I forgot about the first part. I'm not familiar with that company, though the leader looks rather young for my taste. They probably have lower overhead and are trying to start up. An important advantage of Lensrentals is that they have sophisticated equipment for testing lenses and an...

It's not foreign espionage.

Most people have to work an extra day.

The Russians may have Korean women spying in Korea, but in North America? It makes no sense. Anyway, that's not my sector.

All you should need is a CC with enough credit. I'm not sure if they place a hold for the full value of the product, but check the website. I recall they confirm the account the first time, but it was a simple process. They also offer to sell most products at reduced prices after the rental.

Why would you use a battery grip for a 14-24? Anyway the Canon 11-24 is newt king of the UW lenses, though that comes at a price.

The 17-40 is not very good on most FX cameras and I'd expect the corners to be very weak towards the wide end at higher resolution. The 24/1.4 II is very good, but the 24/1.4 is not as good. Maybe it's sufficient stopped down. I find the 100-400 II to be very good on the 5DsR. It's my...

Monday is leap day. :(

The Russians have Korean spies?

Red what, D5300?

The 1DX series is a workhorse body for capturing good images under very difficult conditions and very good images under good conditions. Rumors are that Canon has finally improved the dark noise to an acceptable level with ADC. However, I suspect that a pedestrian D750 could produce better...

Another flood or something else?

I prefer lensrentals.com. Unfortunately the 1D series has become a very special purpose body lately. :( You should consider waiting for the 5D IV or 5Dx or whatever it would be called.

I'd give you a "like" if we had that feature. :) Meanwhile the D7200 is pretty good so far.

It's nice to see the crooks get their comeuppance once in a while. :)

But do you need secondary lithium battery packs outdoors? I'd rather go with lead for short-term UPS power and then have a generator for longer run times and reliability.

I only received the texted message. Apparently she is actually Canadian.

Will the State Farm pay if the home burns down? It doesn't seem like the best idea.

Can you do this with Adobe eSign (Echosign)? That resolved a ton of complaints from third parties about web-based approvals.

So it must be human error. :lol:

Are people so blind or something not to be able to see the cords? :( So I should cancel my 1DX II?

My shoe was recovered, but not in good conditions, whatever that means. Unbelievable!

I suppose I will buy another LG at some point if they are the only company still making phones with replaceable batteries. I don't want type C, just the regular socket. :( I have too many damn types of cords to carry around anyway (USB 2.0 mini, USB 2.0 micro, USB 3.0 micro, USB to 3.5mm, etc.)...

Something has gone wacko. :( This is the DSLR thread. How does that happen?

Does the new Samsung have a battery this time?

I did mean to reply with your quote. You mean the typo?

That actually looks a bit better to me, despite the NR. You have good enough equipment. Now it's time to work on technique. Mainly you should get closer and use a tripod for smaller subjects. Where possible, pull back a bit on the zoom.

I wish there were more dada to make clear conclusions about the failure patterns. Presumably they have more granular info.

Except that the exposure did not appear like that and also CCD readouts are done differently. Anyway it's been a 2nd backup for a while, but now with the D7200 it will be struck from the list.

IIRC Nikon users use the Fine Tune or something terminology. It's the adjustment to get the AF focus accurate. You should check and calibrate if necessary each camera/lens combination prior to field trials and usage. The theoretical MTF charts show substantial astigmatism at 500mm, but that...

LensAlign is a target for adjusting the AF offset (MFA, MFT, etc.) in the camera.

That DOF calculator is difficult to use since it has no adjustable CoC. I get zero DOF assuming a very sharp lens and a reasonable print size for fine details (22"). Many people would print larger with 24MP and a sharp lens.

Nor really. The MSRP was $999 and I probably paid that given that it was rather new at the time. The Canon 30D was $1200 by way of reference, though it was a bit higher grade body.

Did you not calibrate the MFT for the lens on that camera when you bought it? :( I use the original Lensalign or a startburst in the field.

You really should test it on a tripod. Don't you have a gimbal head of some sort?

Are you just manually entering IPTC/XMP info, keywords, etc.? I'd say Lightroom, Photo Mechanic, even BreezeBrowser can tag the images.

I'm not sure about that lens, but a good lens should be much better in the center unless the bee was moving erratically. That was on a so-so tripod, correct? Did you try with the VR off or in different modes? I used to shoot the bees with a 105/2.8 micro-Nikkor and get quite close. 8 ft. is...

I remember Aaron Burr. The rest sounds inappropriate.

It was very strange in that 2-3 images captured a few seconds apart would merge (with some artifacts) into one RAW file. It was not caused by a defective memory card or even one brand of card. Initially the phenomenon was only occasional, then it increased to unacceptable frequency. According...

Yes I meant the 80D, but I also bought a D80 back in 2006. It developed some funky electronics failure that resulted in multiple ghosted RAW images.

Screw it. I buy the D7200 and D80.

Maybe I'm dense not to understand most of the first sentence, but after 4PM many people start to get off from work.

There is a funky translation from the Google here.

The 80D will be out in time. I'm not sure if the sensor has any useful improvements.

It's not working on this device. :( I'll recheck Thursday US time.

What about 6TB?

If you can charge at work for free that would really help the practical range. :)

Dark humor works for me. I always thought that comics were for pimply-faced teenaged boys before they discovered girls. I suppose that is not the case nowadays. I was hoping for a standalone film that does not require a cult commitment. ;)

They are sending me to the frozen northern central states and I noticed some bullshit in the car rentals. There is a ridiculous daily rate for the optional satellite radio. :cursin: The fees from less than two weeks of rentals would pay for an entire year of service. How do they even control...
