Well i didn't get that far.

The blower wasn't cutting it, needed something more powerfull like that rocket blower. Tried attaching a straw, still nope.

Had no choice but to make contact, covered the tip of a cotton bud with that lint free lens tissue..was able to remove one blotch but added some more tiny bits. Because of the matte screen they kinda stuck to it.

Gave up. At least it's a little better now.

Have one right on the microprism :mad: gotta live with it now.:mad:

People. Cameras are not THAT fragile. If you be careful nothing will happen. I clean the mirror and focusing screen with a cloth pretty often. Sometimes even just my shirt to the mirror.
[Off-topic] roofrider:
U serious? Of course you are.

Good to know, cause there are scary WARNINGS all over the internet saying the mirror is too damn fragile and coating is on the front side and stuff.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
It's only as fragile as a piece of glass. If it can take being flipped a few hundred times in an hour, it can take a light wipe with a cloth.

[Off-topic] boborone:
That's what I want to do.

In the next couple of weeks I'm going downtown Dallas and doing some cityscape shooting over night. Take the train downtown in the evening, and come back home when morning hits. Take some beer and my camera. Hell only thing I got to worry about then is the bums. But their cool their, it's not the crack neighborhood, it's just downtown.

And the 50th anniversary of JFK's shooting is coming up, want to go hit Dealy Plaza with all the homeless tour guides down there and get some shots. And if you're ever in Dallas and want a good tour of that area, don't bother with School Book Depository Museum. The bums are where it's at. Give em 10 bucks and they show you around, give em something extra, and they give you all the pamplets from the museum. You go to the Museum and it's just a an old lady taking your money and you walk around and read plaques. Do the bums. they're cool down there. did that one year for my ex's bday. She aws a JFK buff but had never been. really cool place next to the ooooold ass train station. I just want to go spend the night down there. I love shooting the city and at night.

Windy as hell the day we went out.
[Off-topic] boborone:
Nice man. I miss fishing. Almost bought a single person pontoon boat last summer. Seats one, holds a cooler, your pole and tackle box. And fits in the bed of a Ranger.

On your Land Cruiser, was it diesel or gas. My old bud had one. Had the 4 cyl diesel in it. Couple hundred thousand miles on it. Wife made him get rid of it and get something safer when they had a kid. He's not the kind to get all sappy about things, but I swear he cried when no one was around over that truck.
[Off-topic] Thats OK:
A single guy pontoon would be great for the lake.

Stay out of the wind tho... :)

The cruiser that we had\have (in the garage right now not running) has the original pain in the ass F-type 6 cylinder in it.

The wife bought it brand new from a dealer in LA in 1971 and has held the title ever since.

Parts are astronomical in price now...wife is on me to get it running.

Man yer bud kind of lost out when he sold off that diesel cruiser.

Those are the holy grail of vintage 4 wheel drives...extremely rare in the US in original form.

A restored one brings in over $20,000 to around $50,000 depending on year and condition.

Major booboo selling one of those off in any condition.

Actually looking to put a diesel in ours.

Perfect platform for an oilburner as they say.
[Off-topic] boborone:
Yea. He picked his up some time back when he was in the Navy in Canada. I really think I would have left her if that was my wife. Thing smoked, but ran like a dream. His wasn't bad. No rust, and straight body. Only bad part was the interior. Uncomfortable as hell seats. But I rode many a night in the back when he took my keys and wouldn't let me drive.

Maybe find a Cummins 4BT for yours. Lil 4 cyl diesel. They put those in everything. Used to run in delivery trucks and small boats. Now people are putting em in Rangers and Tacomas. All though, UHaul had some diesel Toyotas for a while, not sure if you could find any of those for a donor engine.

Spent a lot of time working in Utah...that's a big state for hot rod diesels.

Lived right next to a guy that drove a twin turbo 03 dodge 24 valve with the usual Edge switchbox.

Ya know I had a second home there in Roy UT and didn't realize EDGE was right there in Ogden.

Crazy...

I went there and parked in front of their home office took some pics and posted to prove to the haters it was real.

[Off-topic] jaszek:
Hey. That's OK, to make you feel happier, I have 3 more frames left on the roll. I did notice something. Had some trouble. Read on it few minutes ago. When I want to shoot full manual, the camera shows the recommended values in the viewfinder. Confusing as ****. lol. Next time I'll take the reading with the 5D3, and then dial that in, which is what I did at first, but it was showing me totally different numbers in the VF.
[Off-topic] roofrider:

Yup mine shows the recomended values too, but shows the manually set values as well.

[Off-topic] Thats OK:
Remove thee lens cap.

(bad joke sorry)

K in all seriousness them older cameras tried to average f stop to shutter speed.

I used to get the blinking values and had to adjust the film speed dial up or down.

There should be a little exposure value adjustment there to go -/+ for exposure average.

Think the ASA dial was set on 800 when I boxed the camera...it might have been 1600.

The reason for that was I was trying to shoot 800 at 1600 for better low light exposure.

Print film needs push processing to do that tho...

I'd be curious to see if you can adjust the speed dial to get matching numbers with yer DSLR.

And what happens with those exposures.

Just some rambling here...I've forgotten so much.

Boy film can be such a crap shoot sometimes.

Hey you develop the films yourself? I think dex did it..in a darkroom.

[Off-topic] jaszek:
I think one of the shots I took from the exact same position and the exact same parameter (2", f/8, ISO/ASA 800) So I'm wondering what that will yeild.

I read up on developing B&W film, and it seems pretty simple, and no need for a dark room. I'll give the first roll to someone to develop, and for the other one I'll take a ride to B&H to buy some chemicals.
[Off-topic] dexter93:
He is just shooting his first roll of film :rolleyes:

Hey noob. I thought you were shooting on M with the 5D... But you can't use a lightmeter?? :p

If you want equal readings, switch the f stops, speed and iso advance from 1/3 to 1/2 in your digital brick.

[Off-topic] jaszek:
I was talking about the built in light meter that you see in the view finder. And I lately shoot in Av, since that's the only thing I need the most control over. WHen you are shooting a wedding, or concert, trust me, you dont have time to mess with the settings.

I'm not a fan of how agitated the film. By doing it that way you pour some chems in the top of the can leaving half the film with no chems on it. I just lay it flat and do small circles of the table. Other than that, yep, it's that easy.

And printing is fun. I'm not much good on the computer graphics, but man, you can do wild things with a projector and blocking and bending the image. One of the photos I won with had a profile shot of my bud, then when I printed it, used blocking to hide his brain area of his head. Then layed things like a joint and syringe and lighter on the area. Shot through that,with white light, and was left with silohettes of drugs on his mind. Really cool pic. Then you can do things like bending the image. Ruffle the paper a bit and you get neat effects. But you have to set up for two images. And focus on both for the ruffles. I miss that stuff.

Think it would be better to go at 1/15, -1 EV for a double expo seems to be the right value. :confused:

Yup the 800 is naturally grainy.

I always had problems focusing because of my eyesight.
