Letting go of Fotopro E9H / E-9H gimbal head. Full-box set.
Asking SGD630 (inclusive PayPal fees, excluding shipping).
SGD = Singapore Dollars.
Will ship worldwide.
Shipping not likely to be too pricey.
PM to check.
In beautiful condition.
Pretty much as good as new.
This is the one >>
Fotopro E-9H Eagle Series Gimbal Head, 66 lbs Capacity – Fotopro
Was mainly using it with DA560.
This is a fantastic gimbal head.
Very well designed, very useful.
Letting it go as, due to injuries and much pain in shoulder, elbow, lower back / waist area, i cannot lug heavy loads like i used to.
Need to "ration" (so to speak) my handling of heavy loads.
Hoping it goes to another person who will make better use of it regularly.

Am unable to address all the Qns but will address what i am able to.
1) i use the 15450 with K33 mostly (and before that, with K1).
(Note, in order to shorten it a bit, i term the lens as "15450").
2) i use it handheld, all the time.
Ever tried using with Monopod.
Simply too much of a hassle.
3) no Peak Design this or whatever.
Just hold it via the tripod foot.
Honestly, you will get used to the weight in very short time.

errrrrrr.
think some misunderstanding here.
What it is, is such that.
It is actually a pair of binoculars.
BUT.
Pentax designed it such that.
It could be split up physically, such that, for example, you and a few friends are out on a trek / hike.
You have this particular binoculars.
You split it up.
It becomes two physically separate monocular / scope.
And in an instant, you use one scope, your friend uses that "other scope".
Two physically separate thing.
Each pax using a single scope, derived from one single pair of binoculars.

I have that Pentax monocular.
Very compact piece of gear.
Very easy to use.
Optically excellent.
One downside for me was the "adjusting focus". Maybe my palm kind of big and etc and i find it that wee bit difficult adjusting focus.
Depending on person's way of use.
Some might find it easier to use a small compact binoculars than use that Pentax monocular.
Pentax does produce a small compact binoculars which they designed it such that you could "split it up" and then have what will effectively be two monocular / scope.

This was with the MZ-S, FA77 and Portra400.
I deliberately wanted this angle, to see how it will turn up. Love it.

post here two of same image.
The colour-image is the original, as this image is from Portra400 (snapped with FA77).
Other than cropping and small adjustments on some parameters using just SnapSeed on cellphone, nothing else elaborate was used.
The black-white image came about via exploring turning the colour-image into bnw using just the phone's default image processing app.
I actually prefer the BnW version :)

Hi everyone.
Just wanted to share images of this very versatile model (Trista) that i engaged for photoshoots recently.
I find her very versatile, like a chameleon. She can pull it off with different kinds of attire, settings, moods etc.
All these images are film images.
In order to be as accurate as i can in my recollection of the information, i will post the images one by one, over some time, and elaborate on what was done on the images.
For all the shoots with Trista, i used the Pentax MZ-S, with either the FA77 or FA43.
The films used include Kodak Portra160, Portra400 and TMax400.
Call me odd, but i dislike capturing people images using digital.
Much prefer film.
I am unable to explain it, but film gives me that "feel" that i somehow just do not get it with digital.
I hope you all will like the images shared here, and maybe pique your interest to give film a try as well.

I do honestly think it might be asking for too much to have them produce adapter that can adapt AF-D lenses to Z bodies as well.
As for the Qn on K-1, D850 etc.
I use D850 and K-1
The K-1 has MUCH superior thought given to its design.
With the K-1, pretty much can just use my left palm and that's it.
That's why i can never understand why Nikon persisted with their stupid design of an entire column of buttons on the left-side of the cam body (for that range of cams).
What sets K-1 apart from D850?
(1) superior design. Proper thought and consideration given to placement of buttons etc.
Nikon is absolutely dumbass poor on this aspect.
2) extremely easy to understand and grasp and navigate the Pentax menu system.
I am not kidding.
My first Pentax digital body is K-1.
I did not have any prior experience with the others.
When i first got the K-1 (about 4-5 yrs ago), i really did not have to check up on any instruction manual and i could figure it around, the menu.
Nikon?
Let's not even get started.
If i give Pentax menu a score of 9/10 for ease of understanding, grasping and using.
Nikon will be a 3/10
3) the K-1's implementation of that Lunar struts screen.
That is absolute genius.
D850?
Doesn't even come 10feet close.

Hmmmmm.
1) the FTZ and FTZ2 adapters are actually fine as they are.
Fact that Nikon actually did a FTZ2 is quite something. They could have just came up with the FTZ and that's it.
And thats why am quite impressed that Sony even did up to LA-EA5.
2) sex sells (and in this case, "sexy sells").
And "sexy" in this case means, the latest greatest most fanciful.
Cameras need to be sold.
Stores / shops need to sell cameras and lenses (else they don't make profit and will struggle to exist).
In current day situation, that means they need to sell to whoever is stepping into "enthusiast photography" for the first time, and they need to sell the latest greatest most fanciful to these newbies.
Nevermind that these newbies, 80% end up being enthusiastic for the first 6 to 12 months, perhaps 18 to 24 months max), and then, that's it. The gear gets chucked into dry cabinets and sits in there unused for yonks and then Later gets sold as preowned gear.

Very nice snap.
It looks as if it has this air about it like a snooty tooty.
Which camera and lens was this?

That ultra quick burst of flash helps freeze motion (be it our shake motion or etc).

Same.
I have an AF080C listed on Marketplace here.
But i reckon, shipping from Ireland (to USA) be cheaper than from Singapore.

i am on TAV, forever and ever, amen.
(Upper iso limit is iso1600)
The way Pentax's TAV mode is, i will never ever bother using anything else.
The way Nikon goes about its equivalent of TAV mode is just so bloody difficult to understand (to me), it is very frustrating.
The way Pentax does it, its so very simple, it is like MAGIC.

Thanks a lot guys.
Glad that you all enjoyed it.
There's just something about film images (of humans) which, i don't know how to describe, i just much prefer it over digital images.
