Dear Canon,

Thanks for responding to my last tumblr post by adding 24p to the 5D. I had no idea you read my blog!

Love,
Ben

Hey Canon. Now that we know you’re not against 24p, please add it to my 5D Mark II. There’s no way I’m downgrading to an APS-C sensor.

I’m still using a lot of PostScript fonts from the late 80s. Can you name another technology that allows 20 year old files to see such routine and widespread use? Not only that, but PostScript is still state of the art. They had to cook up OpenType (bells! whistles!) just to keep selling fonts.

I mean think about it. Every single day I use font files that are older than recent college graduates. I used some of these exact files on my mom’s Mac SE-30 in 1988, and every Mac I’ve had since. I’ve never had to convert or upgrade them, and they work even better today (thanks antialiasing!) than they did back then. That is insane.

PostScript: UNBELIEVABLE!

Have never been this excited for a digital camera… I can finally use my crazy 16mm lenses again, like the 10mm f/1.8 and 25mm f/0.95.

Now we have to see how the video looks.
