It's about sensor size. A "full-frame" camera has a sensor that's the same size as the image area on a 35mm film camera. The Rebels have a...
Nice piece, but if you don't fix that typo in the title, this thread is going to go seriously off the rails. ;)
If you're using a Rebel, F/11 is probably the sweet spot. I use a 100mm macro lens myself. I found that I started losing detail due to diffraction...
From looking at the image, the coin's fields are in focus about 1/3 of the way down from the top. Everything below that is too close to the...
The main trick is to make sure the lens is perpendicular to the coin. An easy trick, which I've seen mentioned here before: put a small mirror on...
That's not a baby. Wrens always look like that. After all, why do you think they have such an angry, fussy call? They're sick of always being...
I think there's a good chance it will go back below $1300 in nominal dollars. I think there's a very good chance it'll go back below $1300 in 2021...
Even if it were an auction that ended normally, it wouldn't carry the "This listing was ended by the seller" message. If a seller ends an auction...
For many years, credit-card companies (and laws their lobbyists promoted) prohibited merchants from charging a different price for credit vs. cash...
Wow! Defaced coins usually make me sad, but that's fantastic!
What more explanation could there be than "they're a lot harder to find"?
Seems like that would be close to... 8% of all bills, assuming all numbers are printed? A bit higher if they start at 00000000 and don't make it...
It's a little mysterious. The "buyer" left positive feedback, but the listing says "ended by seller because the item was sold". If it had simply...
Did someone accept it at face value?
I'm just glad it's from Germanic (or maybe Celtic?), not Latin. If people were going to remember or venerate me with the honorific "Magicbutt", I...
At face value, I'll accept an 1869 in any condition! :) Heck, my best IHC find was a roll at a pawn shop, and I had to pay twenty times face...
Yep, if you watch new BIN listings coming up on eBay, sometimes you'll see one that's way underpriced. Sometimes the seller meant to list it as a...
It's got enough hits to make me think that it did circulate, but that may not be enough to get it a circulated grade. Since it's a high-relief...
I see sold auctions on eBay up to $5900. It would have been a nice flip, but I'm not sure I needed the heartburn of doing a mid-four-figure sale...
Most people don't want to deal with six pages of bylaws, period, whether they're presented as one document, or separate pages, or separate...
Separate names with a comma.
