That's awesome! Is this just for a hobby or is this work also?

I just joined tonight. Many know me from the Facebook pages. I’d like to see the phorum stay alive. It almost feels more private than Facebook. I immediately saw that things are purged after 6 months. We probably shouldn’t do that. That’s how I’ve found most of my collection is from stagnant adds. ...

Nicely done! I never messed with that much power, but how to someday!

That's part of the fun here. These vintage lenses are still fairly cheap! The most I have spent on a lens so far in this endeavor has been around $280, cheapest is 2 lenses for $20. The last auto focus lens I bought for the fuji was around $1k!

Mando let me know over Facebook, since then I have deleted it. Sorry to hear he passed, he gave me a ride from the airport to pick up a truck to drive across the states for another forum member. That was quite a while ago! I know he was suffering, glad he's no longer in pain.

I recently relearned the joy of manual focus prime lenses thanks to the super cheap and super high quality Chinese lenses. The brands I have used are TTartisans, 7Artisans, and Pergear. These super fast (f1.8 and lower) lenses can be had in any camera mount for less than $100 on Amazon. I started wi...

Casey, I think I remember you from the old days.... and DAMN you're old!!!! :P :P :P If I were you, I'd seriously look into a PG Elite.5 while there are still a few around. Plenty of clean SQ power and all under one heatsink. :wink: :wink: :wink: I like the look of that amp! Looks to be about right...

Thats half the fun.

You missed the first half of that sentence, I'll be 42 years old this year! Hell now I need a loud system just to hear it! Lol

I'm not sure how many of you remember me from the days of old, but I'm about to be back! Due to some vehicle shuffling and by the good graces of the wife it looks like I'm about to need a system for a daily driver! The vehicle is still up in the air, but I have a pretty good idea of what I want for ...

Been a while since I posted here but the wife and I just got back from a 10 day trip to Iceland. It was amazing! The entire country is super scenic and everyone was very friendly (and spoke English). Here are a few photos, the rest can be found here: Clicky https://photos.smugmug.com/Travel/Iceland-...

The wife and I got home last night from the trip as it was FANTASTIC!! The Columbia River Gorge was awesome, Portland was great, and the coast was breathtaking!! We met up with Brian and his lovely wife for dinner and drinks on Tuesday night and had a great time! Pics to follow and I'm sure we will...

Then we got to the coast. HOLY FREAKING S#&*!!! The coast was so damn scenic it was stupid. We seriously had a 6 hour drive from Portland to our camping spot the next day and it took us about 11 hours. Every time we would come around another corner we would pull over and take more pics! The firs...

The wife and I just got back from an epic (to us) adventure to Oregon and down the coast. The plan was simple, camp in the Columbia River gorge for a few nights, spend a couple of nights in Portland in a hotel, two more nights camping on the coast, then one more night in Reno, NV about half way home...

Bumping this up! We will be in Portland Monday through Wednesday if anyone wants to meet up for dinner. Shoot mm a PM and let's meet up!

We tried to make Labor Dabor, but the stars just wouldn't align for us. Hopefully we can still meet up with a few of you if you are available! And Tom, Wendy, the baby (that is not so much a baby anymore) and Paul should totally come down for a night and meet up!! Either that or we will have to make...

are you ther any longer? I live ther 9yrs and can give the skinnies on the good clubs to hit at night and the amazing trails durig nthe day. Nope, but we plan on visiting again before it gets stupid hot down there! It was a great trip and we want to explore the area more so spill the beans!! :mrgre...

Thanks! The tent was STUPID comfortable. Kind of a PITA to set up for the first time, but that will get easier. I seriously have never been so comfortable sleeping in a tent. And the annex was plenty big for changing clothes and the such. That was a pretty big selling feature for us. In a pinch we c...

Last weekend the wife and I had a chance to take a quick trip to the Moab area. We were supposed to go down to the San Rafael Swell with the Wasatch Cruisers, but apparently I can't read and the club is not going to the swell until next weekend. So, we were all packed up and decided to head down to ...

We hear that Portland is a foodie town so we are open to whatever for food. Neither of us drink beer, the wife likes wine and I'm a spiced rum guy.

Campgrounds and hotels are booked!! We will be camping in the Columbia River George from June 10th to the 13th, then off to Portland and the Paramount Hotel for a couple of nights. After that we will head off down the coast spending a night at Devil's Lake and another night at Redwood State park. Fr...

I got this yesterday. I'm not sure even the hardcore Star Wars fans will get this! Lol

Dates are still wide open. We were thinking sometime in June but are open to suggestions!

Yes sir! I think I still have the plans. If not I still have the box I built! I just can't bring myself to throw it away or break it down even though I haven't used it in years! Lol
