thanks. I love to tinker, it seems it will a real challenge to my programming skills. =)

I'm still working with a friend with a CNC machine to come up with a design, that will allow the use of multiple lens mounts. I would love to have a camera that will allow vintage lenses of all types... Then we thought BELLOWS! This could simplify …

I wouldn't mind owning two phones. If I go out on a bike ride or a run, a small phone is great, but if I'm commuting to on the T, then a big phone is great. It's not that easy, what if the phones have different sim cards and then you have to deal …

I think mobile phones have gotten way too big. I miss the days when a small mobile phone was a key selling point. If it weren't such a pain in the ass to swap sim cards, I would definitely have a second smaller phone. Because 80% of the time …

I hate that we must have these regulations, but we must have these regulations.

I can see a day not too far off where phone numbers are irrelevant. Many two-token authentication platforms require a mobile phone to log into email. I argue that one day all correspondence will be merged into one platform and confirmation of our …

I don't really miss not having a landline, but I'm still nostalgic about them. I just remember calling a girl from my junior high and having anxiety about whether or not her parents were going to answer and then having to ask for her. Ahh, good …

OMG!! Hahahs

Hehehe. That's ok. I did an exhaustive internet search and I really couldn't find so much info on sensor tech. It's a heavy project, but I have all the time in the world. ❤📷

This looks like a great place to start. 😃

Right on, thanks.

update: someone sent me this link. I guess I can just buy a sensor. https://www.digikey.com/

Potentially to bring to market. But tinkering in my homemade clean-room is the real goal. Can a regular person pick-up a digital sensor kit? I've been wishing someone would come out out with a camera that would do X and could do Y. I love cameras …

I would only buy it if it came with a heads-up-display.

I agree with everything you said. Lens focal length is calculated the same with every camera, regardless of sensor size. The real shortcoming with mechanical rangefinders is keeping the focus mechanism maintained. Even Leica rangefinders fall out …

Yeah, Nikon (1948) and Canon (1935ish) did have rangefinder cameras first. Mirrorless cameras have an advantage, because there is no mirror box to get in the way. Allowing the lens designer more flexibility, especially when designing wide angle …

I'm excited for Nikon. I'll also be happy if Canon can pull this off too. Nikon, really needs to their mirrorless camera to be awesome if they want to stay in the game. Their DSLR fans aren't going anywhere, but Sony is fighting a battle with two …

I love LowePro bags, and I will probably buy another one to replace that horrible thinktank bag for days I need to carry a lot of gear. But I need a nice everyday street bag just big enough to carry an A7 or an X-T1 with a couple of lenses.

This definitely seems interesting, it could also be a little slow if you have a lot of negs. I'd love to give it a shot though.

Yeah, It does. I just won't jump into a camera bag purchase. I prefer not to buy them online anymore. A bag is personal, it's also a tool that helps you do your job the way you want to do it.

Even as a part time working pro you need multiple bags. I've been through my fair share of bags. I have three I use regularly now. Pelican for travel. ThinkTank Retrospective 50 for local jobs. 80s Tamrac shoulder bag. The Tamrac is my absolute …

Dreds at this point are fashion. That's it. Not some political statement, nor is it appropriation. I feel like I have a liberal belief system. And these hyper-sensitive liberals are killing me. Ugh.

Lightroom for the cloud will get better.

I will never forget the moment when I realized everybody I knew was lying about how talented I was. I was devastated. I put the camera down for years.. When i went back in 97 I embraced my ignorance and learned how to know that I didn't know …

Fortunately I don't think I need to at least have a dummy account. I know that when I had my own business page, I was getting near zero interaction. I've noticed with my meager 480 friend count I was getting even less interaction. Facebook should …
