Getting your gear scuffed for street cred is fine and all, but I don't trust the oafs handling baggage at the airlines not to destroy $3700 worth of lenses. (I'm not counting the kit lens in the middle because I don't care. But I had room for one more, so...)

Plus you can't walk out of a Harbor Freight without buying something silly.

Drop proof from a 100m at this point

I'm pretty sure I took this one with the 100 as well because I was too lazy to swap lenses.

I don't have the metadata because that one's been cropped and argyled and uploaded to the instance servers in the interim, which has the net effect of stripping off all the EXIF data.

Good for you. All I know about photography is that if my lens is heavier than my base camera ... I can't afford it.

That’s what’s so great about the RZ67! The body is already so heavy that most of the lenses become affordable.

No idea what system you're on, but if you're on a budget DSLR systems are the way to go IMO. F-mount lenses go back quite a ways and old glass is cheap - especially if it requires an in-body focus motor.

Give us the rundown plz

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world [S] 4 points 11 months ago

I bought a new ~~fancy~~ cheap hard case to travel with my lenses and junk. Currently containing:

My R10
RF 200mm-800mm
RF 100mm/2.8 Macro
RF 35mm/1.8
The dinky 18-35 kit lens my camera came with

There's two layers to the foam. If I get clever I might be able to fit some chargers and cables and stuff underneath the first layer in some spots.

You could use that equipment to capture images of things close or far away. That case will protect your equipment for many years.

Real Photographer indeed! You should get some business cards printed up, because that would set you apart from fake photographers.

Aw, even the nifty fifty got a spot.

Pelican 1600?

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world [S] 6 points 11 months ago

El Cheapo Harbor Freight "Apache" 4800. As often used as motorcycle luggage by skint bastards, as well.

Is that a Nikkor 13mm f/5.6?

...hmph. Huh.

Looks like it is not.

[Giant big shrug]

NEVER MIND THEN.
