Do all the 70-200 mugs have the sticker, and is yours slightly crooked, or is that just the angle playing a trick on me. e: It looks like, after doing a little googling, a lot of the chinese knock off ones have a sticker focus window, which is what I want to avoid.

quick game of identify the camera: Someone posted this on CL saying it's kodak and knows nothing else. Selling it for $30. Is it a Brownie? What film would it shoot?

Looks like a Vest Pocket Hawk-eye Autographic. If so, it would take 127 roll film.

That's what I was worried about - I'm not going to want to respool or shave down 120 spools. Forget it.

It's time for another round of What Would You Take? I'm going to spend a few days hiking around around Huashan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Hua. What gear would you take? I have available: 5d2 450d/Xsi Tamron 18-270 Sigma 10-20 Canon 35/2 Canon 50/1.8 Canon 135/2 tripod Major considerations are weight, bulk, and obviously taking pictures.

For real.: I would take everything and stuff it in my KATA HB-207 pack and have room to spare. Also the walking stick.

Pablo Bluth posted:goons: I enjoyed it. Pretty much a textbook example of how experiences like those change you over time. You can really see the progression (good and bad) and toll seeing war up close took on him emotionally. If you liked War Photographer this would be right up your alley although it's more about the person than his photographs and how he worked for them.

squidflakes posted:Looks like a Vest Pocket Hawk-eye Autographic. If so, it would take 127 roll film. It's a Jiffy II, takes 620. It's definitely not worth the $30. With only a doublet lens, two focus positions, and one shutter speed it barely competes with other $15-$25 folders.

torgeaux posted:You could not talk me out of taking the 5dii, weight or not weight. I'd take it, the 35 and the 135, and tripod. I'd probably do this, but consider swapping the tripod for the 10-20. I don't know about your shooting style, but I bet I'd have a lot of fun going super wide in a situation like that.

# ? May 28, 2010 15:18 |

It'd be more logical to take the 50 instead of the 35.
|
# ? May 28, 2010 15:21 |

I think I'd rather go 5d2 and 35 and a walking stick. Maybe throw the nifty fifty in your pocket. The 10-20 seems nice, but it could be too specialized. It'd be great with the XSi for a great wide shot to begin with, but it can be too wide for lots of shots. Do you have a bag like a lowepro slingshot? Even the Slingshot 100 is big enough for the 5d2, 35, 50 and 135 and would be highly versatile. That's what I would do with that gear setup. Also the slingshot can be strapped down tight enough for sports like hiking or downhill skiing*. *

Nondo posted:Saw these on Flickr. The guy was shooting some dog surfing event. I hate these OEM straps on pro-bodies with heavy zooms/primes. They really dig into your neck, and IMO there's no good reason to use one unless you want to broadcast your brand to the world. With heavy lenses they are really terrible. See how the strap in the first one is curling because it's at an angle? That is a pressure point of pain right there.

Either that or he really does have too much money to blow. edit: surely there wasn't a whole lot of photo competition for a dog surfing contest, I wonder if his work is up somewhere. I'd love to see what he actually photographed and with what body. edit2: wow, okay apparently dog surfing is quite a bit more popular than I expected. I'd still like to see his work though.

Nondo posted:Saw these on Flickr. The guy was shooting some dog surfing event. I'm sorry but that is just the type of person who pisses me off. There is no need to have that much gear strapped around your neck, especially not for a "dog surfing event." The guy who I met with today to buy a new body brought his bag of gear and had at least seven or eight L series lenses and not just a 1D Mark IV, but also TWO 5d mk2's. What type of photography does he do you may ask? Hobbyist bird photographer. I just don't get it.

No one should ever want a vest like that. Who wears all khaki clothing like that anyways? No one should ever wear all khaki like that either. Maybe if you're going on a safari.

I know a guy that just bought a 1DMkIV, an upgrade from a 1DMkIII. To say that his photography is middle-of-the-road would be generous.
