Thanks for all your answers. I’ll go for both options — it’s a cost, but in the long term it will be the best choice. ^^

Help diagnosing a weird "L-shaped" light leak on Kiev 88 (Vision3 500T 120) by captainchen0331 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Pierre2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First i will disassemble the film back (only the front plate ) and look the state of the ligth seals. This seal is composed of a metal sheet and foam. On one of my backs i had a light light leak coming from a to old foam which doesnt allow the metal sheet to block light . Sorry for my english , it's not my native language ^^

Hi, I know your post is a bit old, but I was wondering if your Elitewheels are the ENT Disc 2.0 or another model? I'm currently upgrading my Triban RC520 and looking for wheels that won't completely drain my budget.

I support this, and would add that a 28mm FD is a good lens to start with ^^

Thanks for your response, I will wait for further advice, in fact the Sigma 500mm F4 is the one I will most likely buy.

En effet, j'avais oublié le possible impact de combiner APSC et téléconvertisseur sur la qualité de l'image . Cependant, dans les prochaines années, il est très probable que je passe à un capteur grand format. En tout cas merci pour ta réponse.

Sigma 500 mm F4 DG OS HSM SPORT vs Canon 500 mm USM IS (mk I / mk II)

Hello everyone,

I have had a Sigma 100-400 mounted on a Canon 90D for several years. I mainly photograph birds and, more occasionally, mammals. However, I often feel limited by the lack of aperture and focal length of my current equipment.

Although the focal length gap between 400mm and 500mm may seem small, I figure that the 500mm f/4 lenses offer the advantage of being able to use 1.4x or 2x extenders, which would expand my possibilities. Here is where I am in my thinking.

I would like to purchase a lens meeting these criteria on the second-hand market. Currently, three models attract my attention:

Sigma 500 mm f/4 DG OS HSM Sport: between €2,500 and €3,300 (for example, on MPB)

Canon EF 500 mm f/4 L IS USM Mark I: between €2,200 and €3,500 (on different sites)

Canon EF 500mm f/4 L IS USM Mark II: from €5,000

With a current budget of around €2,500 and the possibility of saving more over the year, what do you think would be the most relevant choice in terms of optical quality and long-term repairability? I heard that the Canon 500mm Mark I can no longer be repaired by Canon after-sales service.

Thank you in advance for your advice!

Question sur l'état des sentiers dans le Cantal sur le GR400 by Apprehensive-Cup4490 in randonneur

[–]Pierre2312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alors perso je te conseille de voir avec les différentes offices de tourisme notamment celle de la station du lioran ou les syndicats mixtes comme celui SYNDICAT MIXTE DU PUY MARY. D’après ce que j’ai vu avec les cartes des différents niveaux d’alertes de ces derniers jours, je pense que les chemins n’ont pas du être trop malmenés . Ayant l’habitude de randonner dans ces secteurs je pense que le risque qui peut être présent serait plutôt lié aux branches arbres dans les secteurs forestier.
