LAPC members, I am also a member of the Los Alamos Master Gardeners (LAMG). LAMG would like to sponsor a gentleman from ABQ (maybe he's from Santa Fe), ...
Bob, I also want to second your suggestion for a meeting topic. I suggest we have both a specific discussion (how can we make this particular guest speaker...
All, The may meeting will be a panel discussion with Minesh, Charles, Henrik Sandin (hopefully) and possibly one more speaker. The topic: "Tales from the road:...
Hi All, I just upgraded to the 50/1.4, so am selling my 50/1.8 (a.k.a. "nifty fifty"). It's a fantastic lens for portraits and low light. (Don't let the...
All - In regard to buying a TV for the Photo Club, I have spent many hours doing research and looking at TVs at Best Buy and Sam's Club. There are certainly a...
... Joel, Perhaps you know something about plasma TVs that I don't. Do you have and know someone in LA who has a plasma TV? I know of the concern about...
Ken: Thanks for all your research. Great Job on getting us something that we can use. And you got a cable in the deal also. You did a lot of research and I...
Ken, I believe you have already bought one, so further comment seems unwarranted other than to note that they tend to "buzz" at high altitudes. I, for one,...
Joel, I have taken your cautionary comments very seriously and done more online research on plasma TVs. There is a lot of conflicting information about plasma...
I recently purchased a Panasonic TC-P54S2 (discontinued) and I love it. I called all the makers of plasma's before I purchased to ask about altitude. The Pano...
Note, the older line of Plasma that I purchased is rated to 8400ft. The TC-P50S30 is rated to 7200ft. Hopefully that will not be an issue. At worst there will...
Allan, Thanks for your input about plasma TVs. Glad you like your set. The S2 model was one of those I was looking at a few weeks ago; the S30 is its...
... The only issue I see when rolling the TV is vibration. The TV is not designed for vibration, so I don't know how that will affect the TV. Also, it's a good...
Allan Marcus made some good points about plasma TVs. He likes their image quality. However, he wondered about how well a plasma TV might tolerate the vibration...
Dear all I have been wondering how we were going to secure this TV, and where it was to live! We can't be hauling it around like we do the projector! I have...
At a recent meeting, the club decided to buy a large-screen TV to display members' photos at future meetings. I was given the go ahead to decide on a TV, with...
Next week's Tuesday meeting will be a practical group exercise: a mini photo-walk. The exercise, led by Bob and myself, is to all go out at the start of the...
We will store it at the Art Center. Ken Nebel agreed to that before we decided to purchase it. Doug ... Doug Coombs http://dougsview.com ... From: "Doris/Jack"...
Assuming they actually have them in stock, this is the TV I would recommend for LAPC: http://www.tristatecamera.com/lookat.php?refid=279&sku=PANTCP50S2 $995 ...
The newest LCD TVs have excellent viewing angle capabilities, without significant color distortion up to rather large angles (50 degrees). Some, however, may...
Turns out we can order the same set from Walmart for more than $200 less. The thing I like about Walmart is that they don't charge for shipping to their store,...
As far as insurance goes, one option we discussed was gifting the TV to the Art Center and then it would be covered by their insurance. Ken was agreeable to...
ummm, I could not find the TC-P50S2 on walmart's site. I would be surprised if they still sell it as it's discontinued. IMHO there is no comparison between LCD...
Allan, yes, I don't see it now but I am pretty sure it was there a few days ago. It was probably a quick sale of some TVs they picked up. I'll look again if we...
I know I haven't been to a meeting in a while, but I'll bet a few good pictures were taken of the Las Conchas fire. Maybe that should be the theme for the next...
