Much better than the usual steroidal, lumpen mess. Perfect focus on the badge, with (coincidentally?) nice, sharp, tyre treads. Smooth, uncluttered background. We have come to expect nothing less... > On 29/11/2023 14:28 GMT paul stenquist wrote: > > > Another pic from last week’s shoot o

Re: PESO Another Cobra Pic

Nice pic! A high school friend in the mid-1960s was crazy about Cobras, and built several plastic models of them that he displayed in his room. I don’t know if he ever got to drive one, or even be a passenger, though. Rick > On Nov 29, 2023, at 9:28 AM, paul stenquist wrote: > > Another pic f

Re: The unending quest

Divide and conquer. You’re talking about three different situations, storage, transport and shooting. For storage I divide everything by system: Pentax, Leica and MFT, and generic accessories. Each gets its own case; I use a Pelican hard case and two Vanguard soft cases with dividers, and a va

Re: The unending quest

As far as camera bags go, for the last several decades I've stuck with a couple of brand names - Lowepro & Pelican. When I was carrying a couple of camera bodies (film or digital) and a reasonable selection of lenses (28-200 or so on film, 16-250 on the APS-C digitals) together with TCs, flashes

Well, FWIW, I'm still using the Lowepro Mini Trekker AW. I've used it since the days I mostly carried only 3 lenses - Tokina 28-70 f/2.8; Tokina 80-200 f/2.8 and Sigma 300 f/2.8 plus one body (K10D or K20D) with the other carried on my sling with FA-50 f/1.4 mounted ... or alternatively with

It will be if the turkey finishes cooking on time. Going well SO FAR! 😏 I hope all the rest of y'all have a good turkey day. 56°F outside (about 13°C), but it's sunny, so if the kitchen gets a little too warm all I gotta' do is open the back door & let a little cooler air in. Got family com
