Gear discussion thread v. "I got some new gear and I got to post it here" - General

I just turn it on very low, and use it in conjunction with magnified view and rock the focus back and forth to achieve the best sharpness quickly

[QUOTE=frag4life;43378209]That sony 50 1.4 is just the exact same lens as the Minolta AF one you can get secondhand for like 200 USD. I would see no point in getting that lens new IMHO.[/QUOTE] Awesome, thanks! Looks like I'll be getting the Minolta AF 50mm f/1.4, Just ordered it!

You'll really like it, I dig mine quite a bit. I also recommend getting a minolta maxxum film body (they are all decent, I use a maxxum 7000 and a 9xi) so you can use the lens on a 35mm format.

What can you do if when turning the zoom ring, you get clicking noises?

Just stocked up.. [IMG]https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1555318_10200781074523222_290334412_n.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Him1411;43391593]Vistapocolypse[/QUOTE] That's what I was thinking. Went to my local Poundland and they were all out so we drove over to the next town and bought every roll in the shop.

Every roll? It's like no one else buys it eh?

104 rolls X (development costs) = ???

I don't shoot enough to warrant buying that man, of the 10 I bought mid-october (iirc) i've still got at least 6

[QUOTE=Zeemlapje;43392096]104 rolls X (development costs) = ???[/QUOTE] £1 per roll + £2 Dev cost = £3 per roll = £3 x 52 = £156 £156 per 52 rolls.

don't forget to stick them in a fridge since those are going to last for a couple of years

[QUOTE=Zeemlapje;43392255]don't forget to stick them in a fridge since those are going to last for a couple of years[/QUOTE] Right now I'm shooting 2 rolls per week but i'm sure that'll reduce as time goes on. So right now i've got roughly 6 months covered.

I shoot like 2 rolls every 6 months

Just wondering. How much rolls of film did you guys shoot in 2013? Doesnt have to be accurate to the number, as estimate is fine too.

[QUOTE=frag4life;43393357]Just wondering. How much rolls of film did you guys shoot in 2013? Doesnt have to be accurate to the number, as estimate is fine too.[/QUOTE] 1 - black and white film shot on a Minolta, never processed. No idea where it went to this date.

[QUOTE=frag4life;43393357]Just wondering. How much rolls of film did you guys shoot in 2013? Doesnt have to be accurate to the number, as estimate is fine too.[/QUOTE] I shot about 13 rolls.

If i look at my scanned rolls I shot about 125 rolls in 2013. I'd say that's a fair number. More than I thought.

Since were on the topic of how much photos shot, how about digitally?

[QUOTE=garychencool;43393419]Since were on the topic of how much photos shot, how about digitally?[/QUOTE] id guess for me somewhere in the range of 1000 photos taken, but most of them were just me fiddling around with the camera so id guess photos taken that I actually used/werent deleted within 5 minutes, maybe 300 or 400? [editline]2nd January 2014[/editline] i think it would be pretty cool if I took my shutter count right now and then again at the end of the year to see how many times my camera went off in a year, regardless if I saved the pics or not

[QUOTE=garychencool;43393419]Since were on the topic of how much photos shot, how about digitally?[/QUOTE] I took 5774 digital pictures in 2013 according to Lightroom.

[QUOTE=garychencool;43393419]Since were on the topic of how much photos shot, how about digitally?[/QUOTE] i have absolutely no idea i hardly saved any of them i'm checking now, i hardly have any :( [editline]2nd January 2014[/editline] i counted, i *saved* 123 digital photos this year.

[QUOTE=garychencool;43393419]Since were on the topic of how much photos shot, how about digitally?[/QUOTE] in excess of 5,000 i'd guess

I wouldn't have any idea.

so i got the replacement battery for my d7100 and it seems to work but I just noticed that its a 3rd party cheapo $20 battery so technically it shouldnt be working but it is (for now) dwt110: 1 nikon: 0 its an XIT en el15

[QUOTE=garychencool;43382201]What can you do if when turning the zoom ring, you get clicking noises?[/QUOTE] Anyone? It sounds like plastic clicking on something

actually closer to 10,000 i think

I took about 1000 in 2013. Enough to fit on 1 battery charge on a D90.

fifty rolls of 120
