    what waS your last photography related purchase?

    I used a range finder with my Voigtländer Vito IIb when I first started using it with ISO 64 film but ended up estimating the distance and using a smaller aperture to get the greater depth of field as a safety margin. Using ISO 400 film eliminated the need for a range finder.

    A slide rule may be obsolete but it still works and does not require batteries nor updates.

    Use the straps to tie the tripod on either the top or the bottom of the pack. I never tried tying a tripod to the side of the pack.

    How does one get closer to the answer with a slide rule? Get a shorter slide rule.

    I predate you. Assembly on an IBM 7494. When we carried boxes of 2000 cards on our shoulders we were referred to as hod carriers.

    There is a thread on that. "I got it at a great cost savings." or "It followed me home." Either way you will be better off and much happier.

    I have had lenses that I was not particularly interested in, be offered at such a low price I could not pass them up. Some of them get used much more than ever thought.

    I think that it would be better to have the photographer flying alone side you. More intimate and personal.

    It is a slide rule not a slide ruler and I have one. It is an analog calculating device that uses logarithms. A slide rule calculates mantissas and the use figures out the exponent. No batteries are required.

    Same focal length, same camera, same film format, the slower one is a zillion times bigger than the other.

    My lenses do not connect to a computer so how would one correct distortion in software? 😇

    Developing HP5+ that I don't remember if I pushed or not
