Nice!
I got a question about filters.

Polarizer vs ND for landscapes/cityscapes, which one is te better choice as a first filter.
And screw on vs the ones you slot on.

[Chris@RegencyPB]

Thank you!

As for Nd or Polarizers, to be honest they are used for two different purposes so having both is great! Nd Filters make for a longer exposure, as in 30 second exposures during the Day and Polarizers can saturate the image more by eliminating unwanted reflections

I prefer threaded filters but I know alot of people use the cokin 4x4's as well

My recommendation would be to get a decent Circular polarizer from Hoya!

If I only I had a tripod and filters on hand at the time.

Very Nice!

So tonight I invested in some Cokin PGraduated ND filters I bought the holder, a 2 stop grad and a 3 stop grad. I have a 9 stop light craft ND filter and a hoya Circular polarizer so I should be pretty good on filters now.

[H all day]

Does anyone have a Leica here?

[Chris@RegencyPB]

Not that I know of but I could be wrong haha

[Nobben #44]

Don't think so, if anyone did I think we'd hear a lot more of it.

About how the lens are so much nicer, and that the images are sharper.

I reallyyyy want an M9

[Blade of grass]

I would rather spend that much on a D4 and a 24-70 or 14-24.

Leica has no features whatsoever. I'd much rather get a Fuji X Pro 1.
If you're gonna get a leica, get an M3. Why anyone would buy a digital Leica is beyond me. Ruins the whole aesthetic about the brand.

If you want performance a DSLR from Canon or Nikon is a lot better. leica optics aren't that much better.

NASA Earlier tonight launched a rocket into the edge of space to release a chemical tracer to record data on wind speed and turbulence at the edge of space. The picture below is of the chemical tracer

That is awesome! how did you build that?

[Trum_15]

hey nobben did you have any focusing issues with the d7000? it seems like it back and front focus.

[Nobben #44]

Yep, some of them have som issues from the factory. I'd reccomending sending it in as it's a known thing with them.

[Chris@RegencyPB]

Stig do you own the Samyang 14 2.8? My budget for a new camera has changed a bit so I am now looking at a D700, Nikkor 50 1.4D and am looking now for a good wide angle.
