I have a 500mm mirror lens and a 150-600mm zoom lens, terrific tripod and a support bracket for my long zoom lens. I’m not sure which will be best or should my 28 -135mm be good for this night sky?

I have a 150-600 zoom lens as well, and would like to know how well that lens would work myself.

Henry Repeating Arms update

The owner of a firearm may ship it to the manufacturer for repairs, and he/she doesn't need an FFL. The manufacturer can make the repairs, then ship directly to the owner.

I've used this exception with Ruger, Smith & Wesson, and Colt's Firearms.

Would like advice for 16 year old granddaughter.

There are some excellent and free camera educational sites on line. You may want to consider used equipment, B&H, KEH, Roberts are just a few of great used gear sellers. Roberts usually provides a 6 month warranty.

Good luck.

NIB (New In Box)

It clearly states “New” which by looking at the camera itself doesn’t look new. Besides, the seller is a pawn shop and I highly doubt they have new unused camera for sale. If it were me, I’d return it and keep shopping.
Good luck.

Has anyone had any experience buying from Focus Camera?

JimC21 wrote:

Roberts Camera in Indianapolis is also very good. 6 month warranty on used is real.

I second that suggestion. They are good and back what they sell.

Spanish Question

Jerry,
My wife is from southern Spain (Andalucia) and they use that (th) sound for the letter S and Z. From the accents that I know of in Central and South America, they pronounce it more withOUT the Castellano accent.

Edit: Sorry, that last sentence was typed whilst I wasn't paying attention in my morning meeting :)

Question on Best Lens Filters

RT113 wrote:

Hello, it has been many years since I have purchased new camera equipment. I am buying a new camera (Canon R5 w/lens). I plan to add a 77mm filter for the lens. I have not kept up with filter brands and quality. Which brands or product lines are now considered the go to? Thanks

I use B&W (clear) filters on all my lenses strictly for protection purposes only. There are many that don’t support using filters, but if you read the posting by Marge “I almost cried” then you’ll see why many people use them.
Good luck.

Recommendation for Neutral Density Filters

B&W sells filters, they don't make them.

Very helpful answer, especially when it has nothing to do with the question.

No Problem

[quote=IDguy]That’s what you get for living in New Jersey. Out west, throughout “fly over country”, and in the south you will always get a “Thank You, x”. x = “sir” or “Ma'am”.

Not so much in northeast S of Maine and New Hampshire.

(PS: When I was brought up in NJ in 50s and 60s you always got a “Thank You”.)[/

Totally agree.

I’m convinced it’s a Jersey thing!

No Problem

Lack of manners and rudeness seems to be the norm now. I keep holding doors open for someone, or letting them through, and rarely do I get a thank you.

selling everything

Never seen such a difficult sale on this site. No pictures (we know you have a camera) and the lack of prices doesn’t help much either.
Good luck.
