Sony A7RII versus Nikon D810. What's wrong with this?
In article , Me wrote:
RichA: Looking at the two of them, using them. Anyone wonder why the Sony costs as much as the Nikon? Because it sure doesn't seem like it should. The Nikon just screams quality, from the body to the button and switch quality. The Sony seems like an increased size version of their APS bodies. I'm probably wrong, I don't know what the relative costs are, but it's just what it seems like. Sandman: The Sony has more of a quality feel to it, with its metal body instead of the plastic in the Nikon. The Nikon, of course, is more comfortable to hold and use, and more logical controls. To each his own -- Sandman Rich A: Which part of the D810 is plastic? Sandman: The body. You know, the part made of plastic. It's pretty hard to miss. It's metal. It comes out of the foundry with sharp corners and looks just like a Sony, then fettlers get to work with files and sandpaper and work for hours just to make them look like plastic. Most of the surface material is plastic: http://nikonrumors.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Nikon_D800_Mg_body.jpg -- Sandman |

Ducktape, or duct tape, leaves a sticky residue when removed. Gaffer tape does not. Ducktape, or duct tape, provides a more secure adhesion. When used as intended, to seal joints in ventilation ducting, duct tape is not removed too often. Gaffer tape is, as you said, a temporary fix. Don't forget there are military grade tapes, which are true general purpose. However, OD might not be too attractive on a cmera body. http://catalog.berryplastics.com/products/adhesiv/duct-tape/adhesiv54231 Then there are the tapes for wind protection. Those are a tad stickier. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Wind/Energy/Products/Wind_Protection_Tapes/ -- Regards, Savageduck |

(that keeps this OT for photography) The said purpose was masking unwanted insignia and logos on your gear, right. Some folks, for instance thinks that the red bird of Nikon distracts the humans among their subjects, just like the red dot of Leica... Others think that that kind attention is good for their photography... There are those that have little plastic ducks as props, for the same reason... YMMV ;-) I have a chickenwire seclusion in my basement and thus no problem with escaping victims and such! -- teleportation kills |

snip Whoa, there. Check out the facts. Revolite, then a division of Johnson & Johnson, developed an adhesive tape with a duck cloth backing to seal ammunition cases during WWII. People later found that it could be used to seal openings in ductwork and called it "duct tape". But, the original name was "duck tape". The term "duct tape" is used more because there is more application today in sealing ductwork than in sealing ammunition boxes. "Duck cloth" and "duck canvas" goes way, way back. The term was used to describe a woven fabric and comes from the Dutch word "doek" meaning "linen canvas". Today, the product is sold as either "duck tape" or "duct tape" depending on the seller's decision of what to call it. Neither is an error. And unfortunately, Duck brand cloth tape and the generic cloth/canvas tape are now a poor choice for sealing ductwork, especially heating ducts. A better choice is a foil tape, designed for ductwork. -- Ken Hart |

(that keeps this OT for photography) Strapping tape sold for packaging works well for that. It has nylon(?) threads running the length of the tape, and is very difficult to tear across the threads. Although cable ties work well too. -- Ken Hart |

'Duck tape' is the original name because it was made from canvas-duck fabric. ('Duck' fabric can be either cotton or canvas.) According to Wikipedia the first duck-tape was made by Revolite, a division of Johnson & Johnson. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panning_%28camera%29 -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
