Could I please have my access back to the classifieds? Doing a bit more photography again and thinking about switching systems…..

And they'd be holding film holders, dark slides and remembering to do everything too (cock the shutter)... In a suit of course!

It was a little tongue in cheek... I've actually driven a few hundred kilometer detour to go to Tweebuffelsfontein - which is the shortened version of the South African place name.

Steady 24 here. But most importantly, SUN!! Just been away for a month where its a steady 33-34 everyday. I've been freezing since I got back!

Thanks Des I guess your advice is probably spot on. A piece of me has obvious reservations about the whole idea and I guess those reservations have a sound basis!

Exactly what I used to do. If you start throwing in cold washes, you will also drop the temp of the next process which can’t be desirable. I used a Jobo processor and everything was warmed up to the bath temp. A simple system.

Many thanks - I had read somewhere that it worked fine with the 1.4. I believe it tries to focus with the 2 but doesn’t. So wondered if the 1.7 was an option at all. Some lenses get on with TCs and some don’t; so it appears to be one that remarkably does….

That funny! Of course photos abound of press shooters with their 4x5 Graflexes in one hand and the 'lightsaber' in the other too... And they had to keep a handkerchief in the camera hand as well so that they didn't burn their hands when changing bulbs in a hurry.

Any direct experience of how this lens performs with the 1.4 and 1.7 teleconverters? I'm thinking about taking the plunge but the option of cranking it out on my D850 is a dealbreaker. Not worried about lowlight; almost always will have decent daylight and predictable subjects. Am I likely to be...

Often. Flash brackets have been around for eons (change the angle of the flash). Catchlights are often much better when caught in a different direction to the camera.

:ROFLMAO: Touché

And you need the excuse? :ROFLMAO:

Now I'm not convinced one is any more "educated" by that...

I used to shoot it quite a bit - it scans really well and the auto dust removal works on it. Great exposure latitude and a no-brainer alternative IMO.
