It's nothing new, solutions using poles existed for years. The problem is, my two poles are already used as supports for my tent's structure, pic related. Would work for taking pictures during the day, for which I don't really need a tripod anyway, but not for milky way photography.
I've yet to find a regular tripod that fits my needs. The only time I need one is when I'm hiking, for which I do multi-days hikes in one go and where I can't justify wasting a full 1Kg on a piece of metal. Especially not when I cut down every little gram to only keep what matters, even on food and water to the point of it being dangerous. As a cope I simply use a shitty 30cm gorillapod weighting less than 200g. I just have to find a rock somewhere for more elevation and it werks fine enough as long as it's not too windy. But it's still a pure cope solution.

>Going all primes is stupid in this day and age
Virtually all supertelephoto requires lots of speed for good results, normally zooms can't cut it. 70-200 is good for portraits and such but after that you're going to be limited if you pick a zoom over a telephoto because you probably are using the reach for sports or wildlife. All the fieldcraft and "just get closer"ing won't save you from a blurry shot when your target does something cool (ie, moves).

I specified image stabilisation for a reason, because your main issue beyond 200 mm comes from shake, not target movement.
However if you went with primes instead, you'd need at least 5 lenses:
>24 f/2.8
>50 f/1.x
>135 f/2.8
>200 f/2.8
>300 f/4
Where as zooms allow you to get away with 3 (perhaps even 2) lenses, either:
>24
>50
>70-300 f/4-5.6 image stabilised
or
>24-70 ish f/2.8
>70-300 f/4-5.6 image stabilised

21mm and 40mm. Everything else is bloat, slop, cringe and garbage. Not a single good photo has been taken on 150mm+. Get closer

Does the D700 become a semi D3 when you add a grip?

>>4310399
Sure looks like one.

>>4310658
Kinda. It still isn't as fast as one, the build quality isn't quite as tough, the shutter will not last as long, and you don't have voice memos, but you are getting most of the D3 experience out of it.

On the plus side, the MB-D10 is a fucking massive chunky grip that may fit your hands better than the D3's vertical grip if you have large hands, the MB-D10 also has its own AF joystick, whereas the D3 only has one, which makes adjusting your AF point while in vertical use a big reach for your thumb; the EN-EL3 batteries for the D700 are really fucking cheap compared to the ones the D3 takes.

Overall, if I didn't already have a D3, and I wanted to choose between the two of them, I would set a budget of $350 and get whichever of them I could that was in the best condition, with the provision that the D700 comes with at least two batteries and the MB-D10.

I do it with a combination of shift lens, rectilinear lens (low distortion), and correction software like DXO viewpoint

>See anything related about Printing

>>4312385

SPEED

>>4312443
>Why 300 is the golden number in DPI
it is twice as much as 150, which in turn is the nice rounded number which is twice as much as 72, which is what resolution dot matrix printers had.

>>4312355
>The data sheet states "5760x1440dpi" but surely that can't be right.
The printer is capable of laying down dots at that resolution. That's how it's able to reproduce so many tones and colors with its ink set. Extremely fine halftoning.

However, you may not actually be able to feed that resolution to the printer and expect to see it on paper. Obviously not with shades of gray and colors since you need multiple dots to simulate the tones and colors. Each pixel you feed the printer breaks down into a set of dots. But even with pure black and white line art, the printer driver probably scales input to 720x720 or 1440x1440 before figuring out the halftone.

Years ago, when I got my 3880, I remember testing it to try and figure out what resolution could actually be sent to the printer using B&W line art. I seem to remember seeing improvement all the way to 1440 ppi. So on pure B&W, which means one ink, the printer was able to accept/render 1440 ppi. This requires special paper, i.e. your typical office paper has a dot bleed size larger than 1/1440.

On color photographs there was no improvement beyond 720 ppi, even on sections that had a pure black line on a pure white background. Beyond that I found that
- 180 ppi was acceptable for most shots.
- 240 ppi saw a large improvement over 180 ppi.
- There was some improvement to 360 ppi, but you really had to look for it.
- On carefully crafted images you could see improvement to 720 ppi in monochromatic areas, suggesting photographs are scaled to 720 ppi before halftone. But otherwise there was nothing to see between 360 ppi and 720 ppi.
- By that time the scaling algorithms in the printer driver were already so good that hitting a multiple of the printer's resolution didn't matter. 240, 235, 245, 252 ppi etc. all came out the same.

>>4312378
>Also if you have images that exist at 300 PPI, you will need to interpolate them to fit 1440 DPI printing or let the printer handle that scaling.
>If you're looking for 1:1 input-output with a 300 DPI file you need to use HP/Canon/Brother who use 1200 DPI for their nozzles.
By the late 2000's the driver scaling was so good that this does not matter at all. You don't need to scale your 300 ppi image, and sending data at a multiple of the print head resolution or not makes no difference.

The only reason to scale in PS is if you have a very low resolution image because you can take steps to try and smooth out jaggies. If you send 72 ppi to the printer it's going to faithfully reproduce it and you will be able to see the stair steps. But 300 vs. 360 vs something odd like 305 is irrelevant. If 300 ppi is what you've got, it's what you're going to see on a good photo paper.

>when trying to print a 1800x1200 image for a 6x4 print on an EPSON because it's incapable of directly translating that to ink droplets without INTERPOLATING.
None of these printers "directly" translate the pixels to ink droplets. All of them scale to something they want internally and then apply a halftone.

I'd feel bad posting a portrait of someone on 4chan without asking. I don't carry myself that way but idk I guess I'm very self conscious. It's part of why I wanna start doing street portraiture, getting better at speaking to people.

>>4312272
If you see a lot of likes on a "reel" like that, with no much content besides someone taking portraits of random people on the streets, it means they're constantly reaching more people through the algorithm and probably many are bots.
Anyways, do whatever you feel like doing. You might create some interesting content for future clients, who knows.

I live in a free aka capitalist country therefore i can buy any dumb luxury i want, i can put thought into the things that matter and enjoy my taking and looking at photographs however i want

but please keep coping over what ultimately amounts to your own budgetary decisions though it's going to get entertaining when you inevitably invent a pseudo-intellectual artistic "ideology" to justify how you spent your money and reconcile it with your need to feel superior to others. surely, your purchases must have been the best ones, because you're the best. everyone else is stupid, wasteful, consoomer, goy, jew, cuck, something something, or maybe poor, dumb, nigger, idk - go on, say a line like that. and prolong the argument. you know you need that attention. such is the life of a narcissist.

>I absolutely fucked my Zeiss Nettar by oiling the mechanism.
How did you apply the oil? Did you just ejaculate oil into the mechanism or what?

>How to I unfuck this?
Disassemble the whole thing very very carefully and clean the oil away. Reassemble using watch oil.

>>4311492

The entire mechanism doesn't need to be oiled only parts of it. Apply some naptha or lighter fluid liberally in that area and try to work it.

The correct thing to do is to disassemble and clean in lighter fluid and lubricate.

>>4311849

This is incorrect many of these leaf shutters actually used molybdenum to lubricate them, watch oil or oil in general is too viscous and will slow the shutter mechanism down.

Usually they are referring to things that don't matter like chromatic aberration, corner softness, and distortion. The fact of the matter is that with a few exceptions almost all lenses made since the 60s have been more than good enough for everything except extremely technical photography.

But as a reviewer you can't say everything is good because then it it's not really a review. So they create artificial product separation where the differences are technically real, but actually meaningless with regard to the photo output. Same goes for autofocus.

Go to small town thrift stores in the midwest and semi-rural areas. They still believe digishits are worth $5. Then start a youtube channel to drive up prices after you've accumulated at least 50 of them so you can sell them for $100 each.
