Shoot in color. You can always convert to B&W.

My rule of thumb is that if I go to a local brick and mortar for advice, I buy from that store. No exceptions.

I’ve never had a problem with any B&H OR Adorama return. Never!!!!

A little late.

Degusting!

I might KILL for pizza! Can you explain the taste difference between birch beer and root beer?

[quote=Soul Dr.]Here are some captures from my new camera, a Fujifilm X-T10. Just got it this past Fri. Been kind of busy this weekend, so not a lot of chance to use it.
These are some images I got with it around my house and neighborhood.
I really like this camera, as you use it mostly manually. All the controls are either knobs or dials so there is not much need to go to a menu to make changes to shutter speed, aperture or ISO. Got this one as a great deal, $350 new with free shipping and U. S. warranty for the body only.
Please view the downloads.

Nice, sharp, well composed shots! How did you get those photos of the antenna candelabra?

Never mind the cameras; hold on to. That girlfriend!!!!!

I bought my Rollei back in 1956 and I seem to remember that the only Zeiss lenses available then were East German Jena made. I'm not even sure there was a 2.8 Planar then but I do know that all 3.5 Tessars were from "The Worker's Paradise." I didn't want any East German camera gear back then because I was aware of the fact that the Soviets had removed so much Zeiss machinery to Kiev, and supplied essentially inferior raw materials and lubricants that the quality of products severely deteriorated. In the '60s, I did use old Exacta lenses on a reversal ring to make stunning macro shots with a Pentax LX.

Despite my reluctance to buy USSR Occupied German gear, I did later acquire a Contax D, with Biogon lens, and several Exakta cameras with Zeiss glass. My prejudices against East German products was bang on where the cameras were concerned but the lenses weren't bad at all. I wasn't surprised at the pathetic showing of the Contax D, but, I was seriously disappointed about the Exaktas. When I was a teen ager - back in the Late Stone Age - I deeply lusted for an Exakta. They were pretty expensive then; thank God I was never able to scrape together enough money to buy one. When faced with their reality instead of my dream, I might have had has to lay my head on the railroad track and let the 5:15 pacify my weary mind.

My kind of OP.

Me too!

Very nice. But it looks like if a few of those ladies prostrated themselves they might not be able to get up.

A "GRAY market" Nikon lens is the same as any other, it simply has not been imported through Nikon USA and will not be serviced by them. There really is no need to be chary about a gray market lens, though I might hesitate about a gray market camera.

No place to park a car anyway.

BTW, I have been using a friend's Pentax 645Z and I am able to tell you all that it is a fine camera. Not only that, but many used lenses are available at very attractive prices.

I use a 503CW. I prefer my old Rollei f/2.8D, with Schneider lens.
