Specification doesn't mention adapter need compatible camera
2008-09-03I felt bad with this purchase. When the product arrived, I noticed that it needed an adapter to fit in my camera Kodak Z-7590, what is not mentioned in the specifications.
The site page just says that the lens is compatible with my camera.
To worsen the adapter needed is not more avaliable for purchase.

BE SURE YOU HAVE ALL THE PARTS
2008-07-09I received this lens and looked forward to using with my Kodak Dx-7590 digital camera. However, upon receipt I discovered that a lens adapter is needed to transition from my camera's 49mm connection to the 55mm connection on the wide angle lens.
After weeks of searching for an adapter at the Kodak store, Amazon, e-Bay, etc. I have given up and must return the lens.
CAUTION-BE SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF THE NEED FOR AN ADAPTER .

Great item !!
2008-05-03This lens looks great on my Kodak P712 camera and produces really SHARP images when set properly.I'll never understand why Kodak dropped the P series cameras. I've been a professional film photographer for over 50 years and changed over to digital about three years ago and can't say enough good words about the P712. I think Kodak made a big mistake.

Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm.
But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras.
At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents.
In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
