How to hold a Quattro

[Rob MacKillop]

Interesting points re camera shake:

 

[Pete Askew]

And, does that work for you, Rob?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, that's how I've been doing it. I do get more stable hand-helds than I used to. I like the design very much. Sigma seem to always have a good reason for choosing the road less travelled.

What did we do before Utube? I know some of the factors of the form was to disperse the heat, then they needed a larger battery hence the larger side. I've not seen a problem with the form and looks ok to me. Must try one sometime

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Just hop on a slow train to Edinburgh, Julian. I'll have three of them to play with by the time you get here!

Would if I could Rob. I do look on a regular basis in the hope they drop in price like the Merrills did. The days have long gone where I spend a few grand on a camera. In other words I am brasic for photography gear

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Brasic?

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Brasic?

Yes brasic for camera gear have other priorities, like children at Uni

 

[Pete Askew]

Boracic lint - skint! Often spoken as 'Brassic'.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Understood, Julian. That's why I'm part exchanging. Cost me £0 for two Quattros, although I no longer have my medium format gear, or the F4 and lenses.

Thanks, Pete, for the explanation!

 

[Pete Askew]

These Cockneys, eh!

By the time it got too Cornwall they'd lost the odd letter and became Brasic

 

[Pete Askew]

These Cornish, eh?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Not as bad as the English

What, you sold my old rugged 28mm?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Actually, no. I gave it charity. Some poor fellow or fellowess will appreciate it, and the charity will make a little bit of money. Hope ok?!

If true, accepted.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheek!

Now I have learned to hold it right. Now all I have to do is to find a one to practise on! Then a quattro 0 may be an option if I find that I can hold it right eh?
