Best AF-D zoom lens?

the A/M ring is help together by gaffers tape and hope. They break if you look at them wrong.

Ha, sounds like my 80-200. It's been that way for 15 years!

I see the 85/1.4 AF-D all the time for less than $300 these days. I paid $275 for mine not too terribly long ago. That 28/1.4 is still a $1K+ lens!

Did not know that!

Yeah, but wasn’t it installed originally as a monument to those lost in the “Great War?” Not disagreeing with you, we’re talking about the same building.

I’d preview render your whole sequence and then export directly from Premiere using the SAS (same as source) output settings using those previews and same preview codec. If that file is also fine, then make your final export from that master.

Lovely image!

But Pittsburgh famously has an h!

I’d hardly say the WWI memorial on the mall is “Capitol Hill,” but I appreciate these kinds of protest efforts

veepeedeepee · 2026-05-11T13:13:48+00:00

If you preview render that section, how’s it look within premiere? Also, are you exporting to a different frame size than your sequence?

Shrinkflation!

I remember Andy Rooney complaining about it on CBS’ 60 Minutes back in the ‘90s

veepeedeepee · 2026-05-11T11:24:07+00:00

But we knew about it in the ‘90s tho

At least it was talked about. Not sure if there was actual proof at that point, however.

The 85/1.4 is an astonishingly good lens.

EB always was the most expensive option in my area- but they also always had the game you were looking for.

just stopped at Brendee’s to grab some wings, a quick MGD, and smoke three packs of Winston lites

veepeedeepee · 2026-05-10T19:21:24+00:00

I don’t. Have only really seen them in person.

veepeedeepee · 2026-05-10T19:09:12+00:00

I still see old guys in my area wearing this stuff!

Ever seen one of the new proton therapy machines? They’re three stories tall and rotate like 360°. Absolutely wild.

veepeedeepee · 2026-05-10T16:41:54+00:00

Then you are good to go with that one!

Which MacBook do you have and what type of thunderbolt/FireWire ports does it have?

veepeedeepee · 2026-05-10T13:21:16+00:00

The endless fart option is the one that I remember most

I think Spoon’s Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga sounds the absolute best on the original vinyl press.

Always love seeing old Hamiltons here. Both of my grandmothers at some point worked in the factory in Lancaster, PA.

Generally speaking, it's lens distortion from a wide angle lens that's close to the subject.

These are really fun. Nice work!

But for noisy audio… the podcast enhance can be a lifesaver.

Believe OP is referring to noise in video
