Best variable extension tube ever. Length varies as you twist it. I have seen a helicoid extension tube on ebay and wondered what is it and what does it do?

Good for slide copying etc. The Pentax Slide Copier K actually
has one built in.

A helicopter is a type of rotorcraft in which lift and thrust are supplied by rotors.

I've had two Sekonics just die in the past. The Gossen Digipro F's
(or similar) are much better. Faster than using the camera to take
a reading. Aperture priority and shutter priority. I've two of them.
Handy that they use a cheap single AA battery.
The contrast range reading at the end of the video is great for
incident light readings say by a window. It shows you the full range
of stops covered.

Flash meters are useful with manual flashes to see if the
power settings 1/2... 1/4... 1/8 etc. are correct or not.....
they rarely are

The best way is obviously test it at a few settings and see which is best. I always use the longest setting.

You all seem to have poor memories on here...... It's only slightly over a year ago that Nikon recalled 200,000 Genuine Batteries that were unsafe Batteries were for 1 V1, D7000, D800 and D800E cameras.
Most 3rd Party ones were safe. Possibly Nikon have noticed
a fall off in sales of Genuine Batteries

Just because someone doesn't photograph.... twigs.... leaves
or grass.. doesn't mean they can't have a FF.

Some nice wide angle shots there, which illustrate POV/perspective
which can only be obtained with a WA lens.... unfortunately most
people on here can't see that
The elliptical shape on the lamp on shot 2 isn't a lens fault it's
caused by the vanishing points for the perspective view falling
either within the frame or very close to the edge... a feature of
WA views.

It's widely accepted that FF will have a shallower DOF than
APS-C, which shows up as extra bokeh. Unfortunately that also
means that (statiscally) more shots taken on FF will be OOF
Manual focus will also be more difficult.
