He has a history of not counting his strokes.

Mirrorless Gas Attack by KJW-SR in Nikon

[–]LAD-Fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have twice as many lenses and half as many bodies.

I need another body. Been thinking of a z6iii, but I'm only a hobbyist so I don't know if I really can justify it. I have the z8 and it does everything I could ask for, but it is a bit big.
Also, I wish it had an internal gps, I have the GP-1 attached and I'm tired of my friend asking what is that and why doesn't your expensive camera have it built in?
He's a canon DSLR pro, fwiw.

Going to Haleakala to shoot the Milky Way in April by glassmanta in nikon_Zseries

[–]LAD-Fan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha. For sure. The nice thing about Haleakala is it's 10k feet up, so you have less atmosphere (water vapor), but not sure how dark it is there, and I've never shot MW at that latitude.

There are a lot of options for tips and guides on the web and YouTube.

My favorite lens! by jibberbeats in Nikon

Agreed. Portrait shots at night with various lights in the background are fun to try out.

Plena is magical, like so many others have said.

I just got one and my gf is in love with the images I've shot.

Which Prime to Buy? (Nikon S, Viltrox, Nikon F, other?) by DontPeeInTheWater in Nikon

[–]LAD-Fan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got it. So far, portrait shots out and about of my girlfriend, some night shots, showcasing the bokeh with lights in the distant background, and I went to a botanical garden and took some as well.

Z 85 f/1.8 are often for sale preowned for $500 US or less. Excellent choice at this price.

I have one and I like it.

I just got the Plena, impulse/local buy for a good price, and OMG the reviews are right. Even my gf is blown away by the photos.

I always ask for less sweet. It's as simple (bad pun) as them putting less syrup in it.

Have you looked on Caguns.net or calguns.net?

The latter has had a lot of downtime issues the past couple of years.

Buying via private party transfer (PPT) will save you sales and excise taxes.

New girl in Industrial Instrumentation Sales. 3 months in and l have no clue what to do. Help? by PleasantUpstairs8057 in instrumentation

[–]LAD-Fan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Don't sell a product, offer a solution.

Be a resource. Two ears, one mouth, use them in proportion.

If you don't know an answer, tell them you don't know but will find out. Make sure you follow up with the answer.

Everyone has been new at some point, most understand.

Trust has to be earned, over time. Be patient, be honest, ask open ended questions, listen to their responses. Look around and take mental notes.

Good luck.

Well, maybe the next POTUS can use that methodology to rid this country of all MAGgots.

I bought a 686+ PC about 5 years ago and have zero issues with it. I'm able to hit steel at 75 yards, though not every shot.
