ParticipantAre exactly 2 sec exposures OK for this? I just noticed it says greater than, and I shot a 2 sec one the other day that I was probably going to use…..

It might be worth checking to see if the rear element group unscrews easily (assuming you can reach it safely), you might be able to get it out if it does.

It’s actually surprising how little stuff like that matters, most of the time: http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2008/10/front-element-scratches
ParticipantIsn’t there a +/- button that will let (both of) you adjust the EV with the command dial? That’s fairly standard Nikon practice, anyways.
Participantgorrck’s appears to be a scanned print of the sabatier effect done the old fashioned darkroom way if the description on flickr is correct.
ParticipantWith silhouettes my thought is, a shadow is black.
Shadows aren’t really black (they tend to be rather blue in direct sunlight), black is just what happens when you exceed the dynamic range of your camera’s low end 🙂
ParticipantWait, you mean the world isn’t really coming to an end like Ken Rockwell said? (http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/00-new-today.htm) Damn, I better see if I can return all of these MREs…..
ParticipantFlickr is definitely stripping out a lot of referrer info (probably to reduce the amount of questions they’re getting) – they originally provided something much closer to the raw HTTP log data, which was much more informative if you knew how to interpret it but I think it confused a lot of people when they couldn’t always follow the link back to the referring page (because it was someone’s inbox or RSS reader etc…)
ParticipantStopping down the aperture on your main lens might make a difference as well – you often see elliptical bokeh towards the edge of the frame when shooting wide open, and that looks kind of similar?
ParticipantFilm should go in your carry on, not checked luggage. The x-rays they use for checked luggage are much more powerful and will likely affect film (and if they see a lead pouch, they crank up the power until they can see what’s inside).
The x-rays for carry on luggage are supposedly safe for any film < ISO1600, and I haven't seen any problems with stuff I've taken through. But they were willing to hand inspect it when I ihad some 1600 speed film with me (I took all the film out of the canisters and put it in a ziplock). I'd be inclined to try to mail it if I knew I was going to be going through the x-rays a whole bunch of times, though,
ParticipantParticipantI must admit upon handling one of these, I experienced a strong desire to own a Nikon.
Good…. Take your credit card! Strike down your L glass and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
ParticipantI would have guessed the 60D based on my opinion that the 7000 lacks all the manual options.
What’s missing? As far as I can see, they’ve added proper support for MF lenses (for the first time on a non-pro Nikon DSLR) and haven’t taken away anything from previous top-end consumer models.
ParticipantWow, good going orionid! 75 votes and counting … has anyone ever cracked 100?
Five, actually: http://www.schneeworld.com/fsm/static-reports/greatestentriesevar.html
ParticipantSounds to me like he’s decided he can get a lot more money for the stuff than he originally thought. He might even be right – it looks like an F4 in the middle of the 1st picture, and there might be a screw mount leica 2nd from the top in the middle of the 3rd pic….
