At the risk of having this thread suffer the same fate,  I suggest 2.8 is the number you seek.

Why 'stop' @2.8.   That's not fair '2' those more 'open-minded' or those who have had 1.2 many cocktails. 

Certainly your DOF gets narrow as you approach 1 . . . then everything goes fuzzy as you're finally able to take it all in, and then darkness as the shutter comes down.

Oh I do like this metaphor. Better than the chicken even, though that did result in me giggling audibly in the office.

Regardless of what they tell you, this will NOT speed up your chickens.

There's an inherent bus issue with most chickens.

I disagree.  When I inserted this into a chicken's "bus" it speed up quite a bit faster... you might even call it overdrive mode.

Did make considerable much more noise though

There's something you're not sharing. You have to be liquid cooling your chicken otherwise it'd cook in under 10 minutes (you can do this with a turducken, but it's overkill and costs a fortune).

And don't give me that "I'm using the stock heat sink on the chicken" crap, we know better.

Let's put this in context:
Above and beyond the 'homes' for your more expensive things, how many bags do you own neuro

Not that many.  Really.

Well Played.

(yes I will sell unused bags)

Lie to yourself all you want, just not to us.

You ain't sellin nutthin None of us do.  Once you're a member, always a member.

Not true.  I sold a Lowepro Primus AW bag that I was no longer using.  Of course, that might have had something to do with the fact that it was nearly impossible to get the 7D in/out of the quick-access side opening (the main flap was fine), even without the grip on the body...and now I can't remove the grip from my current body at all.

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon Announcements on April 23, 2013? [CR2]

Dilbert, I'm genuinely interested. For somebody who obviously dislikes Canon and all it stands for, why are you still posting here? So you can educate newcomers to come towards the light (eg, Nikon) before they settle for any of Canon's rubbish?

It's been a little sad to watch the evolutionary descent from human to troll.

Well you can blame Canon for that.

I blame other drivers for my aggressiveness.  Doesn't mean it's actually them.

Pricewatch Deals / Re: Canon EOS 6D Body $1629 via eBay

« on: April 07, 2013, 08:33:03 AM »

All we're missing now is the guy that says: "see? the price is going down, I told you the 6D was crap"

Some people will complain about a free sammich.

As long as the 5Dmk3 doesn't start having deals again, my household will be peaceful.  A guy can only take so much temptation

Third Party Manufacturers / Re: Introducing the MōVI Stabilizer

It is $7500 because of the tax to pay for our welfare economy with over-regulation.

Sigh...you just had to throw that in there? 

I was thinking the same thing . . . I can't seem to escape this crap on ANY forum.  Sad.

I cringe any time China or High Price is mentioned; I was napping during most of Economics and History and I've got a better understanding than a lot of these people.

But however will we get sea-sick at the next bourne movie?

 

So, the big deal is the size right? From what I'm getting, it's not, like, going to replace cranes or actual stabilized mounts when they can be used (most of the time).

Is this for the indie-film crowd? 

Seems like it might be nice for shooting stills from a vehicle/boat.

Really? We're all 12 years old now? *sigh*

Okay, just because it's a joke, doesn't mean we can slack off people:
I'm switching to Nikon.

Talk is cheap, DO IT

Okay, good, we have that now.

Ah, finally we know what the 7D Mark II will be like

And this, okay, thread's got everything a camera rumor thread needs . . . moving along.

EOS Bodies / Re: Expect a REALLY Big announcement on Monday

« on: March 31, 2013, 08:14:37 AM »

My sources tell me that on Monday we will see lots of incredible announcements - Canon buying Hassy or will it be Leice.  Perhaps a MF Canon.  Nikon D800 with a Canon name on it.

What are you expecting on Monday, the first of April?

Useful post.  Thanks for reminding me that was coming up.

Just like New Years is "amateur drinking night", April 1 is "amateur joke day" -- rarely does anything funny arise.  It's bad when the idiot Media gets trolled and re-reports (like when they do it for the Onion).   It's worse when Wall Street takes an "announcement" and farks with a stock's price based on it.

Maybe I'll take the day off.

I pay $7.60 per year per $1K of covered gear.  As with all insurance, rates will vary based on your location.

So you're paying $800 a year?
