Fotomax is still in business...it is a specilised photo developing store, they used to advertise on those 23-minute 35mm film developing...

I went back to look and the last post I saw was from August. Oh dear, oh dear, what happened to Jeff? Came to your blog and what's this? I've freaking missed three months! RSS Fail. And I missed a photo trip and I love those. So I promise to try not to comment on every photo post within the next 10 minutes as I catch up but have to say I love those night shots. The architecture of the buildings is so unique. So the other day I was thinking, I haven’t seen anything from Jeff Keller in my RSS feeds in a very long time.

My review pretty much covers my thoughts, though I found that the camera does clip highlights more than I had noticed when I reviewed it. Also, the lens release button is poorly placed and too easily to bump accidentally, which can throw you out of menus or playback mode, or cause a lens error. I'll see what I can do about those full size photos. Worked out very well.

Can you show some of the high res photos for us to check out? Thanks Jeff,

Only 10 upgraded passengers in business on Tuesday from what I've been told! I am leaving for Singapore tomorrow and have to go via Seattle-Tokyo, since my usual options of going via SFO-Tokyo or SFO-Hong Kong are full up front. That’s good that you didn’t have to worry.

I knew it was going to clear right away so I didn't have to worry. I applied for the upgrade (using miles) back when I booked the ticket.

This route is notoriously tough to get an upgrade. In all my years of flying to Asia on United, I've only done the HKG-SFO non-stop once and I had to sweat it out at the gate hoping my upgrade would clear, which it did.
