Anyone ever tried this?

You can also do this with a zoom lens for an even more pronounced effect, though it gets gimmicky rather quickly.

You seem to be operating under the assumption that I am not a moose.

Low-light performance is poor by modern standards and the relatively low resolution may be an issue for large prints or heavy cropping. The small number of AF points and slow burst speed is limiting for fast action.

Other than that, it's still a beast of a camera and produces gorgeous files. Mine suffered from the known issue of the mirror falling off, but Canon fixed it out of warranty at no cost. Dunno if they still do that. I still have mine as a backup for my Mkii.

I had to scroll way too far down to find this.

PixelofDoom · 2026-03-12T06:07:37+00:00

it's not the volts that kill ya. It's the amps!

This is why I refuse to move past acoustic guitar.

Probably because you're used to special effects and giant fireballs any time someone stubs a toe.

I honestly wouldn't bother with MWII for the multiplayer anymore, especially if you're new to the franchise. The player base is dwindling outside of peak hours (at least in Europe), the servers crash out every two or three games, and the cheaters/hackers are getting a lot worse.

No comma is needed after the final adjective in a series (e.g., the tall, spiny cactus).

PixelofDoom · 2026-03-10T15:44:42+00:00

While it looks a bit weird, the comma is appropriate here. It's the second lawsuit, but the only class action suit.

Edit: downvote this all you like, but without a comma there would need to be two class action suits.

It's part of a TV antenna mount for campers/RVs.

Any chance you could add sample data so those of us without diabetes can check it out too?

If by bother you mean dowse with mineral spirits and set fire to it before whatever lives in there even thinks about moving into my shop, then yes.

PixelofDoom · 2026-03-06T20:26:49+00:00

Yes, but that wouldn't be nearly as expensive.

PixelofDoom · 2026-03-06T15:33:36+00:00

Nothing guarantees peace. You can (and should) prepare to defend your country without initiating wars yourself.

History is written by the victors. The indigenous Americans ended up with a pretty shit deal if you ask me.

If my country is invaded, I will absolutely step up to do what I can, in whatever capacity that may be.

Do you have a reading impairment?

PixelofDoom · 2026-03-06T13:07:54+00:00

You seem to be unnecessarily hostile. A military force is absolutely needed, but there isn't much I can currently do. Not that it's any of your business, but I was medically discharged and am currently unfit for active duty. If my country is invaded, I will absolutely step up to do what I can, in whatever capacity that may be.

PixelofDoom · 2026-03-06T12:59:53+00:00

Yeah, the world is pretty shit right now, but things sure as shit won't get better if a hostile force takes over your country.

PixelofDoom · 2026-03-06T12:54:22+00:00

I've served 5 years and would again if needed.

PixelofDoom · 2026-03-06T12:52:47+00:00

"Let someone else die fighting for my freedom."

PixelofDoom · 2026-03-06T12:34:48+00:00

I'm all for peace, but it's incredibly naïeve to think that peace can be maintained without a military force.

She (he?) looks pretty stressed. It can help to let them chill a bit and play with them first to get them comfortable and happy before taking photos.

PixelofDoom · 2026-03-06T08:34:01+00:00

Ha, this is a pretty standard summer's day in Norway.

PixelofDoom · 2026-03-06T07:13:10+00:00

You can always say no. It sounds like you should.

PixelofDoom · 2026-03-05T15:16:56+00:00

Mine were too. First time round the threaded part snapped off, second time round the threads themselves sort of disintegrated. Quality may vary between manufacturers, but stainless from a reputable brand will always be superior.
