Not in my camera bag, but always in my pocket is a Leatherman Wave. And I use it often for all manner of things. :)

No, no ... Yaschicas I'm are scrappy enough to have street cred where a Rollei might just be so "everyone-has-that". You need a Ricohflex or Flexaret to really up your hip-game, depending on which continent you'd like to inherit your authentic swagger from.

Tony's video is full of nonsense, to not use other words. Not advisable to use FF lenses on crop body? Hogwash. As Digitalis said, use whatever gives you the results you want.
The worst offender is the "need" to multiply focal lengths and apertures. Don't forget, this is an advice for APS-C/crop cameras users; they don't know how a lens "behaves" on FF. Nor do they need to.
This nonsense has to go. The question should be: how would those lenses "behave" on APS-C, and the answer is: according to their focal length and aperture (and other characteristics).
So if you'd be getting a 24-70 f/2.8 FF lens, that would "behave" just like a 24-70 f/2.8 APS-C lens, if there was such a thing. You can decide based on your experience with the format you're using, if such a lens is useful or not. You can decide that 24mm is not wide enough without applying any crop factor.
OTOH just these days someone tried to apply "crop factors" to a 70-200, to "compare" it with a 55-300... not his fault, really, but those "equivalence" promoters'. Tony N's video is suggesting such an approach; he's not even trying to avoid this confusion.
Another offender appears when he's getting to the "resolution" comparison. Oh, yeah, you lose all the border detail when you crop the borders out of the picture. :rolleyes:

I replaced my da 15 hood as soon as possible with a pinch cap. The speed of putting screw on caps on and off is either too much of a pain and the cap says off longer than normal, or an impediment to a quick shot, or both.

There is some inconsistency in the naming, unfortunately. Some Super-Multi-Coated Takumar lenses support open aperture metering and some only support stop down metering. You can consult our M42 database for the details. Under "Mount Variant" you'll find the details about how the aperture operates.

One more crackin out from the Rolfix. An interesting study in edge sharpness at wider apertures - this was shot around f16 if IIRC. Sharp throughout.
I've another I need to post up that was shot in Yosemite down at f3.5 (wide open for the folder) and has a crazy huge swirly edge section but tack sharp in the center.
I quite love it... the variation that is.
