Why yes I did. I'll post the good ones from that tonight.

I got a new 1.8 prime today. Unfortunately it sucks for holding coffee.

Which one, the 28? 50?

The 50. This is one just messing around with it.

I always have my hood on unless I have the polarizer on. The only reason is that I can not adjust the polarizer with the hood on. Polarizers kick |expletive|!

Chris, have you seen a polarizer for my buzzsaw? One where I can keep it at the widest?

Polarizer filters definitely kick, but not for full time duty. I think you want to pick and choose the times you use the polarizer. If you want a full or most of the time filter, go with a good UV. It won't darken your shots like the polarizer could, which would be important for low light and indoors shots.

Where does one go for renting a lens? I'm tentatively planning to go down to Scottsbluff and would like to rent a wide angle for the trip if it works out.

If anyone is looking for a Canon EF 50mm F/1.4 lens there is one on Craiglist today and if the story is correct it might be a good deal. New on Amazon for about 360 this guy is asking 280 and it is almost new. I have this lens and it is not bad.

Also, check out http://www.rentglass.com

I rented a Canon 100-400 from them, and they were very helpful, and very fair. I would rent from them again, but their stock is sometimes hard to predict.

TechnicalDisaster · Post by **TechnicalDisaster** » Tue Sep 28, 2010 8:22 am

I somehow missed the Nikon D7000 a couple weeks ago.
http://www.dpreview.com/previews/nikond7000/

Dang. Canon got owned this round. I was waiting to see what was going to come out from both camps in the semi-pro range at Photokina this year. Canon announced the underwhelming 60D as a downgrade in the XXD line to segregate the 7D into a higher category. I think Canon took a step backward to prop up old technology and their semi-pro line is stagnating.

The D7000 does semi-pro right. It's a stellar upgrade from the D90 in every way. I was close to buying the D90 when it was first announced, but Canon came back with an entry level DSLR that did video a hair better with a larger sensor and I stayed with the brand I knew. Now I will patiently wait for some production reviews of the D7000 and hold off buying my ultra wide angle lens until I know which brand I'm going with.

Yeah the D7000 looks nice. Would be a large (on paper) upgrade over my D300. I'm still going full frame though, as soon as Nikon gets off their butt and does the D700 successor. Full frame, 12-24MP, 1080HD vid, weather sealed, metal body, 3k or less, sold.

Got this Medium format Rolleicord last night. Girlfriend's Parent's friend gave it to me. I think it would be fun to pick up a roll of 120 some day and try it out! I haven't shot with one since college!

I was given a similar hand-me-down Yashica D a few years back. I haven't really used it that much, but when I do I seem to be very good at double exposures.

Example here:

Also I really can't get used to the left-to-right backwards image in the viewfinder.

Next on my do-it list for that camera will be shooting some slide film and cross-processing it as color negative. I've actually seen some very impressive work done that way.

First, I know I woke up an old thread

Though it would be worth noting that Canon has discontinued the Canon 5D Mark IV, a long-life, great camera. I know a number of us on here and shot with the 5D series. The original 5D was introduced in 2005

I had two, the 5d Mk1 and the 5D Mk3, and I rented the Mk4 for a week.

That said, I love my R5 so much, I hardly touch either of the 5D cameras these days.

almighty_tuna · Post by **almighty_tuna** » Fri Mar 13, 2026 10:57 am

Wow, there's an 11yr revival! The 5D was my first full frame dslr, I remember it fondly.

I had a 5D III too and loved it. Still have it. Like you since getting my R5 it doesn't get much use

TechnicalDisaster · Post by **TechnicalDisaster** » Mon Jun 15, 2026 8:36 pm

The 5D was also my first full frame camera. Paired mine with the 24-74 F4L and it was such a great combo.

TechnicalDisaster · Post by **TechnicalDisaster** » Tue Jun 16, 2026 4:38 pm

Man, reading back through some of my old posts from 19 years ago is so embarrassing and cringe. I clearly loved acquiring cameras more than I loved using them. I've caught the bug to go out and start shooting urban landscapes again. I currently shoot a Sony A7IV with a smattering of Sony and Sigma lenses. I've also been tinkering with a new drone, but I haven't got out with it as much as I like.

I should be back out and about in a few weeks to some urban exploring. It's been too long.
