Visited the Pacific Pinball Museum today. Here are a few shots of a Jerry Kelley and Christian Marche working machines exhibit with a M9M and LLL 1966.
I went on the 'Bay looking for a Nikon back cap and body cap. The cheapest seller for genuine ones was in Japan. (The Chinaman will sell you all sorts of knock-offs in a variety of colors, also Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature Dude.) For $2.12 with tax I got a body cap and lens cap shipped from Japan inside of 3 days.
Two boxes, with tons of air bags and bubble wrap. The 5D IV/battery grip/85mm were not packed this well (and took longer to arrive from a US seller.)
To be fair, the 5D IV seller was a fuckin' idiot.
I had and almost exclusively shot with an 18-200 for years on my D7000. I'm sure there's better glass, but for a lens that you almost never have to take off the body, I had few complaints. I also understand why, from a professional or even semi-pro perspective, it was criticized.
Nothing more disturbing than sitting in one's back yard sipping a nice Grand Cru, enjoying the scenery then having an intruder slither uncomfortably close by. It kind of ruins the vibe...
I hope this does the trick tomorrow.
