Ahh, I see. I think those 30x30 slide mounts are the things in my 35mm mounts. Someone appears to have taped something in, and from what you’re saying it’s probably those thing.

Slow...

Were there slide projectors for this film?

I have 35mm projectors and old family 110 slides mounted in 35mm slide mounts, , but the slides get projected very small of course.

@doctordigi,

I have Pentax film cameras I use, and canon film bodies of same era, as well as canon DSLRS.

I find both the canon and Pentax ergonomics very good. I would put canon and Pentax in...

“The mirror (which has been shielding the film from light until now) lifts and the shutter/aperture then opens until it reaches the programmed aperture, at which point is starts to close...

Computational photography is one thing, but this is becoming too much fakery.

Generally yes.

If you need IS you need it. I didn’t so really loved the 400 f5.6. Very sleek lens.

You can certainly use a 400 at 1/250 without IS and you’ll get a lot of acceptable results, but IS will result in more sharp images. i shoot mostly at 1/1000 and above (to freeze action) and I find ...

I’ve owned all these lenses. The sigma is ok. I preferred the canon 400. Nicer images and better autofocus.  If you’re only using at 400 go the canon.

Same here. I know a lot more about video than I did before I watched!

A professional thoroughbred camera or an imaging gadget, hmm, what would I choose…

Yeah a 50 is an important lens. When I started I thought 50mm was boring, but now it’s my favorite

Yeah if you want to test a lens shoot slow fresh film.

Yeah, mature full frame DSLRs are now pretty cheap.

A canon 5D mark 2 or 3 can be had for less than a canon EOS 1v or EOS 3. If you just want to shoot then film doesn’t make a whole lot of...

These photos suck. There's not even an overall view of most of these cameras. It's all the photographer showing off. And where's the EOS 1v, the ultimate flagship 35mm camera, where the EOS 1 line...

zkz5, it's a *current* free market design. It won't be current forever, and if it is enforced by bureacratic legislation then that will hamper innovation towards the next superior product. Can you...

@starbase

Measurement systems don’t go obsolete the way plugs do. The reason the planned economies eventually fell so far behind was largely because this sort of committee oversight of products...

Great idea, but it doesn’t go far enough. We really need a central committee to oversee all product design, to ensure a harmonious product ecosystem, both for the people, and the environment. What...

@Lescrane,

Yes it’s very strange to compare it to the illegal dumping of mercury and arsenic. It shows the way some people view free enterprise. As a reckless toxic illegal venture.

As annoying as apples prioprietary methods are, who on earth do these bureaucrats think they are that they get to mandate product design? This is 2021, not a 1970s soviet planning office.
