I finished reading Mike Johnston's book this evening, "Lenses and the Light-Tight Box" -- a collection of essays on cameras and lenses, which for photographic gearheads like me, is a fun read. Mike is a good writer, and some of the chapters in the book have appeared elsewhere in photographic magazines. He's not out to push a product-- he tells what he thinks of a camera. He does not mind shooting sacred cows when necessary. His take on lenses is that almost any lens is good at f8. It's what you do with the lens that matters. If you enjoy reading about cameras and lenses and photography, it's a book you'll want to read. It's available online at lulu.com
