Re: Loss of Robert OToole
I'm just now reading this, having just returned from a trip. I am really shocked by this sad news! In my more than 9 years of contact with Robert, he was always been friendly., “wise” , generous and knowledgeable. He wrote me about his successful short walks on the beach after his last heart attack ...

Re: 200mm Tube Lens Full Frame Test
Hi Robert, nice to see a new tube lens-test here. Thankyou again for this! And again a surprising result for the "simple" Raynox! This helps many of the readers here saving there hard earned money. (Let's hope Raynox, will not push the price for their 150 lens - if they have silent readers here) Pro...

Re: New 1.4x Lens Test Results Online
Robert, thankyou for another great testing and overview --- excellent, as we appreciate & love it. And thankyou for the time you have spent on this, again. Nice to see the performance of the tiny Nikkor 45mm f/2.8 7-elements scanner lens again – in comparison to the "giants" (SK MacroVaron) -- and t...

Re: Rodenstock Scitex LFOV 108mm f/5.6 Lens Test Results
Dear Robert, thankyou for another test of a rare lens and your appreciated work, again!

Re: Scanner Nikkor 38mm f/2.8 LS30 Scanner Lens Tested
Hi Typestar, Thank you again for the loaner lens and the idea to test it in the first place. :D Interesting...I bought an LS-20 and it had the same lens in it as the LS-30. Ray, interesting -- in my LS-20 I found the tiny 25 mm lens – only in a Nikon Coolscan III / LS-30 I found the LS-30 --- I agr...
