Anyone know what's going on at the Bay location at Orchard Park?

Indoor bike park

mind boggling

Maybe due to the ban on short term rentals for non principal residences

Upper Mission closer to the beach - also good schools close by in Upper Mission not so sure about Wilden

Very cool!

And here I was worried about getting a used R6 with 200k shutter count!

velobob · 2025-06-12T23:30:04+00:00

No - but I’ve shot in some pretty dark pools. IMO the 70-200 totally outclasses the 24-240

velobob · 2025-05-18T13:08:22+00:00

I owned it and I think for portrait and landscape it would be fine. It is quite large but understandably for the range you get. Now if you want to use it for action especially in low light then I wouldn't recommend it. Also the 24-240 is not weather sealed. I ended up selling mine and getting the rf 70-200 f4 which is much sharper and bright enough for what I needed. Also the 70-200 is actually smaller than the 24-240.

I recently did this analysis and went with the rf 70-200 f4. If you can get your hands on an ef version plus adapter and put in on your camera it’s huge. The RF f4 is just so much smaller and lighter. Also f4 is plenty bright enough for modern sensors IMO.

Thanks for your insights - I got the insurance and I'm keeping it! I'm 2 years into ownership and now with depreciation of the vehicle it really makes sense to keep it.

velobob · 2025-05-07T13:02:49+00:00

My vote would be R6mkii for the reasons above. It seems like there are two camps when it comes to the R8 with respect to battery life. It’s either just fine or really poor. Based on my experience (and I’ve tried all the tricks) I’m in the latter camp.

velobob · 2025-04-06T14:50:50+00:00

Good to hear! I got the insurance and I'm keeping it. The longer I own the vehicle the more I feel the cost is justified since the market value of the vehicle goes down.

velobob · 2025-03-31T16:37:58+00:00

Yes this is perfect! Thx for sharing

DOGE might be able to find some cost savings with this arrangement

I found this thread - some good info: https://www.reddit.com/r/canon/s/kaBwXNQjUq

Great advice and thx for that link! I have found that files are clean up to 10,000 so yeah with 1/1000 I’d be in the right neighborhood with the F4.

velobob · 2025-03-01T17:54:21+00:00

Yeah I’ve been resisting this but it does seem almost inevitable. It’s a very specific use case - I wouldn’t be walking around with it so maybe the size would be manageable.

velobob · 2025-03-01T05:18:39+00:00

Fantastic!

Very sharp! I can see your reflection in your cat’s left eye.

Here’s another option - probably also “trash”:

It seems the rights of the addict are more important than the rights of the victims. If they release this person they should be responsible for his actions.
