. So far the answer is no. There's a solid chance that continues to be the case, but the Mariners feel it's worth the waiver-claim fee to see if he can develop into an extra outfielder.

16 Inch Wheels On The Fiesta Titanium Mk7

It would be helpful if members with the buckling wheel problem, where to list the type and size of the alloys and also the type of tyre fitted.
The more information in the public domain, the better.
The tyre brand on my titanium is Hankook (16 multispoke alloy wheels)
My car is used as a driving instruction car and most learners are not good at missing potholes but so far I have not had any problems with bent or damaged alloys. I will say the tyres also seem to help protect the alloys from kerb damage.
Posted 17 December 2010 - 10:26 PM

Posted 18 December 2010 - 11:07 AM
How about we collect all our alloys and go dump them on the door step of Fords Office in Brentwood see if they listen then
Posted 18 December 2010 - 12:36 PM
Posted 18 December 2010 - 01:07 PM
To all the people with buckled wheels, can you tell just from looking at them or the way the car handles? Or does it normally come as a nasty surprise when the car is at a garage for something and they tell you? Mine seem to be fine so far (visually and no vibrations), just wondering if there's a chance they're not and I'm simply unaware! Cheers
Uneven wear,Bald spots,Vibrations i had all these symptoms

My car pulls to the left regardless of the camber of the road, that was why I took it in and found out both front wheels were buckled...inside of the front tyres were worn too.
Posted 06 January 2011 - 12:08 PM
Our Fiesta is a 1.6Tdci Titanium and we had the 16" 7 spoke alloys so the problem with Fiesta alloys seems to affect all the 17" and 16" standard fit wheels.
The dealerships claim that no-one else is having a problem with them and Ford Cust Service? claim the same.
I think it's disgraceful that they can just fob you off when you've purchased a brand new car a year before and expect you to keep coming back spending £200 each time a wheel decides to buckle itself. Surely these wheels aren't fit for purpose?
Ford Motor Company should be embarrased into dealing with this problem.
Posted 06 January 2011 - 10:50 PM
In month 1, hit pot hole, bent wheel, bought new wheel.
In month 17 changed the 16" to 17"
In month 25, blow out, bent wheel, put 16s back on as I'm getting rid of car!
Posted 30 January 2011 - 09:54 PM
I am running the 17" "Streetpack" alloys and 2 have buckled. The vibration through the steering wheel at motorway speeds was bordering on dangerous. I replaced the first wheel that buckled (£160). I thought that was maybe a one off but recently a second alloy has buckled. I got it balanced and put it on the rear but now the vibration at motorway speed passes through the whole vehicle structure, producing an uncomfortable "buffeting" sound. Im not happy as I payed £400 for the optional "Streetpack" and now I have to shell out an extra £160 for each alloy which buckles. I have also been very careful with potholes etc etc
Hmm... New here (as you can see) but just (today) purchased a 1.4 Titanium with the 15-spoke alloys on it. During the test drive I mentioned to the sales girl about a shudder at 60mph felt through the steering wheel. In my list of 'fix-its' I have asked the dealer to fix this before I take over the car. Wonder if the shudder is actually an alloy wheel problem? What else should I ask the dealer to check to ensure I don't take ownership of a car with dodgy alloys?
Thanks in advance
Posted 01 February 2011 - 08:11 PM
As an example, I've collated info from two threads in two forums. This one (FOC) and Ford-Forum.net (FFN) They're on my system as an excel sheet, but I attach here a picture of the sheet. Happy to collate more if people PM me with their details (all details held private)
Is it worth pursuing? Has everyone now gone quiet?

A 45 AMG Trailer Teases More Details
We've seen the pictures and now we see the video. Courtesy of the official Mercedes-AMG Youtube channel, we get glimpses of the A 45 AMG in action, both on a winding road and on track. Of course, this is a teaser video, so don't expect any head-to-head action. Probably using the same unit as the ones we saw in the static pics, Mercedes-AMG further shows glimpses of the cockpit, the switchgear and the driver snicking up the gears using the paddle shifters. Although an all-wheel driver, AMG has apparently given the A 45 a 67/33 distribution bias, to help emulate a proper rear-driver when the driver feels the need for… Continue Reading »

Transition Lenses: SLR to DSLR
August 6, 2009
When is an old camera lens good enough to influence which DSLR body to purchase?
I never had an expensive kit, but have one prime lens used on my Yashica FX-3 Super 2000 that I quite like. It's identifying marks include Carl Zeiss Planar T* 1,7/50.
So, I went from really liking photography to moving to digital point and shoots and am now ready to move back to enjoying photography with a DSLR. Is this lens, along with a so-so telephoto, enough to influence what to buy? There's so much confusing information about adapters that I'm not quite sure if this is even possible with the lenses I already have.
By the way, I do understand that this would limit me to manual focus. I'm completely comfortable with this unless you can tell me there are other features other than autofocus I'd be missing out on.

I was a pro photographer for 25 years, and taught college photo for 15.
I've had Nikons for most of that time. I bought digital a few years ago and I've found that my D200 has far greater resolution than anything but Kodachrome 25. So I discovered that a lot of my old primes weren't as sharp as I thought.
BUT, I found that the brand new (ungodly expensive) zoom I bought was actually sharper than any prime I had ever owned.
Your lens may be as sharp as you need it to be, but you won't know until you see what 10mp shows you.
Worry more about the quality of the sensor (you can't change it like you could change film) and the ergonomics of the body.

An excellent lens can be worth it, but IMO never when it would force you to use an adapter, as this will always change the metrics for which the lens was designed (apart from mechanical problems).
Since you will also need a digital camera body good enough to notice the lens' quality, this comes down to Nikon, Canon, and Hasselblad systems where it
be worth it. (Because these offer both lenses and bodies good enough to justify this, while at the same time having compatible lens mount for their older lenses).

I wouldn't let it influence you on the basis of that one lens at all. Practically everything is adaptable to Canon and they have a huge selection of glass on the second hand market, but that doesn't make it the best system for you. In particular, Sony and Pentax do stabilisation in the body, which means that when you attach an ancient prime lens, it will be stabilised. Getting stabilised shooting on your old lenses is not something to be sneezed at, but those systems support a narrower range of 3rd-party glass.
Agree with johngumbo that top of the line new zooms mostly resolve as much as the sensor is capable of but many don't and we're talking $2000 lenses here. While there are plenty of poor quality old primes (there has always been an "entry-level" lens and it has always sucked), there is a lot of mid-late 20th century manual glass available for a song that will resolve as much as any DSLR currently on the market. Stop-down metering etc gets to be a drag though.
If I were you, I would decide which system is the best fit for what you want to do. If that doesn't include support for your old lens (i.e. if you buy Nikon you have little to no chance of attaching old manual non-Nikon lenses), then sell it. If it was any good, you'll get enough for it to replace it with something else that is compatible and of similar quality - the used lens market is pretty liquid and predictable if you're careful.
Very short and over-simplified summary of your options:
- Canon: has masses of lenses available and some of the best telephotos but they can't build a wideangle to save their life. Many (including me) think their user interface sucks. You can adapt nearly any old manual lens (C/Y, Leica, M42, etc) to an EOS body, though some have issues with the mirror hitting some lenses. New prices are pretty low but they're selling a lot of fairly old designs as new lenses. Best autofocus performance for sports/birds to go with the $5000 long teles.
- Nikon: used market in modern lenses is not as big as Canon's but much larger towards the older end. Can't practically adapt old lenses to it. Telephotos are so-so but they have some fantastic ultrawide glass and macros. New prices are quite high. Currently has the best high ISO (D3/D700) and high res (D3x) bodies.
- Sony: in-body stabilisation, which means your commonly-used mid-range and wide primes are stabilised, which is awesome. You probably won't ever see a stabilised 24, 35 or 50 on Canon/Nikon, but on Sony you get stabilisation with all the old Minolta glass, including the very fast stuff. Used market is much smaller, second-hand lens prices are high for the really good stuff. New pricing is high but on a par with Nikon. You won't get AF Zeiss glass on any other mount, and that stuff is fantastic. Best value full frame and high res body (A900 with same sensor core as D3x at 1/3 the price but narrower band Bayer mask for better colour quality at low ISO but slightly poorer at high ISO). Live view on sony is with secondary sensor in the viewfinder so you get full-speed AF but you don't get a pixel-perfect view off the main sensor as implemented by Canon/Nikon.
- Pentax: like Sony but much smaller company. Bodies are better value for money than any other player in terms of features, but they don't have a full-frame option and they look like they're on the way to going bust, which is very sad as they're quite innovative.
- Olympus: 4/3 is IMHO a too-small sensor. Too hard to get shallow DOF effects. Nothing wrong with the lenses except their price and availability.

Cheaper DSLRs typically have smaller and dimmer viewfinders than you may be used to. Manual focus can be much more difficult with them.
I'd personally ditch the lens. Everyone who's worth considering makes fantastic fast 50mm primes. Canon & Nikon both have sub-hundred dollar f/1.8 lenses that are
sharp, and I imagine, in terms of image quality at least, are pretty comparable to your Zeiss lens (build quality is probably worse, since they're new instead of old). Canon's 50mm f/1.4 is faster and is a great lens ($350) and I am sure Nikon offers something comparable.
I would avoid adapters unless you have some exotic or super expensive lens (e.g., 400mm f/2.8, or some > 1:1 macro thing)
I would definitely recommend Nikon or Canon - I personally use Canon, but they have pretty similar levels of high quality lenses and bodies.

Polyglot has it. The answer is no.
For any camera other than a full frame camera your 50mm lens is going to be the equivalent of a 85mm lens or longer, aka not that useful. It might not be that great in the digital environment anyway.
All these camera brands have some Achilles heal to deal with. Canon's is there old primes that haven't been updated and kind of suck mostly. I know about that because I use Canon. Sony sounds good but the smaller market share makes it a dodgier proposition.

The only way I'd let a lens I currently owned dictate my entry into DSLR photography would be if that lens were some kind of an exotic optic. Even then it would have to be an exotic optic that was known for performing superbly on a DSLR. As nice as it may be, that 50/1.7 Planar is not an exotic optic.
For the most part, modern lens designs are the best they've ever been.
A lot of near legendary lenses originally designed for film cameras are merely so-so, or worse, on DSLR bodies.

One of my main lenses is a 28mm f/2.8 T* Distagon on a C/Y mount. I used it on my 5D all the time and it is an amazing lens, and it cost me $200 with the adapter.
So that's my recommendation, get a used 5D, a manual focus screen (EE-S - $30) and go wild.

My understanding is that all of the lenses made for DSLRs have electronics in them to communicate with the camera. Your old lens won't so no matter how good a lens it is no modern camera will work with it as well as it will with a modern lens. Frustrating when you've invested in good equipment in the past but combined with how much better most modern lenses are and you're better off retiring it.

There are, in a historical context, very few lenses made for DSLRs - Canon has 6 of them, for example. All modern lenses (as in, the past 20 years modern) should communicate with their own brand of DSLR bodies without problem.

I'm a rank amateur with an entry level Canon DSLR. I have some old Nikon lenses from my dad, with an adapter to make them work on Canon (metering works, but they are manual focus). After using auto focus with the kit lens and other lenses I bought, manual focusing (especially on any moving subject such as a toddler) is teh suck. I simply don't use the older Nikon lenses any more, as it's too tedious. If you're in a financial position to get a "modern" lens to replace the focal length of the older lens, you may just want to do so. (I.e., Canon makes a 50mm f/1.8 lens that can be had for ~$100 USD; it is not perfect, but is extremely good for the price.)

As always, this community is superb! So thorough and I always get more information than I knew I needed.
I'm convinced. Now I just need to see if I can make myself actually sell off this old kit; I can't imagine anyone in my family wanting it as a handmedown, but it served me so well for 20 years.
Thanks, all.

Just to jump in late here with a couple thoughts. First, a Zeiss lens could be great. That company has made some great glass. It may not be super sharp, but it probably has a cool look all its own. Second, that lens was designed for use with film. It will look its best with film, who knows how great on a dslr. So keep your Yashica to use with that lens. Shoot some black and white film with it.

Ooopps!!! Finger trouble - pushed the post button too soon!
What I meant to add to the above post was - few camera mounts will handle lenses older than a few years with all their original functionality intact. Pentax will, except for the power zoom in a couple of lenses, but that won't help you. I don't know if anyone is currently producing a mount compatible with Yashica, but ask at a good camera store (preferably with the lens in your hand).
Just because it is old, doesn't mean it is no good. If it is good lens, and you can find a DLSR that will accept it (if one exists, it will be one of Oly, Pentax or Sony), that is a good starting point for step 2 ...
If you are going digital, shop around and try all the DRLR manufacturers' products. The herd will go with Canon and Nikon, but Olympus, Sony and Pentax also make good products and should not be discounted just because their marketing budgets don't match those other two.

You don't need to sell it, you can use it in parallel with your shiny new DSLR. Go get a daylight development tank, some D-76, rapid fixer and a brick of HP5 or Pan-F. Use it like it was meant to be used!

Kyle Huneke excited to take on new challenge as activities director
•by Randy Carlsen
Election, Saturday, March 19, 1:30 till 5 o'clock.
On Saturday afternoon of next week the voters of this district will vote on the proposition of selling additional bonds to the amount of $18,000 for the purpose of constructing the new grade building as planned. It was thought when the bonds for $41,000 were voted last spring that labor and material would have come down sufficiently by this time to enable us to complete the building at that price but such is not the case. Material has come down some but not as much as expected and the outlook for two or three years to come is not very promising. In the meantime we need the new building and the state department insists that we build if we wish to remain on the accredited high school list and to obtain state aid.
The $41,000 plus $18,000 or $59,000, if voted, will be spent as follows: $40,043 to the general contractor, $12,473 for plumbing, heating, and ventilation, $1,440 for electric wiring and the balance for the architect's fees, pump and motor, sewage disposal, electric fixtures, window shades, auditorium seating, library tables, and other necessary equipment.
The voters of this district expressed themselves wholeheartedly in favor of the new building when the $41,000 was voted last spring and we are sure they will do the same now. Let every man and woman in the district, eligible to vote, come out to the high school on Saturday afternoon of next week and express the views on the subject by ballot.

I was born on the island of Ischia. At thirteen, I was already working my first season as a server in a pizzeria. For many years, I worked on the island during the summer and travelled during the winter. I've just about been around the world, and Italy. My passion for cooking developed from watching my mother and my grandmother in the kitchen. They would look for the best ingredients meticulously, to use in their dishes and to pass down Ischia's traditional recipes. That might help explain the love I feel for this land. Even though Ischia is an island, agricultural traditions are very much alive. Just about everyone who lives here has a small orchard they tend themselves. And I like the relationship that the Ischitani have with the land: they consider it to be something precious and that needs to be preserved.

A camping heater can be a great addition to your camping equipment list! If you're like me you want to get camping at the first sign of spring and keep making trips until the very end of fall, but those early spring and late fall camping trips can include some really cold weather and it can be pretty hard to enjoy yourself when your fingers are turning blue! Luckily, there are specially made heaters that are specifically for camping! Now you can camp well into the end of the season and still stay warm. Some of these are for outdoor use only, but a few models can be used inside the tent for warming at night. Of course, you will need to take extra care to place the inside heater away from any of your other gear so that there is no risk of fire. With the right equipment and safety precautions, you can keep warm while camping no matter what the weather! … [Read More...]

Tight Budget Leaves Halfway Houses Empty
WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Corrections officials say five newly built or expanded halfway houses are sitting empty because there is no money for workers.
