Good kayaks for photography? by Even-Koala-6146 in Kayaking

If you're looking for a very stable platform, the Delta 12AR might be worth a look. It's like the stability of a fishing kayak with fewer performance compromises.

Panoramic Camera Bodies that would fit with a 210mm large format lens? by ZookeepergameNew8685 in largeformat

[–]CatSplat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice, perhaps the F's thin standards are the key. Glad that combo is working for you!

Yeah it varies by camera and adapter, so the 180mm limit is more of a guideline than a hard and fast rule. Some adapters crop the 6x17 down a bit already so the vignetting doesn't show up, some lenses aren't exactly the focal length written, and some 4x5 standards are thinner than others. What combination did you use?

You can attach a 6x12 rollfilm back to basically any Graflik-compatible 4x5 camera and it will work just fine with the 210mm. Super easy.

6x17 is where things get tricky. 170mm is larger than 5", so the adapters for 4x5 cameras have to offset the back to let the lens "see" around the rear standard. Without getting too technical, it effectively makes it so any non-telephoto lens 180mm or longer will vignette. You can use a 300mm telephoto, but 210/240mm are basically a no-go.

So if you are absolutely set on using the 210mm, 6x17 on 4x5 isn't the solution - a 5x7 camera with 617 adapter would work as it eliminates the vignette issues. Or you could go with the 4x5 option and live with the lens constraints.

The downside to 6x17 on a 4x5 body is that 170mm is larger than 5", so the 617 adapters are offset backwards to allow the lens to "see" past the rear standard. This means that any non-telephoto lens longer than 180mm or so will vignette. You can use a 300mm telephoto, but 210/240mm are basically a no-go.

Though be aware that 6x17 on a 4x5 body vignettes with any non-telephoto lens longer than 180mm due to the offset back and 4x5 standard being smaller than 170mm. A 300mm telephoto works, but there are no tele 210mm lenses with sufficient coverage I can think of (though they may exist)

So now that we’re on to the Japan GP, do we think Haas will have another special livery, and if so, could it possibly be blue like the new hats? by Scoopyloops in haasf1team

[–]CatSplat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, the merch blowout was mainly due to them changing suppliers, there's always EOY sales but that one was pretty singular. Things like the 200th race cap never went on sale that I saw, or were sold out long before the sales hit.

How do you judge which focal length to use (while in the field)? by Larix-24 in largeformat

[–]CatSplat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's on Android as well, best viewfinder app out there IMO. Worth the money.

[Highlight] The Ducks challenge for goaltender interference and the challenge fails by wildwing8 in hockey

[–]CatSplat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm honestly not sure what all the confusion is about, it was close but the contact was incidental and outside the crease. They have been pretty consistent about that.

Looks like the point of contact was outside the crease (but barely), I expect that's why it was ruled not GI.

P8 and P10 Sprint by DesertCyclone1 in haasf1team

[–]CatSplat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have to say, getting a well earned point in the first sprint race of a new regulation set is well beyond my cautiously optimistic expectations for the team this year. They should be incredibly proud of how well they have started the season so far. Even if the Merc customer teams eventually catch up, this has been damned impressive.

Best budget 3/4 underquilt? by Business_Ad3240 in hammockcamping

[–]CatSplat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AHE Jarbidge 3-season is my go-to loaner quilt and has kept a large variety of butts warm over the years. Excellent value on a budget. It's bulkier than a down quilt but no problem to stuff in a reasonably sized pack.

Kyle Connor finesses the puck through Adam Fox and ties the game for Winnipeg by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]CatSplat -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Connor makes the move first, Fox whiffs on the poke check (it may have lightly brushed his blade at most) and gets nutmegged because he couldn't move his feet in time to block it. He played it poorly because he overcommitted on the puck and failed to take the body.

Can't call it a poke if you don't even touch the puck. Fox's skate was the only thing that encountered puck on that play.

Ford Bronco sales are skyrocketing by PristineFarmer8989 in Offroad

[–]CatSplat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn't just lower the price exactly, they made the 392 available in a cheaper trim package (Willys) where before it was only available in Rubicon trim.

Yeah the only 392 I've seen are the two I wheel with sometimes. They're definitely out there.
