You've got the sony, right? See if you can find the minolta maxxum 500 f/8 mirror lens. It autofocusses, and does a pretty good job. Barring that, beg borrow or steal the longest lens you can, preferrably 300 or longer.

happy birthday Shelly! Glad our raucous gathering outside your door in LA caused you to show up here...

If it's anything like denali, my recommendation is to bring a REALLY wide lens and a REALLY long lens, with a teleconverter. And a tripod.

airplay video is only atv2 airplay audio works fine on atv1 You can stream to the atv1, just not from mobile devices. For me, that's not a big deal, because everything's already on my server, so I stream it from there.

Shouldn't greg have to bring the winery as a dowery?

colin isn't fucking around. I guess I shouldn't fuck around either. Talisker 18

Is that greg's bike?

the 16 and the voigtlander are closer. The 18-55 is a zoom, which the voigtlander isn't at all.

the livid boxes inspire major gadget lust in me and I don't even have a real use for one.

Just spring for the kit. You can get a voightlander 15mm f4.5 lens for $500 on ebay for example. Add $20 ish for the L39 adapter, and you're golden. But really, I think the kit lens will do what you want on this trip, and you're WAY under budget. Maybe get both kit lenses. Some people aren't big fans of the 16mm lens, but considering the cost, it's still a good value.

They only have black in the 26mm nato 5 ring, so that's what I got. I'll get an orange one and an olive one from somewhere else.

I got a NATO too.

with a centipede in it. ugh

the nex5 with the kit zoom is fairly wide and takes great pictures. and with that budget you can get an adapter and great old rangefinder glass too for when you REALLY want a nice picture.

I think every Stillwater beer I've tried is pretty darn accessible. They're also pretty darn good.

The problem in short: you didn't compare it to anything not in it's price category, but you say it shames mythical products that are more expensive. Who really gives a fuck if a $100 dac sounds better than a $150 dac, if both sound like shit?
