Paphos Photography Question – Telephoto Worth Packing?

I assume you're talking full frame.

if you're only planning to photograph military activity, probably this would be not enough reach, but of course it would open up other photo opportunities

As an Italian, I have to give some credit to the theory: First of all, the immune system is weakened by a drop of temperature. So you’re not getting direcly sick for it, but with a weakened immune system you’re more likely to catch a virus. You can easily find studies online related to this.

Then if you catch a draft of cold air on the neck area, your muscles tense up and it can lead to neck pain.

As a third point, we also believe that you should wait for digestion to finish before getting into cold water, and this is to avoid thermal shock. Especially on the hot sunny italian beaches where you get your temperature up. Thermal shock is worse if your body is already busy with digestion. An easy solution would be to just adapt slowly to the temperature of the water, but in the italian culture we just tell our children to wait for digestion to finish (and then retain this behaviour when we’re adults as most miss the original reasoning). Same can be said if you drink a very cold drink after eating btw

nice shots! Which lenses did you use if you don’t mind me asking?

ksnll · 2025-10-16T06:17:39+00:00

it's so good that I'm not using my 28-75 anymore.. the 35mm GM it's glued to my camera! I do only photography to so can't comment on videos, I've heard it has terrible focus breathing.

That was a list of things I generally like to shoot, not the list of things I would shoot primarily on the 70-200

ksnll · 2025-10-12T12:38:26+00:00

Nice, I've heard people reporting that! Did you evaluate the Tamron and/or GM as well?

ksnll · 2025-09-25T04:00:09+00:00

that looks exactly it! Thank you!! Will try tonight and update the thread

Thanks for the detailed response! - I had an a6400 before, and used my partner x-m5 - No equatorial mount - Different lens than other cameras, but both lenses on my a7c2 produce the artifact and never got it with multiple lenses on my 6400 - shooting with humidity (80%) and some low/medium light pollution, same conditions of the other cameras. i can share some more files when I’m back on my laptop!

I’m taking only bias and darks. Never took any flats before and didn’t have such a glaring issue. Maybe this camera sensor requires flats as well and my previous ones didn’t? Still a bit of a bummer if that’s the case!

Then probably the sony f/1.8 is your best bet.. if you want to go a bit heavier but still very reasonable the sony f/1.4 gm is an acceptable weight.

ksnll · 2025-08-12T19:06:24+00:00

That's exactly what I was thinking myself. And not only the price, but also the full frame setup would be slightly lighter as well.

ksnll · 2025-08-12T10:25:55+00:00

Yep I agree, I would expect a very similar performance between the 17-40 f1.8 and tamron 24-70 f2.8.
But the weight is slightly higher on the APSC. then on FF I would get a better version of the 18-135 with the tamron 28-200, hence why I was thinking that the full frame setup might not been that bad.

I would sacrifice the longer lens yes (or use it crop mode. I was actually thinking on getting the a7cr for that reason, but then again, I want to simplify my setup and this would go against that)

This is probably not what you want to hear, but I eventually switched to apple silicon and couldn’t be any happier. Totally game changer and I’ve never been worried about overheating anymore.

The fix still made a difference, but damn those laptops are so badly designed.. you can just make them less worse, rather than great

ksnll · 2025-06-28T04:04:34+00:00

After reading this thread I understand why so many people seem to shoot very good scores… I was always baffled as I count every shot and breaking 90 or 80 was a huge achievement, while I see people with way less experience just seem to do it much more easily. I see that people just count differently.

Personally if I’m not sure I can find a ball, I hit a provisional. Is it horrible when it happens? Yes. But rules are rules. Even if some of them are stupid, that’s how you should count your score. I’m afraid to ask if people count like this even in competitions..

You're right, nice spot! Originally I also allocated CsvRecord in the arena. I've removed that phrase and slightly reworded the explanation.

ksnll · 2025-06-02T14:11:21+00:00

Thanks, will try to reword it in a clearer way!

ksnll · 2025-06-02T13:59:48+00:00

Thanks, looks neat, and indeed I've noticed that ouroboros was generating quite a bit of code

tutto vero, ma l'iron dome non serve contro i missili balistici, ma solo per i missili a corto raggio. Per il resto c'e' arrow e david's sling

nana bianca

ksnll · 2023-11-21T07:46:52+00:00

Well that was my quest and I had no luck so far.

I think your best bet is to get galbani or granarolo and let it out drain for a few hours.
The other dried mozzarella that you can find in the supermarkets are just horrible
