    I have not had one in many years, but the worst part was the bunch of electrodes attached to the skin with some super adhesive. It must have been developed by some hairless due or a woman. :lol:

    Western Digital He12, 12 TB and 14 TB HDDs

    Consumers with middling desktops typically have a combination of an SSD and a 4-6TB drive for data storage. I have three of the 10TB Seagate heliums and you don't have to be on the enterprise to use them. There are plenty of SAS controllers or you can get the SATA versions. I suspect that the...

    You must be rather healthy. I'd probably be dead by now without medical treatments. In the best case I'd be in poor shape, with low quality of life and limited ability to function independently. Being over 50 you should be having checkups every year or two. Don't wait until a small, treatable...

    I have the teeth cleaned 3-4 times a year. Antibiotics are not OTCs in the US. You may still need a root canal even if the x-rays don't show anything. It happened to me.

    LED flashlights

    I received additional TIP lights, the newer ones that do not discharge in lockup mode. There is range of LED color bins used for the standard TIP with XP-G2. I found one that I like (blue with enough red, not too green) which will live in a pant sub-pocket. The others will be nice stocking...

    It depends on the situation, but in the US and EU many types of sensitive data must be secured per regulations, not to mention business contracts. Of course in the real world systems may be hacked or breached in rare circumstances, but there better have been a substantial effort to ensure due...

    dSLR thread

    There is rumored to be another (4th gen.) Canon 70-200/2.8 coming as well. I just find the weight of an f/2.8 to be excessive along with other gear such as a 100-400 or similar, but I'm not much of a wide aperture user. They should update the 70-200/4 IS. Although it is a fine lens...

    If you are a hard chewer, clencher or grinder maybe the synthetics are not the best for the molars. Couldn't you get an emergency root canal today? I hope the tooth can be saved.

    1. Sure, but one could say that about any lens. ;) Macro lighting can be difficult and should be mastered as well. At some point multiple lights and modifiers will be needed. 3. You should be using a gimbal of some sort. What are you using, a cheap 3-way or ball head?

    dSLR thread

    I find a 105 or 100 too short for critters. It's often good in the studio or for copy work, but an 85 or 90 T/S lens focuses close enough for semi-macro work and has the major advantage of tilt. The 200-500 is not all that large, especially since it retracts. I still wish that lens were...

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    My laptops are now 4 years old, so in a few more years they will be done. I don't plan to ever buy a laptop again after that. CFexpress will change the storage landscape around 2018 and we will see what the options are then.

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    Not really. The whole point of the little 3lb. laptop is to download the RAW files from memory cards to three targets simultaneously and do a bit of viewing and processing. The laptop currently contains a 2TB 850 Pro and a 2TB HDD. I actually have two of the same laptops at different...

    There are a number of decent polarizing filters. The main differences are in the glass and mechanical designs. Obviously the glass should be extremely flat and well-coated. Multicoated doesn't mean much on cheap filters, but even some of the mid-grade filters have limited coating on one side...

    In recent years I've a had too many problems with B+W polarizers becoming too stiff for use so I don't buy them anymore. Mostly I use the Marumi Exus polarizing filters lately, though they are more expensive. Also look at Breakthrough Photography polarizers. They specialize in filters that...

    I don't know why you have a problem with the NX-D. You can try Capture One or DXO. Typically the NEF file is not changed, only the metadata or recipe for a certain software to process the files. Adobe and current Nikon software use separate files containing the metadata. If output is not in...
