I could change my moniker to "Old-N-Growing-Wiser" but that would be a lie. My mind is weakening... not strengthening. The truth is think I don't connect very well with the world today. I'm a...

I don't set up meters for ZS. It's been decades but back then I just did the math in my head and made notes. At that time there were no meters dedicated to ZS use. Frankly, I found the former...

Okay... maybe you're right... but why accept the lies of those who claim "Look at me... Look at me??" Look at the images I took with this "Rare SF lens" when it's a LIE!!?? If it's a PS image then...

Brian... huh???

Brian... Really? The truth is hard to face?

FWIW... I respect your opinion... and Frank's.

Frank... It's much the same for all of us... not wanting to put our feet in our own mouths. What you may not realize is just how many of our very "most respected" members are keeping their mouths...

Right, Frank/Corran, but... you both know better... don't you?

It's not so much that you don't want to "call others out" on their lies, right? It's mostly that you don't want others to learn...

Corran... You may be right. I didn't want to hurt anyone by addressing them directly by their moniker. It's not that I'm afraid to... just that I didn't want to embarrass them in open forum. I did,...

Corran... No, I never stated that. What part of my mention of "fakery" did I not make clear? Hell, I can fake some things pretty darned well but I'm not going to pass them off as "real" as some folks...

Corran... Thank you for your input. Can you honestly state that one or two folks haven't been faking "classic lenses" in their use and it has, at times, been insultingly obvious? REALLY?? One or two...

It seems that I've made quite an ass of myself. I'm getting better at that as time goes by.

Still... isn't it apparent that one or two folks are passing off Photoshop-ed images as being taken by...

Thank you, Joseph. I have a L-778 for spot metering and a SBC for low light and incident metering. I was hoping the spot attachment for the SBC would work well. Have you tested the Gossen 7.5/15...

I think we all just want the best/most we can afford to buy. Sometimes we just need to learn the limitations of what's available... and what's affordable. :)

There is no "extreme"... only "necessary" and "creative". Extreme might be 360 degrees of non-distorted lens coverage which does not exist other than in "Nero's world".

Okay... it's getting really deep in here. I can't hold my tongue much longer...

Has anyone used the 1/5/10 degree Multibeam attachment for the Gossen SBC? Regarding ONLY sensitivity and accuracy: How does this combination compare with a "dedicated" spot meter like a Sekonic...

Am I seeing some Photoshop-ing going on here (a few images earlier)? ;)

Oh... ohh... ohhhhhh----myyyy----gaaawwwd!! BIG F-ing belly laugh!!!!! :D :D :D

Mark... Never keep a lady waiting... They don't wait... ;)

I took your advice, Leigh. I'm better now. :)

Thinkin' Tink, Tink, Tinker, Tikerbell, Tink Tink Tink Tink.....

Well... it HAS been awhile since we've seen Tink do her thing... ya' know? Getting a little FRUSTRATED BY NOW!!... ya' know???

Finish yer damm cabinets and get back to work supplying us with Tink...

Am I seeing some Photoshop-ing going on... here and there? ;)

Years ago a co-worker tried to convince me about a software product he found that could "interpolate" digital data that was never there. He claimed the thing could understand and "restore" the image...

I tried a stretcher thingy once. It didn't work. :(

I have a sneaking suspicion that Tink's pent-up frustrations are going to reveal something very interesting this time. I hope Mark doesn't over-exert himself in the imaging process.

LOL!! Okay, she sounds like a nice old lady. Hopefully she can easily afford to be generous and, if so, I hope she's quite generous to you.:)

I'm a stupid man and the older I get the more this is apparent to me. I am really really dumb. I'd go over there and tell the old lady what all that stuff is really worth. I might offer to sell some...

Joel... Wow... I'm speechless...

Alan... it WAS funny. Some of us are just messing with you. ;)

Negative is bigger than positive?

While I agree with the post above in a purely analog process, since my process will be hybrid, there are other ways to deal with DOF issues.

What's bigger?

My query was directed at... eddie... ;)

Who, in their right mind, would crop a nice set of young perky breasts? Are you going insane or just getting old?!? I agree with others that she needs to improve her posture. But her breasts are...

^^^ Damned Norsmen!!!

It's my understanding that there were no red-heads in Ireland until the Norsmen came. I guess my great-great-great-great-great grandmother liked those friggin' big...

The benefits of wet mounting? Less friction.:rolleyes:

It may be wasteful but I had had my reasons to buy a separate lens set for the smaller camera. When I can't carry the weight/bulk of the larger camera with larger lenses and several DDS then I'll...

Don't misunderstand what I meant. If after I told the seller what I think it's worth they still just wanted to dump it for cheap then I'd definitely take it.:D

lenser... Wow, that guy have been really desperate to get that stuff out of his way. I deeply respect your honesty with him.
