Rotten fruit.

Would probably sell well thru stock.

Interesting bokeh in that last one. What lens was that?

The ol' faithful Nikkor AF 80-200/2.8 D wide open @ 170mm.

Force India has a curry-powered KERS.

Did they solve the elephant problem yet?

No streams, you gotta let me in what's going on.

Ok, final decide.

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS
Canon ET-60
Hoya HD 58mm Protector

Not sure if serious... lens protectors?

I dislike laptops with passion. The late '07 Macbook Pro has been grinding my nuts from the start with strange graphics artifacts and corruption, battery dying after a year and various performance crawls.

The netbooks are worthless, Airs and Adamos are too slow and most of the PC laptops are built like crap. Lose-lose situation so far.

Quote from Tomba(FIN) :

Ok, I'm ordering Sigma's 18-200mm OS.. If you have anything bad to say from it, please comment in 5mins if you're there!

Uh oh no not buying it... I need a lens under or a bit over 400euros, good one.. HELP!

Help?

By far the best bang for buck pro-tele. Approved by Spanky.

Don't get me wrong, its a good film, but the plot holes are gaping.

Not telling everything is not the same as gaping.

Yes, it's convenient that one of the tag lines is 'There's a lot of secrets in District 9' but come on, we can't solve how two sky scrapes came tumbling down like a deck of cards and you want movies to be idiot proof?

The light was terrible and I might have been a bit drunk.

Had a D700 for about a year now. Such a wonderful piece of gear. Can't honestly see myself wanting an upgrade in many years to come unless I get a good deal for a used D3.

The D80 remains as a backup body for paying gigs.



(Just a quick preview from the night. I'll probably pull the attachment down when I have time to sit in front of LR2 to tweak the images for a while.)

Shot a three band gig tonight. Exposures were around, dunno, 1/60, f2.8, ISO12800 - and the files are clean as a whistle. Is fun making Canon shooters pack their stuff early.

EDIT: No girl bands though why I even bothered.

Another setup from a band promo shot earlier this year. My memory is shot and tried skimming through the thread. Sorry for fail @ original content if this was a repost. :faint:

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Nice pics as always, Mikko. Great use of light.

Next up in M42 Week is the Jupiter-9 85mm f/2. Lotta people love this lens for its crazy bokeh and pleasing soft portrait look when used wide open. It's also super sharp stopped down. An impressive and impressively built bit of kit, unfortunately a bit wobbly mounted on my K20D, but still plenty usable.

Some shots (on a horribly dreary day, hence the prevalence of B&W conversions):

Me likey likey likey!

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

I use LR2.2, yeah. The original was somewhat overexposed due to the way the K20D handles metering for non-"A" lenses, and like I said, the lens is not multicoated and is very prone to flare. It took some punching up to make it look good, but the detail is there to be brought out.

edit: when you say checked the original, you mean the full size?

No, I sneaked into your bedroom, opened your 'puter and checked what you did in LR.

Also, clean your room. It's filthy after all that fapping to the epic 1000mm beast.
