    Nikon G lenses - good, bad or meh?

    Many of us have watched what KR has written and his articles are often not accurate and are more often off base. He just does not cut the mustard, but he does cut the cheese.

    Nikon G lenses - good, bad or meh?

    The F100 has a shutter speed dial. The G lenses do not have an aperture dial. Which is the point. If some of your equipment was removed, you would have something to say about that.

    Rollei SL66

    So with a Hasselblad one just waits a little longer between buying lenses, that is all.

    The SWC would work well in this environment.

    Nikon G lenses - good, bad or meh?

    It is not a question about the quality of the optics, it is about the lack of the aperture ring, the loss of control and the inconvenience.

    Cataracts

    I prefer contact lenses to progressive lenses in the eyeglasses, however during the COVID pandemic it is easier to just wear the progressive eyeglasses since I am inside most of the time. This week for my coming 75th birthday I am going to Yosemite and I will wear the one contact lens [the...

    How many photons?

    PE said that one photon causes too much noise aka fog, and therefore two photons was the design goal. Hence sticking to even powers of 2.

    I think that you should use your energy and resources to invest in a Jobo 3010 Expert Drum. Then spend more time doing photography rather than posting about photography.

    Long time Nikon guy just got his first Leica... whee!

    There are screw drivers with grippers that hold the edges until the grippers are released.

    Your secret sleepers

    Why?? If you want to trash a good camera, it would be much more efficient to drive a steam roller over it. That would at least make an impression on the pavement.

    Cataracts

    Did is also add rods and cones to the retina so that the UV light could stimulate a signal? If so, how would the brain interpret the new signals.

    Cataracts

    Even with supplemental insurance, I would have to pay the difference. I found the the "cheapie" implant to be quite good and the residual astigmatism is corrected by eyeglasses. Without the glasses to vision is quite good.

    Cataracts

    I had one eye done last year. I see well enough now to drive without needing glasses but that is possibly illegal as the other eye still needs 3 diopters correction. It is nice to see distance without correction and it is much clearer. The Medicare approved implant is more than good enough...

    Talk me out of buying a Hasselblad Fisheye lens

    APUG-Photrio is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, enabling website on the known world. You can quote me on that.

    Rollei SL66

    He gave a long list of reasons starting with parts availability. He agreed with me that a working SL66 is a wonderful camera with capabilities that the Hasselblad does not have, however he feels that one would be happier in the long run with a Hasselblad.

    I have to stop to have a drink. Would you like one too? Scotch, Rye, Dry Gin Martini, Mai Tai? I was introduced to the Hurricane drink in New Orleans and I make those too now. What would you like?
