Yeah, folks here would spend a million (for "perfect camera") and then say it's too heavy.:-D

Most of the previous decade or so I traveled with only one camera, whether D700 or D610.  Last 5yrs or so I use two cameras mostly to have a 24-120 with me (up front) and the long zoom on another ...

Yes, I've heard about busted window from a vehicle (Oakland), while the car was actually on the highway and items were taken....I guess it's good to bolt the suite case to the vehicle even when ...

Don't think I can compare to other places, but in my mind Alaska is top notch.  I'm basing this on 6 trips from 2013....camping mostly.  As it has been indicated, the UOA in Fbanks has a great ...

Saw this....not sure it helps.  At least the price is like 1/4th what I had to fork out for my 5x7 replacement. https://www.ebay.com/itm/404743885563?itmmeta=01HS7ZZJPH62E4YS7W4RHC3Q9N&hash=item5e3 ...

Apparently you didn't read my post.

Irrespective of gear "a good photo tends to stand on its own two feet" (sort of speak) and it does not require special matting, etc., etc.  My two centavos.

It seems like all ball and chain.  Why not get Hassy w/couple of lenses and you are set ? There are still lots of 120 film for sale from Adox to Ilford and plenty slower options + even IR > one ...

I'm with you on this.  The stand I made was from left over pieces of plywood (decent quality) and some pieces of wood.  Part of the design was to allow for vertical tweak at appx 1" at either ...

Well, I use a cell phone but not for photos ....this thing is so cruddy, that I can't even text on it.  Expecting to update the phone next week, but will still use a separate camera for photos - ...

I’m sure some do, but the “great majority”? Likely using cell/smartphone.  But, that's not me.

My Feisol 3371 fits in the duffel bag, it's light (CF), it was bit expensive, but it lasted 8yrs so far...through sea/ocean water, mud, etc.  Also, like the factor that it has no mid section to ...

My answer was to OP, no.  Why are you trying to tell me what to do ?

Not everything one shoots is worth printing . *Disclaimer....expecting to obtain GFX 50II

It sounds like the echos of 2009-2010 here.  Sooo, someone is fibbing, eh ?

That's a surprise.  Will we see some of the Nikkors in PL mount ?  Or maybe they would crank out the unicorn again...the 300/2 lens ?  Yeah, I can dream....

Without realizing I may have done the rational thing and traveled/explored during my years of holding a job.  Yes, "rational" could be subjective.  Anyhoo, got to the point that I have no "bucket" ...

Bill, seeing those switchbacks make my day....not sure I recall those.  But, do enjoy your retirement.  Any major travels/explores on the horizon ?  You don't sound like you want to spend the time ...
