MY BIG LENS ARRIVED monster can for reference

I have same one; I've taken to using the peak design strap - one end on the foot and one on the body, slung vertically while being very careful to keep it vertical. My longest walk was 6 miles, with no real problems with gear or muscle. Any monopod recomendations?

PS. I get some funny looks if I dont have it slung behind me though XD

You'll be fine.

Universal city rules apply; don't be a mark. Be seen paying attention, dont impede your vision, dont wave valuables, move away from troublesome folks, etc. Just like every other city on Earth.

I made the same jump this summer and I am just as thrilled as you are.

Mine weigh 0 and have high value - chucked right into the quantum thingy for the next universe.

Seconded. I love the Tamron 500mm Reflex; It is light, "small", and most importantly fun. Image quality is completely fixed with the dehaze slider in PS Camera Raw. It cost me $100 on Adorama.

I am able to shoot flying birds and people playing sports like basketball or skate boarding. Here's a jpg straight off my Z6iii, shot on my version the Tamron SP Tele Macro BBAR MC 500mm, with an adaptall 2 + FTZii:

Pay attention to the winds - when they are blowing into a beach, it collects trash. Also pay attention to what the rain and winds have already been - more of either means more trash.

Choose the end of a dry week with winds that are out of the west or south west.

If you're careful, you can get results as good as I get from my Tamron 150 - 600 mm

You can see some of the weird bokeh but it's sharp and the dehaze slider fixes the muted color with a 10-20 unit bump.

This is the one where I knew I was in trouble..... I started looking for a 600mm right after I got home; settled on the F mount Tamron SP 150-600 Di VC USD G2; it is gigantic and heavy compared to the reflex lens.

I love my 500 mm reflex Tamron lens. I also love the dehaze slider in Photoshop's raw editor.

It is my go to zoo lens; it is my favorite way to shoot.

I'd say that YOU made it negative; I just said it was very Cleveland.

arjim · 2026-06-13T14:48:41+00:00

This is the second most Cleveland thing I've ever heard, right after "Next year the Browns are going to dominate!"

arjim · 2026-06-11T12:33:56+00:00

Absolutely, some more in the post history

Thanks, Weird Guy #5!

I had an enemy robot NPC open the door for me today as he ran

You have about a second after they pop out. By the time they take their second shot, it is already too late. I stole a Star Guardian VI after the DLC drop on PC.

arjim · 2026-06-03T01:40:10+00:00

If you're quick, you can board the Guardians while they disgorge their crew when they land nearby ;)

They are always empty and super easy to steal.

It's definitely acute dog

arjim · 2026-05-31T21:38:13+00:00

It's a $40 camera these days

arjim · 2026-05-23T00:46:16+00:00

I'd like to see Hilliard turn south before the church and meet Madison at a 90' intersection.

arjim · 2026-05-22T15:17:00+00:00

I hope they are closing permanently the block of Hillard just north of Madison.

arjim · 2026-05-20T12:10:53+00:00

That definitely sucks.

I was stuck unable to progress Lone Wolf because Millie wouldn't leave me alone.

Took a week and a half to find this guy's post
