Re: Camera Obervations from a workshop

Actually, no: not any head. The whole point of a panorama head, or the Monoball or GP, is that the rotating platform is level so that you can make multiple exposures without the horizon going off-level. Correcting off-level horizons in multi-exposure panoramas with post processing causes a

Or any head with a bubble level. But the Pentax in-camera level makes it a mute point. And unless the error is egregious, correcting the horizon in rendering takes only seconds. Paul via phone > On Sep 10, 2016, at 7:31 PM, Mark Roberts wrote: > > Godfrey DiGiorgi

Re: Camera Obervations from a workshop

It's for situations like this that the Arca-Swiss Monoball and Acratech GP heads excel. Level the camera on the head and the orientation of the tripod column doesn't matter. G > On Sep 10, 2016, at 3:38 PM, John wrote: > > When doing panoramas, having a level that

When doing panoramas, having a level that assures the tripod's center column is vertical is more useful to me than having a level in or on the camera. On 9/10/2016 12:00 AM, Ken Waller wrote: Kind of interesting to me that people even mention such things. These comments were made during an

Re: DFA 70-200 failure

For what its worth the 70-200 is a star lens that is wholly Ricoh designed and manufactured. I'm really sorry this happened. I would be complaining a lot if a $1800 lens fell off the camera. The ring on the camera is threaded into plastic. At least on the aps-c bodies. Plastic threads are easier

More than likely, the same Blue Heron that frequents that area of Gray Lodge. Flooding of the local refuges is well under way and there are signs that the fall migration is beginning. Not that dynamic, but liked the lighting. Comments welcome. J
