Getting better, but...
There was something unnerving after a “contact bandage” removed from my eye didn’t improve my blurred vision.
I was under the naive impression that after healing under the contact for 5 days my blurry vision was the simple result of a dirty contact, and that removal would change that instantly. Like putting on glasses, my vision would snap right back. I knew the folly of that...

It's a Cam-off
So after many years of using a Konica DiMage A1 and then my current Konica Minolta DiMage A2, I’ve decided to kick KM to the curb and spend a few dollars on either a Canon (T1i, T2i, or T3i) or Nikon (D5000 or D5100). I’m leaning in the Nikon direction, because the D5100 has an HDR feature (unusable, some would say), but that’s just my mood today.
