In Topic: 6 Reasons Why We Should Ditch the Exposure Triangle

20 April 2020 - 07:10 AM

I've been a Photographer since 1976.  I've never heard of the so called "Light Triangle"  until today.  First when I started we pretty much had a set ISO on the film.  Yes you could push/pull but it was best to use the Proper type film for the job you were going to shoot and consider the end use.  Pretty much in fast moving uncontrolled action we just used the basic daylight exposure the recripcoil of the ASA/ISO at F/16 in bright sunlight and go from there depending of cloudy partly cloudy and on.  If we had time we could use a grey card to set the exposure correctly.  We got excellent results.  The Zone System and different developer solutions were good ways to work also.  Using Hand Held Light Meters were also nice again if you had time.  I now just like shooting Old Structures, Landmarks and other interesting scenic views and portraits.  I have Time to consider exposure and I pretty much will ignore the New Titles for Old Principles.

We bought one Z6 where I work to see how they worked on the handheld stabilization device we have in use.  I got to drive it for a day and just fell in love.  The idea of no Mirror Slapping noise.  When I first started out as a Photographer in the U.S. Navy we were shooting with the Leica M3's and M4's.  Rangefinder but Zeiss Glass and just silent.  You could shoot anywhere and not be conspicuous.  Sharpest Negatives I ever saw from any camera.  I almost cried when I changed duty stations and had to turn it in.  The Z6 is what I'll buy for my next camera.....right after my Harley Trike.

If it isn't memory cards that are not really compatible then I'd say you got a bum deal.  If the camera is still in warranty status try to send it back for that if possible.  There is a Repair Shop in San Diego that I am friends with the owner for many years problem is he as with all other former Authorized repair centers have lost that designation.  He is as honest as you can get.  Kurts Camera Repair you can see him on Facebook.  I just sent on of my cameras there and it's stuck there for the Corona Duration.

OK new to this site but next time I post advice I'll insure the date is current.  DUH.  Too long in quarantine.

I'm sure there is.  Packaging needs to be approved and you most likely will not get them on an airplane.  Best way would be to have them professionally shipped.
