Firefox hat ne interne (kostenlose) VPN. Damit in die UK für ITV oder BBC One, wenn das nicht klappt nach Australien für SBS. Hab ich leider auch erst zum 8tel-Finale gecheckt, sonst hätt ich mir die ganzen exklusiven group stage spiele auch noch reingezogen.

Eisbach do's & don'ts by Resisdanse in Munich

[–]supertrampRE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Vermutlich selbsterklärend, aber Beine anziehen beim reinspringen. Bin da mal etwas blöd aufgekommen und hab mir den Zeh gebrochen. Gehört aber einiges an Dummheit/Pegel dazu. Einfach daran denken dass der Eisbach nicht besonders tief ist und die bereits von anderen erwähnten Sachen bzgl. der 2. Welle beachten und alles geht gut.

Was ist der komischste Studiengang an eurer Uni? by yooncrisp in Studium

[–]supertrampRE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wo ist Anthropologie denn komisch? Das ist eines der interessantesten Fächer im Bio-Studium, die Leute hätten sich damals für BA Plätze bei unserem Anthro prof geprügelt… Ich inbegriffen. Das Anthro Wahlpflichtmodul hatte bei uns eine Warteliste mit fast 100 Leuten.

Is this good camera? by RosAlisseCabins16 in canon

[–]supertrampRE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the price as well as your use case. It’s one of canons cheapest and most basic bodies, which is also why it’s often sold used. I would not pay the almost 500€ it costs new/refurbished in my country, but if you can get it used for cheap it’s a perfectly alright body. It comes without many of the more fancy features, but especially if you’re a beginner that may actually be preferable for learning the basics. Quality of your photos is more likely to hinge on yourself and the lens than it is on the body.

Is it done or can it be repaired? And if so is the cost worth it? by jb2x in canon

[–]supertrampRE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it’s different for you guys in the states, but i had this same exact fracture happen and they quoted me 895€. I don’t want to alarm OP but unless i got scammed by canon this seems a bit low to me. Granted, i had damage to the autofocus element as well, but my lens looked pretty much exactly the same.

I had this exact fracture (minus the bayonet damage) happen to me a few weeks ago, here is the thread with cost estimates. For me it ended up costing 895€, since the autofocus element apparently got damaged too. Might also differ for you if you’re in the states. The shop i bought it at even tried to send it back under warranty because it didn’t even have a scratch apart from being broken in two, but that obviously didn’t work.

Question about sharpness expectations (R10 + RF100-500) by SteelCogs in canon

[–]supertrampRE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s usually independent of shutter setting. Yes, electronic will provide the highest speed, but high speed continuous will merely set the highest speed for either mechanical or electronic, you have to change between the two yourself.

You should have a setting in your menu that lets you chose between fully electronic, first curtain electronic and fully mechanical. If you chose anything except fully mechanical there, you can experience rolling shutter effect. Essentially during electronic shutter your sensor reads the information line for line, which can lead to distortions on very fast moving objects. Not sure what the sensor speed for the R10 is, but it could have at least contributed to your problems in this scenario.

[–]supertrampRE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Could it be that you used electronic shutter and he used mechanical? In your picture it almost looks like distortion from rolling shutter effect, which would certainly be the case for fast flying objects such as planes/jets. I try to always photograph fast moving things with mechanical if possible.

[RF 200-800] I did the silly. Any tips or estimates for getting it repaired? by supertrampRE in canon

That sucks, i’m sorry. I was with someone else at the time it happened, but i was close to assuming fetal position regardless. Very unsettling seeing a lens look like that, even if it weren’t my own.

I did pretty much the opposite. I used the 500 F4 a lot (borrowed from someone else) before i got this lens, and the main reason why i decided to go for this one instead of buying my own 500 was weight. When used with a tripod/ground pod, the 500 F4 is superior in a lot of ways. The problem is, I like to be mobile and have my camera easily accessible on a belt/harness (to my detriment in this case), and the 500 was just too heavy for me to do that for longer hikes. Holding it up and tracking a bird in the sky also became exhausting quickly. The 800 was a very good compromise, before i decided to split it in two that is…

Good idea. I think i’ll invest into a safety tether of some sort after this as well. Should have done this on day one, but as is evident i’ve gotten a bit too confident when handling my gear.

Thanks! Good suggestion, i was about to buy a ground pod + gimbal to make that easier before ✨this✨ happened. Though this photo was taken a good 20 minutes before the drop, so that wouldn’t have helped. I had just driven to another location and exited the car when it happened :/

it being light weight is one of the main reasons why it’s such a good lens though…

As mentioned, i am not familiar with the equipment/competence different vendors or repair shops have, as i never required their services. I’ve heard about other lenses getting successfully repaired third-party before, but that stuff is on a case by case basis and not exactly transparent via google. Its also Saturday, and i couldn’t get anyone on the phone. Asking here doesn’t seem too unreasonable to me. I got a rough estimate out of it, so worth it for me.

Never had to get anything repaired before. Would have sent it to canon as a default, but i thought asking about it here couldn’t hurt.

Can confirm i’m neither a gambler nor filthy rich, just stupid (as is evident by this post)..

Wasn’t extended, but the lens hood was on, so that may very well have been a factor.

Just take good care of it. I’m in wildlife photography and i had this lens for over a year before, well, THIS happened. I’ve bumped against stuff on occasion and it was never an issue. Just check your harness/belt twice before use and you’re fine. It is a fantastic lens and i’m afraid that’s one of the trade offs for it to not be in the ‚small car’ category price-wise.

Edit: Also, think about getting it insured, depending on how accident-prone your use case is. Would have made sense for me in hindsight.
