  1. does anyone have any experience with the voigtlander ultron 40mm f/2 lens? (http://www.photozone.de/Reviews/263-voigtlander-ultron-40mm-f2-ii-nikon-mount-review--test-report) - i'm thinking about that or maybe a 50mm f/1.4

    Or just getting the new d7000 whenever it actually gets announced

    I actually just got the Ultron 40mm for my 550D recently but haven't had time to go out and use it besides the test shots I took right when I got it. Suffice to say the image quality is superb and the build quality feels very sturdy - seems like a metal build aside from the plastic caps. The real issues you need to consider are 1) whether you're ok with 40mm since it's not quite 50mm but not quite something much wider. And 2) whether you're ok with the lack of autofocus since its a strictly manual lense. Personally I didn't have a problem with those aspects and I find it valuable as a really compact lens.

    Anyway hope that helps.

  2. Nikon vs Canon is an age-old debate, there's no right answer and there never will be. People just side with whichever brand they own, which is fine. They're both great brands.

    As for HD, its quickly becoming the new standard for upper level consumer cameras so its definitely something worth thinking about. Just know that you don't need to be a wannabe filmmaker to take advantage of the HD video. Sometimes its nice to grab some good looking video for a chance happening, or even to take your still shot one step further by allowing movement within the frame (as in the case of a waterfall or something like that).

  3. Pretty sure this has been addressed at some length in previous topics but anyway. If you're looking for hipster spots, stick with LA.

    Cinespace - well-dressed hipsters

    The Echo (and the whole Echo Park area) - dirty hipsters

    The Smell - dirtier hipsters

    Spaceland (and the whole Silverlake area) - ??? hipsters (never been there)

    Hipster doesn't really exist in OC, the closest thing is the whole Obey/streetwear thing. Not worth going out of your way to see but there's The Crosby and Proof bars in downtown Santa Ana.

    San Diego is ok. North Park / Hillcrest is the hipster area, lots of bars around there like Soda Bar. In the Gaslamp, Voyeur is pretty fun and draws a decent hipster crowd some nights. Again, not worth seeking out if you're already in LA.

    Hope that helps somewhat. Too many usages of that word in one post.

  4. Probably repeating whats been said.

    WAYWT is either ppl wearing shit so crazy it only exists on the internet and you never actually see ppl dress like that on the streets, or ppl wearing shit so normal they look like every random dude on the street and you would never guess they post on a fashion forum.

    Of course every now and then you see some gems where if you saw someone wearing that in the street you'd instantly be impressed.

    But as someone who lurked four years ago it seems like its less gems or crazy shit these days, and more of the normal shit. Honestly maybe being 'fashionable' for the avg dude got big in the past few years and this forum has been flooded with new ppl with shitty looks, whereas in the past members of the forum have been more genuinely into fashion and thus had better looks.

  5. Alpha Pup records has been killing it lately with albums by Nosaj, Free The Robots, Take, and soon to come Dibiase. I know ya'll are familiar with Nosaj but def check out the other guys. Super fresh.
