Zach I have the Nikon Filter on a Sony R1 – basically same chip/factor as you have I believe- with no vignetting at 24mm, my widest.Very nice filter and well worth the money IMHO. It’s very slim by comparison to other polarizers I have had and seen. I suspect the larger filter/adapter ring may be your only option at 12mm.
hope that helps
WillZach, I don’t know if this will help you or not, but years ago I bought a nice tiffen 62mm circular polarizing filter for another camera outfit. When I bought my canon gear, I bought a 62 to 58mm adapter ring so I could continue to use the polarizer with the 58mm Canon lenses. I’ve not had any vignetting issues with it on any of the lenses at the widest angles.
You might think about an 82mm polarizer with an adapter ring. ???
I’ve heard stories of people catching HUUUUUUGE Gar, (Alligator Gar?) in the New River, WVA. Could this
Ones I have used and have been happy with:
B&H (usually my first choice for main equipment)
KEH (used equipment)
Amazon – (I use them for related gear and assessories)Porters Camera – Perhaps overlooked because prices tend to be high, but they are in the midwest, service is good, and they carry some specialty or different stuff sometimes. Check them for assessories.
Zach:
I’d buy my slide film from B&H. Velvia is about $5.50 a roll and Provia $3.50.
I’d usually buy 20-40 rolls to get the bulk price and to save on shipping. Store it in the frig or the freezer. I’ve used their A&I film mailers and the service and quality is good. It just takes a while from California.
The Slide Printer in Denver also has good service and they used to pay postage. You may have a quality mail lab on the east coast there.
Only ever lost one roll of film and apparently it was the post office’s fault. But it had the best sequence on it of a heron swallowing a fish I had ever taken. :'(
For those with time on their hands
http://www.uselessaccount.com/Wall Street Journal had an article on this site. Pretty funny.
Mike:
It is a bargin, especially for light use or a backup, but see john or buzz’s comment (sorry I can’t remember who) under moosedog’s thread about not being able to hang big lenses off it. I think Joel just bought one. So he should chime in.
I would hold off on Canon DSLR right now until they announce (about March 8th) what new lines are coming out. Probably will not include a new consumer grade body, but there have been rumors. The price drop of another $100 on the street price may signal something too.
I enjoyed seeing you and the conversation.
Yeah, we’ll talk Spey flies another time.
Glad you got to get him on the river for a couple of days. I was hoping to get out today, but winds here are gusting over 40 mph.
Cool Zach. I drive through Alabam all the time taking a short cut from Rogers to Harrison. Did you know Turpentine Wildlife park is just up the road on HWY 23 about 15 miles going towards Eureka? They take in all manner of big cats from pet owners and circuses, etc. [By the way you can pay them to do photo shoots with tigers. Let me know if you are ever interested, maybe we could get a 2 party discount for an arm and a leg
Hey guys! This is my 1st post and an appropriate thread for it. I only fish cane, anyweather, any kind of fish. I have an old Pezon Parablic for bass and larger trout fishing and a Orvis Battenkill for w/DT5 for just about everything else. Man, it’s good to see people getting into cane again! I’ve built a few graphite rods for people and lately I’ve been thinking about a cane blank… Anyway good to be on this forum!
Just to be clear to prevent misunderstanding, I’m not at all disputing anybody’s account. Growing up on Crowley’s Ridge in the 50s, my dad scared me numerous times with panther stories and I’ve heard a bucket full since. Some may be true, some probably bunk. That’s beside the point.
It is a very large mountain lion leap to go from stories of sightings or even a confirmed sighting a year to assume we have established breeding populations [speaking of the Missouri facts and figures]. Yeah? Nay? Poppycock?
The pdf file is a reprinted article from Missouri Wildlife that appeared last summer. Interesting that Missouri has a team to investigate reports and sightings. It’s a little more recent than the 2004 file in your post.
I’m skeptical of a breeding population. If the biologists aren’t willing to say so, I don’t see how we can say it is the case. The newsletter article your AGFC contact mentioned may have been:
http://www.mdc.mo.gov/cgi-bin/news/arc11-2006.html. It is the regular weekly media newsletter.Interesting to speculate, but I still choose to make a distinction between confirmed scientific evidence and rumors and stories. I don’t know that 10 confirmed sightings in ten years is significant of anything. Apparently the scientists aren’t sure either.
Here is a Missouri Department of Conservation fact sheet on mountain lions.
