I think you use it to take pictures not take pictures of it.

You'll get it soon enough though!

Getting your gear scuffed for street cred is fine and all, but I don't trust the oafs handling baggage at the airlines not to destroy $3700 worth of lenses. (I'm not counting the kit lens in the middle because I don't care. But I had room for one more, so...)

Plus you can't walk out of a Harbor Freight without buying something silly.

Drop proof from a 100m at this point

dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 286d

I'm pretty sure I took this one with the 100 as well because I was too lazy to swap lenses.

I don't have the metadata because that one's been cropped and argyled and uploaded to the instance servers in the interim, which has the net effect of stripping off all the EXIF data.

Good for you. All I know about photography is that if my lens is heavier than my base camera ... I can't afford it.

:(

That’s what’s so great about the RZ67! The body is already so heavy that most of the lenses become affordable.

No idea what system you're on, but if you're on a budget DSLR systems are the way to go IMO. F-mount lenses go back quite a ways and old glass is cheap - especially if it requires an in-body focus motor.

but, OP... if that's your camera, then what took the photo!?

Give us the rundown plz

dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 287d

I bought a new fancy cheap hard case to travel with my lenses and junk. Currently containing:

  • My R10
  • RF 200mm-800mm
  • RF 100mm/2.8 Macro
  • RF 35mm/1.8
  • The dinky 18-35 kit lens my camera came with

There's two layers to the foam. If I get clever I might be able to fit some chargers and cables and stuff underneath the first layer in some spots.

Photographer = One who takes photos

all photographers

escapedgoat@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 286d

Well 3 out of 4 aint bad. I don't shoot professionally.

saltesc@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 287d

Aw, even the nifty fifty got a spot.

umbraroze@piefed.social · 3 pts · 287d

Is that a Nikkor 13mm f/5.6?

...hmph. Huh.

Looks like it is not.

[Giant big shrug]

NEVER MIND THEN.

Pelican 1600?

dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 287d

El Cheapo Harbor Freight "Apache" 4800. As often used as motorcycle luggage by skint bastards, as well.

You could use that equipment to capture images of things close or far away. That case will protect your equipment for many years.

Real Photographer indeed! You should get some business cards printed up, because that would set you apart from fake photographers.
