OT LED shop lights

[Larry Colen]

My local Costco, and I presume yours as well, has FEIT LED shop lights 
on sale for $20 down from $28.  3700 lumens, 42 watts, they work even 
when it is cold. I've never gotten along well with fluorescent shop 
lights and have been converting all of my shed and shop lighting to these.


I suspect that they would also work well as "hot" strip lights, I 
haven't experimented much with them for portraiture yet, but they 
provide a nice even light.

Certainly rare, especially as a combo.
How much are they worth?

I don't need no steenkin' note! I figure if I like something it's

Not that it really matters, 'cause none of us is getting out of here

Re: Adapting Nikon lens for K-mount?

I think that is referred to as “out of the box” thinking.

I do still have the legacy Leica M3 and a small handful of lenses. I spent 
$400+ a few years ago getting the shutter repaired and otherwise getting it 
into usable condition. Someday I might actually put some film through it. The 
chances of my shooting any film with a Nikon are in fact slightly higher than 
with the Leica as I wouldn’t have to deal with the whole rangefinder thing. But 
still, I think I have moved on to digital now.

 So, to the question. Is it feasible to permanently replace the Nikon
 mount with a K-mount? Maintaining infinity focus without added lens
 element(s)?

Re: 500px

[Rob Studdert]

It's a mutual love fest, the social drivers of the rating system suck
badly IMO, it's a nice space to host images but a difficult space to
be seen unless you adhere to the formulas.
