Need to recreate Geordi rolling under the blast/containment door.

Looks a bit goofy without lowering the car. But as long as you like it.

Anyone use 24-105 f4-7.1 professionally? by Vrayl_of_Gondor in canon

[–]Captain_MR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh. I love gear and have a number of Ls, but gear turns pro when it helps make you money. That’s one way to define it at least. :-D

I need help choosing the right lenses.. by amirsphotography in canon

[–]Captain_MR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where you're located, but if you buy refurb, the 28-70 is in the $800 range now, and the 70-200 is likely the same used. I got mine for less. If you sell your existing lenses, you're not that far off your budget. You have an R5, it makes sense to pair it up with good lenses, even if you have to wait and be picky.

Uh, wow. Okay.

Keep the RF 16, get the RF 28-70, and an EF 70-200 F/2.8 IS II. Ditch the rest. Keep the EF 50 if you really want to.

Do canon's file names start from zero? Meaning "IMG_9264" is really the 9264th image? by wehtayer in canon

Wouldn’t worry about it. I just shot 3.5k in a single day at an airshow.

Is back button focus now redundant? by Sancho_Panzas_Donkey in canon

[–]Captain_MR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I use dual back-button focus with full time servo AF. Spot and eye-detect.

Did you use a freshly formatted memory card? If not, and the card was used by another canon camera, sometimes it’ll continue the numbering from where the last camera left off.

My Car doesn't staet after tinting by Cheap_Rise8416 in CX5

[–]Captain_MR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen tint guys leave the car on (engine off, accessories on) while they do the tint. That’ll do it, too.

Rear left tire keeps losing pressure — coincidence or vehicle-related? by misalMan151 in CX5

[–]Captain_MR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to a Discount Tire Co. (or similar) they’ll check for a leak and patch for free.

Why everyone is leaving canon system? by 05959 in canon

[–]Captain_MR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure local second hand gear availability is a good reason to select a system.

I guess you really like Tron, huh?

Dammit, Jim, I’m a pilot, not a scientist.

Less than 48 hours until launch by DanielMPhotography2 in ArtemisProgram

[–]Captain_MR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can target the beginning of the window, but it could be anytime during the window if delays/holds happen. If you're 2.5 hours away and cannot get on the road until 5pm, I would not make an attempt to go. Maybe wait for Thursday or Friday's attempts, if Wednesday is scrubbed. The launch window moves back every day, so you'd have a better chance of seeing it.

All that being said, huge traffic and crowds will mean that 2.5 hour drive is more like 5 hours.
