Yeah that's exactly what happens. The 85mm 1.8G is really good enough though! I wouldn't want to fudge with focus screens - I managed to cock up a D750 doing that once. Took ages to get it right after.

Really I stopped shooting film in 2022 because of the arrival of CT scanners at airports. Fed up of arguing with people as I do most of my photography out of my home country. And it's expensive. Sold it all, bought a Nikon Z50ii basic kit in 2024 and that was so good and tiny that I sold my D850 and the rest of the F mount lenses. AF on the newer Z cameras is something special, even on the crap bodies. Haven't felt the need to buy an FX Z yet as the DX ones are so good.

I have used the Taylor series approximations to produce the LUT over a defined interval. This may be generated pre-complication or at startup with a defined precision depending on the destination signed type.

Tend to use radians because we're moving from written proofs or simulations into embedded code in such systems. The code needs to read and work the same as those.

I really want something 13 mini sized but the battery life is no good for me. They could fix that with less fat and bloated software but like hell that's going to happen.

The last phone I really liked was my iPhone 6s. Right size, shape and feel. That was incidentally the last phone that had a camera that didn't oversharpen everything too.

Been using Casio watches since 1983. That is exactly what it is for.

You really need a specific focusing screen for manual lenses though, metering or not. The rangefinder in the AF Nikon F/D cameras is absolutely no good for accurate focus unless you really stop down hard (f/5.6+ usually). Decided to just use the AF-D lenses at the time.

He’ll no. It’ll kill you carrying it (had a D3 which is same size/ weight approx).

Actually the 90s ones are generally terrible They are really complicated nests of parts and flex PCBs and cables. Unlike the newer ones, there's usually some older style stuff in there just to screw with you like soldered joints on inconveniently short single wires and glue.

Trick for the F100 is buy 4-5 N80/F80's. They weigh a lot less and if one dies you just get another one out :)

Sometimes you get told what to use. And I am free to dislike it :)

It's painful if you have to work with it and mortals, not kernel devs.

Yeah. I just don't really like git. The user interface is dog shit, merging is nasty, it's really easy to blow your own toes off and it's generally horrible. The only reason it got anywhere was github.

The last subversion server I had was on prem on VMware. There wasn’t any unscheduled downtime in a decade.

That's a very recent change then.

But only 3 in stock and 3x the price of the Apple ones. Good luck!
