Re: OT: one more view of JUpiter and friends

I can't see the photo either, Ann. The Nikon B700 Superzoom has an equivalent focal length of 24-1440mm, in 35mm FF terms. A very long lens indeed! (The Sigma 600mm lens that made my conjunction image on the Panasonic GX9 Micro-FourThirds camera is equivalent to a 1200mm lens in 35mm FF

Carbon. In the testing they did during the course of development, the carbon design proved to be both more stable and faster damping with small induced vibrations. The difference in weight is about 3/4 lb. For the $250, both the improved stability and the weight savings seemed worth it. G

Re: PESO 2020 - quarter Moon - GDG

The Hasselblad V-system Zeiss lenses are shockingly accurate on focus calibration and provide amazing quality. Even the more modest performers are extremely good performers, which is one of the reasons why I've been a little baffled when I hear some folks complaining that "...they're just not

PESO 2020 - quarter Moon - GDG

I decided that yesterday was a "walk and shoot" day with the Hasselblad 500CM. So I fitted the ancient Sonnar 150mm f/4 and the CFVII 50c digital back, stuffed my PD Travel Tripod into a shoulder bag and put a neck strap on the camera, and headed out for a hour and a half walk around the

That's the aluminium or carbon version? Sounds like the carbon looking at the price tag of the arca. On Tue, 22 Dec 2020, 20:13 Godfrey DiGiorgi, wrote: > The Hasselblad V-system Zeiss lenses are shockingly accurate on focus > calibration and provide amazing quality. Even the more modest

Re: PESO 2020 - quarter Moon - GDG

That's impressive. And just set the lens to infinity? None of my pentax lenses is set at infinity at infinity. Must be the tripod. I had my eye on a PD tripod for a very long time, the price tag is my only drawback. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net

I find it interesting that the square crop makes this a very compelling image for me. It would make a great album cover (jazz or ambient, I figure). On Tue, Dec 22, 2020 at 10:37 AM Toine wrote: > > A Treerise (and not a Moonrise): > > https://www.repiuk.nl/albums/new/#=1=006-011-img4293 > > I

The conjunction of planets Jupiter and Saturn was clearly visible in the sky at 6:51pm when I got up to the roof of my building. I made this first photo at 6:55 ... and just after I did so, the air filled with mist and cloud and the view was lost. Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction ::
