Maybe this tape is enough for Merc. :D

It may be a second or third family, but most likely it's a different dude. He's not in IT at all?

The expired bars are just awful.

What's a Live account? Do 8 windows and 10 require a password? I don't want a password at home.

I never sell anything anymore. It just piles up and the ancestors will may have to deal with them after I'm gone. The 400/5.6 is over 20 years old and does not contain any fluorite elements. It was one of the first unleaded Canon tele lens designs produced and therefore is allowed to continue...

Can we cut out the left wing and right wing stuff to another thread?

The usage is travel so weight is an issue.

I have a late version 400/5.6 moldering away in the closet somewhere. I used it a couple times in 2007, but that's all. It has been a favorite handheld lens of wildlife photographers for a couple of decades due to the light weight, fast AF and good IQ. The 400/5.6 is rather pointless now IMO...

Yeah. I've been the victim of exploding caps on multiple occasions. Once on the head and once the ceilings. There are not many fine PS options other than bulky or heavy stuff or do it yourself. Is there an online source for decent wall warts that you use?

BH works for most people if you know what you want.

I have a device that uses one of the ubiquitous Chinese wall warts. Unfortunately it becomes quite hot in use in the US, so you can imagine I'm a bit concerned how it will perform in the desert with no A/C and at 240V. :( Are such cheap supplies more likely to fail at 240V than 120V? On the...

The angle of view is approximately equivalent to a 1280mm lens on FX, but that's not the same thing, and often not a good thing. With an FX lens you are throwing out ~56% of the image by using a DX sensor or 61% by using Canon EF-S.

It's still 800 mm regardless of the sensor size.

I was about to write normal, but I knew that would not fly. :D In hindsight, I should have asked when it would be available to consumers. According to the Amazon a store has it listed for May 3, 2015.

I wonder when the 750 can be purchased by ordinary people. I hope it is not 6 months or more.

You mean with the OS? I don't think there is a true RAID with the separate cards.

It's better on FF and without a TC. :) I will say that the 100-400 II is the first f/5.6 zoom I've used that produces acceptable IQ with a 1.4x. It's not acceptable for me with a 2x. I told you the IS was good/ [url]...

It's slow again here. Anybody else notice?

I suppose some people do that with the Thunderbowls or internal RIAD, but it is useful for me to have a couple TB of fast storage for a work in progress. Even 1TB is not enough for a large project. Once the work is substantially finished, then it can be moved to normal hard drives. I haven't...

I might buy one too. 1.2TB is not that much space though.

Seems like a spammer to me...

It's slower than the fastest, but still faster than many other USB 3.0 flash drives.

Yikes. I had no idea.

I sure hope so! If true, maniacs like that should not be on the public roads.

Just the name Spartan sounds awful, like it is bare bones.

Good. I'm sure you can put it to some use.

I thought that was a computer monitor. Of course 50" is nothing special for a TV, which is designed to be viewed by several humans simultaneously.

I was hoping for less than 1$/GB. Perhaps not. :(

Yes, and a lot of other things. Splendid idea!

SR response was horrible over the past few days. There were timeouts and very slow response. I can't remember the times, but it was not just a single short period. I figured there was something occurring on the server because the Google was normal.

So basically if the city wants they can put up signs that Chinese cannot buy anything due to Buddhism? Maybe the Americans can introduce an Apartheid system. :(

Or get new glasses?

Have we finally reached practical 2TB SDDS or will they be too expensive for laptops?

He doesn't seem very CA to me either.

Are there any of the all-in-one color lasers that print on large paper and don't cost an arm and a leg? From a quick look, they are all designed for 8.5" paper or some giant office machine that is around $4000. The other options are inkjets that I suppose take forever to print and suck...

The modem is on a pole? What is the noise that you are trying to avoid? Isn't that an issue for the utility to correct?

I'm sure you can, but ordinary people have no clue.

I'm sure everyone will be reviewing everything on every network there is. It's only a matter of time.

I think he means the ST5000DM000, which is just a consumer 5900 RPM drive.

I had a 7D II. It was really disappointing for a 2014 body and mediocre in all but build quality and FPS. Make sure you thoroughly test the AF. It's fast, but not repeatable enough for serious use. Some people have reported improved results after a trip or two to Canon service. They really...

I'm not sure what's normal, but $800 seems cheap enough to me.

I don't know why you insist on putting cheesy UV filters in front of the lens. Are they even fully multicoated? Digital sensors are much more sensitive to reflections than film ever was and there are built in UV/IR filters. You are not using Ektachrome any more.

WTF is wrong with the pilots these days? First it was the Malaysian clusterf*ck then the GermansWing crushing in the Alps. :tdown:

I pulled some of the 5TB drives from the enclosures. According to the HDTune they are 5900RPM. The large files (4GB) sustained writes are fine, though the small and medium-sized files are not so good. It slows down near the end of the drive in any case, but that may be the low RPM.

I suppose it has some useful info, but only to brands that pay? In laptops there is no Fujitsu or Sager for example.

I was busy ordering a few 5Ds/R bodies :D If you shoot RAW+jpg then the buffer will take a hit, so you'd better use a decent card then. Normally I suggest a good Hoya multicoated polarizer or perhaps a Marumi. The B+W Kaesemann nano coated are good but expensive.

The D600 is fairly old. I bought a D7100 a while ago and it definitely benefits from faster cards (at least 60 MB/sec. writes). I don't know about the D610, but it looks like you are looking at the parameters. Buy a card or two and see how they work for you. The 7D II uses UDMA 7 CF cards...

If free is a download, then yes. The real question is whether I can upgrade from Win 7 Pro x64 OEM disc to 10. Will that be possible? It was not possible to upgrade from XP to 7, which is one reason I avoided it so long. :(

When will the Windows 10 discs be out for sale?

$75 for 64GB is not exactly a major expense unless you need to buy a large number. :lol: That's about $0.035 per 24MP RAW image. 15-20 years ago film was 10x the price and of course single use. It wasn't all that long ago when a 2GB CF card was $600. I typically use the 32GB cards in similar...
