thats in the fresh stuff, there wont be any left in the doublet now And the quantity there is minimal even if you were to redo the pair from scratch, its not like you sniff it everyday

400 will clog way before being worn out. If it gets recoated gelcoat layers are relatively thick so you dont need the finish you would have under spray paints or varnish. Think more working on a fiberglass boat rather than working on a car

Michael, when it comes to glass fibre you have two main groups, the cloth and the mat. What u see in the sink is mat Wherever you find fiberglass products with mat you know the resin used is polyester resin (mat is not prepped for epoxy so they dont work well together) What covers it is gelcoat...

As practical thing the lose infinity focus becomes "no matter what objects far away are not in focus" a wide angle is gonna be more forgiving, they have greater DOF at wider apertures, but on a tele you cant really substitute the aperture for a lack of focusing, specially on the ones that need...

Yashica FX3 super, which is still my favorite camera, been all over with it, and still use it Not the first camera I owned, but first slr...

it depends on the lens you are using and how you use I think In some cases you have the one lens that you use only for portraits, and maybe you dont even care about landscapes or getting to infinity, if you then dont even ever need to shoot using only the marking on the lens then I would guess...

if you use those anti newton ring covers to go on top of the negative to keep it nice and flat you can mark some reference lines on them, the software can use the marks as points for stitching if there are large emtpy areas and they are easy to eliminate later on

the grubs can be made easily by cutting the head off a micro screw and cutting a slot and for threads a set of micro taps is about 15$ If there is enough meat you could instead drill the face of the adapter to catch the mount tabs and countersink the head of a flathead screw (the ones made like...

you will have to thread 3 holes in the throat of the adapter, where there is meat for the tip if the grub to grab onto the original camera mount, 3 or 2 grubs should do it, Its awhile I havent had stuff with that mount in hand, if u look at it you can easily spot where its more convenient (IF...

Yashica FX3super, old film in unlabelled, only asa marked, cassette developed in caffenol And turned out the film was color and the 3 frames I actually cared for are one on top of the other, just those go figure... :(

would avoid superglue, its not that reliable, epoxy is incredibly strong and always works However often happens that as soon as you make a permanent modification something comes op that makes u wish it wasnt permanent... There is the chance that 3 set screws (I think its grubs for u guys) can...

jeez people, fiberglass is the common general name for whatever made of some resin and any sort of matting... everyone gets what the animal is... for now its just made of fiberdirt The biggest issue is that it can make a mess wherever you clean it, end of the driveway is probably your best spot...

Since your work involves no particular distortions for the software to work out, I wouldn't think you would find much of a difference in result using something else extra other than photoshop. (I have been using that and Hugin)

Agreed Im always around between two continents and have gear in both places, I learned to check first and even call the airline if needed, sometimes when told beforehand they allowed stuff in the cabin if I gave it to the crew for the whole flight. My saxophone and an oversized camera bag...

jeez man... was just waxing her legs... I learned that girls don't have a sense of humor about that, when I was older enough to have hair on my own legs I had to go to soccer practice with an hairless strip on my thigh because I didnt keep enough distance while joking
