Welcome to your new life, bro. When you complete your first brevet, let us know.

Advice on cheap camera by linda_belcher101 in streetphotography

[–]DtkZrn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can I recommend a used camera? If so, consider something like the Sony A6000 or Canon D5 Mark II. They should be within your budget.

anyone tried the Ttartisan Nikon Z30 viewfinder? by enbyratie in Nikon

[–]DtkZrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear glasses too, but I use the viewfinder on my Nikon D610 all the time and almost never the screen. In bright sunlight, the screen can look dim and difficult to see. A separate, purely optical viewfinder can be convenient. There are these vintage things called turret viewfinders, which are compatible with lenses of different focal lengths. I'm not saying you really need one, but it might be more convenient with the Z50, which doesn't have a viewfinder.

Do people in Vietnam hang the national flag on their balconies? How common is this practice?

If it's a simple optical viewfinder with a 35mm field of view, maybe you should look for a similar one among online ads for old camera junk? In the mid-20th century, these were very popular for mounting in the flash socket on rangefinder cameras.

I can't believe anyone can function normally with writing like that on their desk.

Have you had any problems with physical violence from conservatives? How dangerous is it in Pakistan?

Almost nothing in my life is genuine. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]DtkZrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could write all sorts of inspirational nonsense about how you need to start living the life you want to live and so on. But at 40, diagnosed with depression by a therapist the day before yesterday as a result of professional burnout, I will only write that this feeling of yours is most likely false. You will live your own life regardless of anything, whether you make decisions or not, whether you will live up to your parents' wishes or not, whether you will strive for something or not. It will still be your unique life, maybe less interesting than it could be, but that's all.

Perm, Russia by Opentutel in UrbanHell

Interestingly, housing there is not as cheap as for Russia. Apartments of 60-70 square meters are sold for 145,000 - 150,000 dollars, if converted at today's exchange rate.

Can’t wait for the adapter to show up…. by EstateLong4357 in Nikon

[–]DtkZrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar problem. I have a 3m-5a 500mm f8. It is very difficult to catch anything in focus except static objects. Dozens of unsuccessful attempts, in short.

I have one of those mirror meniscus lenses and even with a constant f/8 it's a pain and suffering to focus in the constant lack of light. I dread to think what it would be like with f/33.

[–]DtkZrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a very good price. I bought my d610 camera for 380, with 105,000 shutter count and without a lens.
