The quiet before the storm

I fear I've been very quiet of late, but that has not been for lack of activity, simply a lack of will to put finger to key-stroke.. However I hope to remedy that situation shortly with a flurry (flurry?! Really.. let's not exaggerate here!) of posts in the coming.. days? weeks? 
Well, the intention is to get some new stuff out.  Specifically some idiotic lens tests on sunstars on a sellection of new and old lenses.  Suntars are an untested metric in most lens reviews (bar Ken Rockwell, who always tests for it).  However they can look really cool and uplift a good photograph into great territory.  It won't do much for a mediocre picture though. But still, with modern lens designs gravitating towards perfectly round aperture blades, suntars are going the way of the dodo.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves..
Other things to look at.. a comparison of Nikon film and digital bodies and the evolution of their design.  Will the upcoming mirrorless cameas be a complete departure or will they retain design elements of old?
Ok.. I've said too much!  See you soon.
