Listen Up, Camera Store Snob!

Darth Vader uses a Black MP, original 1957 version. He does not require a meter.

I put a Summarit on my Canon 7. IT CAN BE TURNED!

You guys are hilarious! I started thinking about Light Side/Dark Side after posting, and I confused myself.

 

[vsolanoy]

Hey! Watch it. In another group, I am considered the Prince of the Darkside, because I use Nikon's....

Apologies to the Emporer :angel:

 

[Sonnar Brian]

The Emporer uses a Black Nikon SP with Titanium Foil Curtains. It sired the Nikon F that led to the fall of the RF's.

He meters using the force. The darkside of course. 😛

Miti Clorines=Bokeh

Who is nerd enough to get it?

LTM=light side
Contax/Kive=dark side.

Why? Because I already have loads of LTM gear (leica, canon, CV, etc.) Dark side started with Kiev trade w/ Nick. Then a Kiev ebay bid. Next up? Contax.

The next chapter of this tale is Chapter 11, of course...

Anyone ever go to Bagnall's Camera Expo? Went for the first time today, not bad!

 

[aizan]

i've gone several times. find anything interesting?

 

[ray_g]

light side = canon rf
dark side = everything else

darkest side = leica

🙂

Hmmm... what about the Voigtlanders? FSU's?

 

[back alley]

i have a warm spot for the bessa r.

 

[Sonnar Brian]

That's nice, Joe only turns the frying pan to warm to cook Bessa's.

For Leica's, he sets it to High and adds hefty amounts of oil.

 

[vsolanoy]

Voigtlander = member of the Rebel Alliance, a member representing the light side, along with Canon, Nikon, Contax, etc...

Leica = Dark Side - they initially had great intentions, but as Canon and Nikon grew in power, Leica started to equate that price = power, and fragmented themselves into a small faction hoping to control Photo Empire with their philosophies and ancient powers.

Although the Rebels really do belong to Canon (part of the Rebel Alliance, as someone suggested above), they are just a a small fragment of a larger body that are loyal to the cause... err... um... yeah... something like that.

A couple of filters and a bunch of lens caps/body caps that I have been in need of. I did find a very clean black Minolta 7sII, but the shutter seemed a bit sticky, the guy wanted $100 bucks. I only ran through, plan on going and spending a little more time next month! Ever go to the Camera show at the Elks lodge in Pasadena?

Gentlemen, THIS is the dark side!

On what other camera can you get a " speia color effect" ???. Not even a Canon 1DsII !! 😀

 

[aizan]

haven't been to the one in pasadena. been meaning to check it out, though.

 

[parks5920]

IT started off at .99 and now stands at $77.00 with 10 minutes to go. UGH!

 

[RML]

Ended at $81.

But what does it mean when it says it is 12 MPix but has an "Image Sensor: CMOS 3.14 MP"? Sounds like a lot of interpolation to go from 3.14 to 12 MPix. Or am I just mistaken...?
