IIRC the Tough mount was/is a fotodiox product so I would trust it over a no name Chinese adapter. But you have to wonder if the original mount got damaged and the replacement isn't sitting correctly. The a6000 was the chief recipient of the Tough mount from what I remember.

There can be a huge difference between what a good pre press tech can pull out of a large format trannie using a drum scammer and what someone can get out of an enlarger.

I don't know if you're finding this or if it's just me but I'm finding WordPress is getting as bad as Instagram. For every 100 followers 98 only follow you in the hope you will follow them back.

I shoot digital the same way as film but take less shots with digital no longer needing to make in camera dupes.

Continue to grow my main blog and take Instagram more seriously. I have clients, editors and business contacts following me on Instagram but I refuse to take part in the "you follow me if I follow you" B.S. so popular nowadays.

It's just someone dressed as a nun. A real nun would be using a real tripod.

The thought of using one at -40° is quite amusing.

I suspect that the Nikon version will probably be closer to the specs marked on the barrel of the lens. Having to manufacture and polish elements for a true 300mm f/2.8 has to be more expensive.

Actually, pew, pew is the sound made by laser blasters according to Bernadette in The Big Bang Theory.

I wasn't sure "oh yes he is" was right. I managed to mangle "oh yes it is" with "he's behind you" Anyway, the real definition of a pantograph is a measurement of how much you pant when reaching the post box on the corner after the Christmas and New Year excesses.

A pantograph is for plotting how out many times the audience say "oh yes he is" in each performance.

There's a Zonlai 22mm f/1.8 that I think is available in Fuji mount. There's also various 25mm lenses in Fuji mount plus the Samyang 21mm. There's lots of 35mm lenses, I have the 7artisans 35mm f/1.2 and the Meike 35mm f/1.7 plus a CCTV lens and a couple of legacy 35mm lenses.

I realise that. I had every issue of Camera and was featured in it after it became Creative Photography. You would have to have paid me to read Practical Photography. In those days it was: BJP for job postings AP for the classifieds Camera for photography

Camera magazine was head and shoulders above the competition at the time. It was the one many photographers aspired to have a portfolio published in.
