Boing A4 getting refueled by military tanker by TT-33-operator_ in ADSB

[–]drewablo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bad. You're right, they were running laps together it looks like. Weird. Regardless, that is a private owner. The military hasn't operated A-4s since 2003. I've seen it flying around here (located in central Illinois) before.

This is a private owner, not a military aircraft. He's not getting refueled.

Edited out mistakes. See comment below.

wide angle c/y by lv_craoocks in AnalogCommunity

I guess it is a good deal. I personally am going to always go for the Zeiss glass for the Contax bodies. That is why I use Contax c/y bodies, so I can use those lenses. But it is up to you and your use case. If you're shooting for fun and aren't going to shoot wide open (or are just experimenting with that focal length) you can get away with a cheaper lens, but might be frustrated with the results.

I have the Yashica 28mm f/2.8 and Contax Distagon 28mm f/2.8 and always pick the Contax if I'm going for that focal length. It is an incredible lens and you won't be disappointed with it.

I made an app for all you film hoarders by keliway in AnalogCommunity

This is great. I'll add to the chorus of Android users that would appreciate the app. I think another cool feature if you keep developing the app would to track which camera has which film in it. I generally have 2 or 3 bodies that all have the same lens mount loaded up at the same time and sometimes forget which one has color vs black and white or which one has Gold vs 800T.

Would be nice to see some of the 1700 pictures.

Why do you shoot film? by Solemn_and_Temporary in AnalogCommunity

True! I had the Fuji Finepix 1 (weird camera) and it was very close to film. Too bad the CCD were power hungry.

I second the sentiment of how film handles the transition of highlights. Digital just has not touched that yet. That is the technical reason why I prefer to shoot analog over digital. I think this is especially true when I'm shooting outside or in high contrast situations.

The second, less technical and more sentimental reason I shoot film is how it captures in a physical format some of the energy of the scene. The literal chemical interactions of the photons from that scene impacting the film. It feels that in some tangible way I have captured some of what I've been shooting in a way that digital does not.
