I really have too many lenses

[Juan Buhler]

I just dropped by my local camera shop.

They often have old lenses for sale, apparently from people who trade them
in.

I got a Mamiya 50/2 M42 and a Vivitar Series 1 200/3.5, for $10 each. The
Vivitar is in t-mount, it came with a Miranda mount but I already have an
M42 for it.

But then I couldn't resist and also picked up a Super-Takumar 150/4 for
$55, This one wasn't quite a bargain, that's basically what you can find
them for on ebay. But it is pristine, with cap, the metal hood and even the
passed sticker still on.

I can stop anytime I want,

Styrofoam coolers aren't quite the same as Styrofoam peanuts that get used
as packing material.

The thought of disintigrating bits of statically charged styrofoam getting
mixed in with my photo gear is a bit disturbing.

As long as you don't go full circle and get a super expensive cooler, like
a Yeti, which would actually attract thieves. Photo gear would be a bonus :)

Re: hardware problems

[Larry Colen]

We took a run down to Thor’s Well and Perpetua yesterday afternoon.  When I’m 
at the ocean I prefer to run multiple bodies and not change lenses in process, 
and I’ve gotten at least one bad file on a different card, shot on a different 
camera, than the ones before.  I also had my computer crash while importing 
files from Lightroom. I’m pretty sure at this point that the problem has to do 
with the computer.

I don’t want the styrofoam coolers, I want the sturdier plastic ones.  The 
thought of disintigrating bits of statically charged styrofoam getting mixed in 
with my photo gear is a bit disturbing.

Re: Photo gear storage, crazy idea

If Larry wants to try that, they're even cheaper than you might think!

I've got a whole stack of them (of various sizes) in my garage. We get
them when we buy edible goodies (British bacon, cornish pasties, ...).
I've been wondering if there's a food bank nearby that might want them,
but if Larry would care to stop by and take a couple off my hands ...

PESO: More fantails

[David Mann]

Yeah, sorry, it's fantails again (I'm very fond of them).  We had three of them 
in our garden this morning.  One of them came to check me out.  They're quite 
tame as people often disturb the insects they feed on.  I had to keep stepping 
back because it'd come within the minimum focus distance of my lens (2m, about 
6').

Once again I was fighting for light so I had to bring up the exposure in ACR.

PESO: Bellbird

[David Mann]

We've had at least one bellbird in the area visiting our garden but they're 
very difficult to photograph.  They're quite skittish and don't stop moving.  
They'd be a similar size to a starling.

I saw one feeding at the bottom of our garden this morning and rushed to get 
the camera.  This is about all I could get before he flew off.  I'll keep 
trying...
