As far as cameras in space go, all I can imagine is the mirror slapping open and sending a camera twirling in zero-g.
Well it does slap back down a fraction of a second later 8)

I wiped my facebook account a couple of years back, but a few days ago a friend logged in next to me to show me his latest horizontal conquest. About half the people I knew were using photos I shot as profile pics, it was a pretty :shobon:-moment.

If you let go of the camera before you feel the lock falling over the pin you deserve all the damage you'll get.

TBH turning the camera around so the lens is facing you before you put the strap on your shoulder fixes 90% of issues. It only becomes problematic if you have a second body and need to put it on your left shoulder.

Hey Rhombus, too bad you're done shopping for the time being. I could have given you the most insane deal on a Pen F and a 38/1.8 MINTY fresh, with original stylish lenscap. I also have an XA and 35RC.
Want. PM.

Sidenote: I'm looking for an affordable working Pen F or FT because I have a Canon Demi S that has stopped working. Would anyone happen to know of someone who could perhaps repair it? :3:
If you can find an Olympus 35 RD they're pretty nice too.

What kind of scrilla are you paying for that place, Brad?

Also, are there any issues one has to worry about when renting (I assume you're renting) a live-in commercial space?

You probably need to split surface/usage for tax purposes (you do in the Netherlands, but I assume it's the same in the US), and insurance can be a pain (no idea if that's the case in the US).

Was on holiday shooting friends goofing around on snowboards. Track turned to powder. I managed to keep the camera out of the pow, but a friend has a pretty hilarious "after" shot of me in the lift where my outfit picked up a distinct white cast.

I dunno, full frame is still held up as the pinnacle of SLR quality by "serious" amateurs.
No one's saying they'll stop making FF sensors. It's just hilariously hard to make big honking sensors efficiently.

If you're going to carry it, a netbook with an SSD is pretty bulletproof.

evil_bunnY
Apr 2, 2003

If your OS and hardware was made in the last decade the heads will park when it goes to sleep, but the no moving parts is the big thing. And you can get a very nice SSD for 200 bucks, which *will* make a difference, especially when reading/writing. Which is what you'd do with a machine like that.
LR must loving suck at netbook screen res though.

On the other hand, a photography road trip or vacation would be fantastic. My wife, I believe, might disagree.
2 things I like about shooting in groups (no matter the size):
- no one minds waiting 2 minutes for you to set up a shot
- assuming you're not old and decrepit, people just assume you're either students or tourists and leave you alone.

Back-illuminated technology only gives gains on very, very dense sensors (e.g. small pocket camera sensors). The marginal gains on a larger sensor with bigger photosites is much less pronounced.
Do you have a source/explanation for this? Now I'm curious.

Apr 2, 2003

I don't get this. Why hand the camera over if you know they can't use it?
poo poo I let people use my F3 all the time; I just get a ballpark aperture on it and tell them what the focus ring is for.
Same with digital, how much trouble is it to stick it on Program + Single and tell them to focus with the center point?

Either of the 35mm Nikkors would work peachy. If you're a poor bastard (and you don't shoot film), the f/1.8's probably better.

The aperture ring doesn't have to be linked 1:1 to the aperture mechanism.
