Re: OT Rabbit hole

3905 - I was lucky. A group of Japanese women standing next to some tar and paper sheds; a street scene with a poster for a Stallone film and a racing car start line with everyone dressed in gnomex suits were easy to date to within a decade. The Stallone one was dead on. If you run it again,

Re: OT: Fancy Camera Strap

Heh … Mine is usually set to about 46". Longer than that and the camera sits too low, swings around too much for me. :) I have anchors fitted to most of my cameras, so I just swap the Leash to whatever I need to use it on. (I actually have three of them, for tripods and second camera carry…).

Lens aperture slow to respond, thus overexposed pictures

Hi Friends, had a similar problem with a Pentax "A" 35-105 mm f3.5 Lens - bought Like New for US $ 65 + Tax at Kaufman's Camera in the Bay Area CA. I reckoned a CLA would cost more than buying another one, say from KEH com - $ 149 then. I then took the DIY route after reading up some resources on

Re: OT: Fancy Camera Strap

I use a Black Rapid dtrsp. It‘s long, D esigned for cross chest use and bulletproof. The camera slides on the strap so it can be raised without moving the strap. It’s the only strap I’ll use. BlackRapid RS-4 Retro Classic, Original Camera Sling Design, Strap for DSLR, SLR and Mirrorless

Measured mine set at about 50" or so, with an additional 25" available, 13" in the strap,and 6" in each camera attachment. (quick releases similar to the Tamron's and others) ... truly extraordinary max. of 75". I tend to use compatible quick release buckle (maybe Tamron) camera attachment

RE: OS 11 --> Weird problem

I fired up the Epson software after trying Henk's suggestion, and while it allowed me to select Professional mode, I never got to see a 'Scan' button! So I fired up VueScan 64, Version 6497 from April 2022, and it immediately offered me the latest upgrade. Installed it, and - Lo and Behold!

Re: OT: Fancy Camera Strap

I looked at that project. The neat part of the base plate is that it takes the load off the standard lugs (not designed for that kind of carry) and puts the load at the base which allows the camera to lay flat more reliably. It's primarily targeted to work with an SLR or largish EVF camera's

Re: OT: Fancy Camera Strap

I've always carried my cameras like that ... you just need a longer than normal strap, no fancy base bracket. Also use an ancient Galen Rowell chest pouch as a waist pack to secure same setup at my side when not scrambling. (though I would love to find a good source for long straps, mine I

John, I remember the trouble I had installing my Epson V500 under W10. The trick was to install the software from the CD and right click on the file escndv.exe in the epson folder under program files (x86). There you can change compatibility mode to an earlier windows version. I choose Vista at
