As soon as I posted the ThinkTank bag, a friend informed me I was out of date.
ThinkTank had invented the MindShift Gear Rotation 180. It has a internal fanny pack that can slide out to the front when you need a lens or filter change, and then backside for being on the move.
Naturally it solved all the issues I had with the backpack I had…[Read more]

OK, I am not always traveling light.
With a recent purchase of a third S lens, assorted filters, and a tripod, I needed something that could hold it all, and be transported on a bike. That called for a backpack.

Got the Think Tank to do the job. I used their lens changer bag to be a base for the…[Read more]

Congratulations Ed!

BTW, we definitely need more images in this thread.

Thanks David.

Under File menu, try Import from Another Catalog…

This should work. If not,…[Read more]

Doug,
I just purchased the final release and may have the same issue. So if it is an issue, I hope someone answers.

One of the constant themes in web discussions is that no-one can really get a sense of what images from cameras like the S-System actually look like. Web images are way too low-res.

Hi Victor – I'm a bit out of date, but the two I've used over the years are:

Camera Techs

Photo-tronics Inc.
513 Dexter Ave N.

The M3 is a standard that most any competent repair tech should be able to CLA… After moving east of the mountains I used a small shop in…[Read more]

Long wait. I hope you find it as useful a lens as I have.

After seven months on order I finally collected the Vario today! looking forward to getting out this afternoon!

Since all I shoot is arch (with quite a bit of interior work), I shoot in the wide range more than the long, and I'm mainly preoccupied with watching for distortion at the edges. The profile(s) in LR5 do the same job as those I've used with Phocus. I've seen no indication of a poor profile – no barrel, pincushion or mustache distortion apparent…[Read more]

Thank you Richard for the feedback. How is the distortion correction at major focal lengths? Not asking for perfection, but wondering if they can be corrected easily (i.e. no mustache shaped distortion) in post.

Thanks!

I have what you seek. Like new with boxes. Both heads and three converters. Interested?

This is a late response, but here it is FWIW.

I'm a digital Hasselblad users for many,…[Read more]

You will not believe it! On a business trip, Seattle waterfront. Hand held! All set on auto.:p

I was surprised to learn that the Nikkor 5cm F1.5 AND the Simlar 5cm F1.5 were both designed in 1937. I also have the 5cm F1.5 Simlar, one of the first made- #74, came with a 4-digit Leotax D-IV putting it in the 1949~1950 range for manufacture. It is a Double-Gauss design, 7 elements in 4 groups, an original design. The other F1.5 lenses went to…[Read more]
