I'm getting a 70-210 lens for my Nikon. Good mid level focal length lens. I'll help you fill this space. :lol:

Cool. I'm still a SLR/DSLR newbie, so I barely know what that means, but I've got a photography book I've been reading. Just starting to understand how shutter speed/aperture are related, and damn am I getting excited. I've always liked taking pictures (obviously :lol:), but now I'll be able to compose pictures. :lol:

It really is fun. I have an 18-135mm lens on my D80 now but the new lens will give me more options... especially doing stuff like action shots.

You first pics should be of what you get, too. :jester:

 

The AE-1's and lenses I bought before I realized the PITA setting up a color dark room was going to be :

My Canon Film Rebel that I still take on trips, as a backup "just in case" the dReb dies :

PIC00015.jpg

(why there's an AE-1 manual in that picture, I'm not quite sure... I think the AE-1 stuff was in the close cased)

 

The AE-1P I used most. That zoom lens turned out to be a piece........

Nice, action shots are always cool.

 

Ok, newbie question here: I understand how aperture and shutter speed work in regards to action shots, but how does the longer focal length relate?

 

And damn, Michael, got a few cameras there? :lol:

Well... lets say you have a person standing across the street from you. With 50mm lense you are going to get a lot of stuff around them and a small distant pic of the person. With a 210mm lense you can see if they have any wrinkles around their eyes and they fill much of the frame. It just allows you to get closer to the action... Downside it that it takes more light to create a good image and a steady hand or tripod to get good sharp images.

 

What lens did you get with the Canon?

Yeah, that was when I first discovered eBay.. I went a little overboard. :lol:

 

When I first started looking at digital, it just seemed SO expensive to get into it. So, I was going to buy some older film-based cameras (which I was already familiar with), setup a dark room, and go that route... That is until I realized the trouble & expense of setting up a color dark room.. and the expense of getting "allllllll that film developed." A few $50-60 trips to the film developing place (plus film) and digital didn't look quite so expensive, then...! :lol:

I still have my Nikon 35mm stuff. Don't think I'll be getting rid of any of it. Film still has its place. Very artsy medium. Less sterile than digital. Has warmth that digital can't produce... sort of the same reason I have an extensive vinyl collection and a nice turntable.

With the Digital Rebel? It came with the 18-55 EF-S "kit" (consumer) lens. I still need to upgrade that. Since I take so much landscape-style photography, I really should've upgraded the "short" lens before I got the nice (to me) "long" lens. But, I had taken a couple of road trips and felt like I had "missed" some far off shots of things, because the 75-300mm zoom couldn't reach quiiiite far enough (and it the images always looked 'off').

 

So, I upgraded.

The old lens is the black one... The new one is a beast. But if you can give it enough light, it shoots some damn good pictures. All of the Space Shuttle pics were shot with the big'un, hand-held... most of them, I had it fully extended.

Oh, I agree! Some of my favorite pictures were taken with the film Rebel on a quick weekend trip to Colorado. I really need to make a point of pulling it out more often and taking at least a few pictures with it.

 

I haven't sold any of my film stuff (even that zoom lens that turned out to be a piece)... I've managed to hang on to every one of these cameras.. and I have no intentions of selling them (unless someone offers me way more than would be reasonable to turn down! :jester:).

Ok so it's mainly just a zoom thing (I always over-think stuff :lol:)

 

And like Michael said the kit lens for the Canon is an 18-55mm. Should do me just fine for a while. :jester:

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
