Steve commented on the Sony Alpha camera and how the lens flares out. Not that I’m in the market for a new camera, that knuckle-pinch area really bothered me when I held a friend’s Sony a7. Everything else may be 100%, but I agree with Steve that I would have trouble getting over the “knuckle-pinch” for any period of time.

Don, you brought back memories of watching my dad punch out stereo slides from vacations. I have acquired his View Master equipment when we cleared out the house a few years ago. I still have the camera and special die cutting tool that (after aligning the film & with the press of a lever) would perfectly punch out the pair of frames. He would then use a special pair of tweezers to insert them into a View Master reel. The items are in storage; waiting for me to have the time to evaluate the functionality of it all.

Dad would always shoot Kodachrome (probably 25). I remember that half way through the roll he would have to set a lever and shoot the second half winding the film back into the cartridge. Most of his pictures were underexposed.

He also had the 3-D projector that required us to put on the polarized glasses. The kids hated having to sit around for this.

Yes. I don’t know how many times have I heard on this show that Canon cameras don’t have interval timer built in. If that is not a lie, it as a falsehood. And I think it’s a shame that it has been repeated so many times on this show.

Also STM has nothing to do with fulltime manual focus override. I have 2 lenses with STM and the cameras can be configured that you can override the autofocus any time with the focus ring even when the AF is turned ON.

But the focus ring is not directly connected to focus mechanism. So when turned off, you can not focus manually.

And I don´t think that single photon can hold enough energy to generate multiple electrons. I think the energy must come from somewhere else.
