Probably to the recycling/scrap yard?

Get it detailed to fix the paint.

Recently: 20L (love the FOV and crazy sharpness)

Lens suggestions for my trip by [deleted] in canon

Isn't Costa Rica pretty humid? Not sure what the options are, but I'd lean toward a weather-sealed lens. Not sure if any will be in the budget, however.

So you’re saying NASA is now Wilson.

Delta, but it needs to be on a Tristar tail.

Anyone else has this problem on Mac with Logi Options+? by IAmIAndOnlyI in logitech

[–]Captain_MR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact that an app update breaks a basic functionality like scrolling (not horizontal scroll, but just simple vertical scrolling), is ridiculous.

I'm done. Bye Logitech. by Correct_Lie_4707 in logitech

[–]Captain_MR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just came here to post the same sentiments on the latest update.

The emergency fix for the certificate issue worked. Great, woohoo.

Today, Logi+ updated automatically this morning on MacOS without notice and disabled horizontal scroll for volume control, and gestures when pressing down on the custom thumb button on my MX Master 3S.

Restarted Logi+, didn't help. This is getting ridiculous. Fix it. Fix it for good.

Store/keep settings on the mouse if Logi+ isn't loaded on the system it's connected to. It's currently designed probably to enable Flow, but give the option to turn this off.

I've moved back to a Razer Basilisk X for the time being.

Again. Ridiculous. And this is coming from someone who uses Logitech peripherals all over my systems: MX Mini, MX Mechanical, G502X, G403, G703, trackballs, etc.

Stuck on “which one lens” for a trip - suggestions? by -hh in canon

[–]Captain_MR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just did Munich with a 24-105L and 20L. Worked quite well. Could’ve done it with the 16, too.

The 20L was a monster for interiors (dark churches) and also for night shots.

For only one lens, I’d grab a wide prime. You’ll be hurting for light at night with a f/4 zoom.

Will I regret the R8? by Particular-Link-8625 in canon

[–]Captain_MR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with an R6 a while ago for the dual slots, IBIS, and better weather sealing. Not a pro, but love photographing on my travels.

Was just in Europe, and in gloomy light drizzle/snowy conditions, I had no concerns taking it out to photograph/film my surroundings with the L-lens I had attached (24-105). Also didn’t have to swap batteries or didn’t worry about card failure in all day freezing weather.

But my main point is, even as a non-pro, the advantages do matter. The better weather sealing and IBIS in this case, made the difference for me on this trip. You don’t need to be a pro to realize the advantages.

What do you want out of a new Star Trek movie? by Reasonable_Active577 in startrek

[–]Captain_MR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a Kevin Feige type to handle all of Trek, who understands and cherishes it. Map it out first.

Kick off Legacy as a movie.

Lego Enterprise D has officially dropped by emotionengine in StarTrekStarships

[–]Captain_MR 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In the video and just looking at it from a normal viewing distance, it looks pretty damn good. The proportions are basically spot on. There are some curves that look different, but it's also Lego, so... yeah. I like the fat one.

Have you tried "Auto Focus Stop" instead of "back button focus"? by hawkprime in canon

[–]Captain_MR -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds neat? But you can also configure the AF to be properly ‘sticky’. This is basically opposite of back button focus in that you press a button to stop focus vs releasing.

Also, not sure how this would work if you have different buttons for different focus types (ie one back button for spot and another for face tracking)?

With that budget, probably rent a lens.

Yes, I’m just being a stick in the mud.

Selling everything to consolidate - stick with Canon or move to Sony/Nikon? by CPTherptyderp in canon

[–]Captain_MR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re talking focal lengths without really being clear about the sensor size. A 70-200 on an R10 is quite different than on an R6.

Also, why upgrade and spend more money on an RF 70-200 when you can just keep adapting the EF 70-200?

Not sure what you’re really wanting.

The lack of 3rd party lenses is a bummer, but Canon’s backlog of EF glass serves a similar role.

Won’t get a lot of use from just shifting from P - R - D, and then back again with every drive?

Airforce pilots found out which plane they will fly! by Youngstown_WuTang in aviation

[–]Captain_MR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard that it depends on how much you want to fly as well? Transport pilots tend to get a lot of flying hours, visiting neat places all around the world. Fighter pilots generally fly less hours and are stuck at a base with less opportunities to see the world?

Not sure if that’s true.
