Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

So camera stuff.

The camera was a Konica Autoreflex. Lenses I've got are:

Makinon 75-250mm f4.5, 67mm diameter
Konica Hexanon 50mm fixed, f1.7, 55mm diameter
RMC Tokina 28mm fixed, f2.8, 52 mm diameter, also has a variable polarizing filter mounted on it.

Everything's in great shape. I dunno about the mounting interchange though. I can bring it all out to Rocktoberfest if you wanna mess with it.
Hmm, cool. I'll have to check on what they used for mounts. I bet that Tokina 28mm is sharp.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I was out in my shop torching and grinding the 8.8 tubes clean when I got a txt from an old HS buddy I havent seen in a while. He asked if I was still doing metal fab and welding and stuff. He told me he's interested in designing and building a custom wheelchair for himself and wants to hire me to do it. He's already got a source for all the regular wheelchair parts (axles, tires, castors, seat) and wants me to make up a badass frame for him. I'm thinking it needs to look like some of Tim Cameron's buggies and have cool tubework and spikes :greensmok
Awesome! :cheers:

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

don't forget big friggin mountains, wildlife, plenty of personal space, the freshest air you've ever breathed (i think the marshall islands had better air, FWIW), good economy, awesome people, good beer, midnight sun, and unfortunately a lot of bugs in the summer.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

you get plenty of that shit in nh, and you not a million miles away from anything and everyone
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

AK sounds pretty much like NH supersized... or NH and CO combined supersized. Too bad I could never find a decent tech job there.

I could find a decent tech job in CO, however. But housing prices are far too high for my liking.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Oh... and my cellphone takes better pics than my camera, at least in my opinion. Truly sad.

Camera:


Cellphone:


The cellphone has no optical zoom (afaik) and takes slightly blurrier pictures, but at least it doesn't do that horrible multicolor mottled "my lens is covered in ghostbusters slime" effect.

no no... when i say mountains, i mean 5k footers with 250' bases right outside the city. a 'big' mountain out there is 8-10k+ with a 750-1000' base. they don't make them like that around here or in CO.

btw, i disagree. the images your camera takes are much sharper. when you come down here next week bring your camera and i'll clean the lens.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

It took pics like that when I had just removed it from its box :( Not sure it's worth cleaning at all.

I only recently found it, I thought it got lost in my move or stolen. Turns out it was under the back seat of my XJ. It is currently coated in dust from fall crawl and requires a date with some compressed air before I even turn it on again.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

i don't know if you can tell, but your cell is neither focused on the ground nor the head gasket. your cell pics are quite obviously cell phone pics. the camera looks like a camera. i don't know if you'll remember, but i'll bet you the flash fired in the pic you posted. if you want a decent camera, watch craigslist for a used point and shoot. you should be able to get a halfway decent one for $30-50.
