It's so easy to make a fool of this clown...watch.
Captain Scum forgets that normal 35mm on a 1.5 crop factor DSLR brings
it beyond 50mm....above normal and a telephoto, though barely.

Wrong again. Zooms are broken down into FL ranges...wide telephotos,
standard zoom and long.
You know nothing because you own nothing. On a DSLR the 17-35mm just
misses being a standard on the long end. Zoom refers to the action,
dopey, not the range.


Utter, pish-slavering ********! A 17-35 is a wide zoom. Calling it a wide
telephoto was an oxymoronic pooch-screw that was all yours. A telephoto - by
definition - is a lens that's longer than a standard lens. A lens with a
17-35 range factored up by 1.5 has an effective range of 25.5-52.5 - only
9.26% of its zoom range is beyond 50mm - and you call that a telephoto?!?
According to you, a 25.5mm lens is a telephoto!!!! You'll be claiming you're
a photographer next!

If I hadn't fished you out of that LIS cess pool, I'd have you skewered and
sizzling by now. Oh! You *are* skewered and sizzling! Good job I ain't

The shot has to match their layout and artwork. It's not about artistic

While Nutsy goes ON & ON about lenses, most of us do get very decent

I store my camera on a Dock, which is a charger and printer; Lord only

Thom:

Everyone's life has an underlying "theme". It's what they are and there is
no escape. Nutsy has a "racing" sailboat - will he ever race it? No, he just
brags about it. He's got these super duper AWD SUV's. Will they ever be used
to their potential? No? He has all this camera equipment. Are his pictures
that good? No. He has a big telescope - in a pollution shrouded wasteland.
The list just goes on and on.
These material possessions are substitutes for something he can never have.
It's all symbolic for what is wrong at Nutsy's core. That's why I out troll
him every time. That's why he has to fight to justify everything about his
life, including his hodge podge of also-ran camera gear. He's seeking
validation from everyone but not from the one person who can truly give it.
That's why his telescope is third rate and his boat is one huge blister
devoid of character. If his home theater set up was any more hokey he'd be
better off with a viewmaster and 45 RPM records. He will have all of
eternity to contemplate amongst the fires and lava in hell why his life on
earth has led him to the sulphurous netherworld below.

Actually, it's mostly a lot of noise with the express purpose of funding
Bob's own agrandizement as a troll. I have nothing against Bob in
particular, but it's just not worth reading, as it's never ending and mostly
boring. The threads Bob starts are mostly about himself, how he's superior
to everyone else in every way. For threads that he doesn't start, his major
contributions are to put someone else down, which is fuel for other trolls
and sick individuals. It's rare that he actually has something interesting
to say about sailing. I've been reading them for years. No more.

All that the "undercarraige" protection does is bend up into the suspension
and drivetrain when you scrape across something. Plastic skidplates are even
more of a joke, as much as the "Outback" in the real outback:

There are all kinds of off road applications out there and the Outback

The Landcruiser had 1/8" steel skid plates. I pulled them because they kept
bending into the driveshaft. The transmission did not have a skid plate,
except for a little bendy thing. My trusty LC went up both the Como Lake
Road (Colorado's worse!) and Elephant Hill (Utah's worse) at night!

It is a truly amazing Landcruiser!
