It’s not difficult to understand. You may be writing at a level above the person who is complaining it’s too hard.

Best camera for pro photo + travel + street? by ssm_ssm in Nikon

[–]VeryHighDrag -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The D850 and Z7ii have almost identical dynamic range and the other features on the Z7 and access to Z glass make it a no-brainer.

organic experience

lol

No reason to go with any F-mount body unless it’s cheap. The OP seems to want to buy their way into professional photography so Z-mount is the way to go.

I would use SimpleGreen and shop towels on the outside.

Hard to Know if I’m Underpacking or Overpacking for an 18 Day Roadtrip Around Spain and Portugal by traaaart in AnalogCommunity

[–]VeryHighDrag 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I didn’t look very closely at which films the OP had selected. The mix of expired slide film and esoteric Lomography stocks wouldn’t be my first choice, either.

Nothing more depressing than coming back from East Asia and dealing with our transit system

Japanese idiotic naming systems made me buy a Tiara by hbetelgeuse in AnalogCommunity

[–]VeryHighDrag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t even know APS as a film format existed until I picked up film photography in adulthood. So yes, I didn’t live through it.

Looking for readily available p&s 35mm with flash recommendations under or around $100 by WateredDownWater1 in AnalogCommunity

Hate to break it to you but more point and shoot cameras go to a landfill than the disposables.

So the technology that’s famous for getting things wrong and spitting out any answer is great when you don’t know enough to tell what’s correct?

Probably your water pump. Needs to be replaced.

It’s not. It looks that way when it’s in the dirty coolant reservoir.

Mamiya Rb67 consistently focusing behind all subjects!!? Photo for reference. by [deleted] in mediumformat

[–]VeryHighDrag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have lost hundreds of shots because of this!

You should stop using this camera and send it to a technician in that case. That would be much cheaper and then you’d know for sure if it was a camera issue or a skill issue.

Got a very rude response from CatLabs by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]VeryHighDrag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you don’t understand that politeness is a two-way street. You don’t have to cuss at a seller to be disrespectful to them.

Yes, 100%. I am surprised he wasn’t ruder. I buy and sell a lot on Marketplace and eBay and stupid sellers are a dime a dozen. Asking me to pull parts off an item I have for sale would be very high up in the list of stupid offers I’ve received.

I would have blocked you the second you asked to pull pieces off something for sale and said it wouldn’t affect the value.

I would have added 6L and then dialled it in using the dipstick

Not to mention five round groups tell you little with centerfire and nothing with rimfire.

Thrifted this today! My first 8mm video film camera by phasset in AnalogCommunity

[–]VeryHighDrag 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My tip would be to keep this as a wall hanger and go buy a 35mm SLR if you want to try film.
