It was around £200 so yeah you got quite the bargain there!
Nice shot. I do like an old school boardwalk. I might shoot a UK one when I go back in a few weeks for comparison!
Could be a bluff though and the "mystery" element is how on earth I made a RED look that cheap!

Nice.
It will be North West coast and is very similar to your edge of shore shots actually.
It will likely be on the mystery camera as I will be in desperate need to pad out my entry!
It varies so its best doing an "x vs y" google search for the specific lenses.
In general, a lot of them do share the same optics but the further complication is the vintage of them and the variance that can bring in terms of the life they've led.
The only sure way I suppose is to buy mint versions of both, test them and sell the loser!
 

Please do, I’d love to see Brighton, or wherever, from the view of a Leica... or maybe a Micro?
Here’s another one from the Nikkor 28mm f/2...

Its unfortunate that it produces more noise than an AC/DC gig.

I was in a used gear shop in Tokyo and they had a 35mm f2, a 50mm f2 and an 85mm f2 at really decent prices and I was thinking "right, I'm going to have an f2 prime set then"....and then I saw the price of the 28mm and 135mm and the moment passed 
I wouldn't rule out me being able to make it sing like Britney without Autotune by the way.

Here’s a frame from one of the cheapest lenses around... Nikkor 50mm f/2. The lens is fairly sharp and contrasty wide open but since this is was a wide angle shot, I stopped it down to f/2.8...

Wow those look awesome.

So I had a quick go with the £28 CCD camera yesterday and managed to get a film look out of it.
Unfortunately the particular film it looks like is the Zapruder one

 
Yeah, after looking at stuff I shot yesterday even on the lesser of the two evil cameras, I'm now regretting not giving in to my darker side and "buying" that 4K camera
I'm also regretting not noticing the auto ISO was set to ON which as I had a vari-ND on was merrily ramping up the ISO to counteract every reduction I was doing.
Every shot before I noticed it (which was about 70% of the total) has a swarm of angry red and green mosquitos buzzing around in it.

what i want to know is how you know their class A ?  did  you shoot a " documentary " so to speak ? ?

Just pointing out that the instructions were as an illustration for the, erm, low cost "tribute" edition of the Hydrophobia that Kye has got rather than recommending the using the actual class A drug containing bag pictured

This is how its done on a ThinkTank Hydrophobia so you will need to replicate this.

 
At its most basic level then, you can do this in a DIY fashion by removing the EVF cup and cutting a hole in the plastic cover to snugly fit around the EVF that the removal of the cup has exposed but keeping the mounting rails for the cup exposed.
Then when you want to use it, you remove the EVF cup, press the cover onto the camera and slide the EVF cup back on and the overhang from the cup will hold it in place.
As I'm being extra helpful this morning, I have just produced this handy guide illustrating that poorly described process via the medium of a Fuji X-T2, a plastic bag and some scissors  

He doesn't deserve it?
RED have accused him of all sorts in a court case that had been running for nearly 3 years that has now been dismissed.
A company owned by a multi-billionaire trying to bully a tiny operation out of business based on absolutely bogus claims and he's had to keep his mouth shut about it?
I think he deserves to be able to make it into a 5 part mini-series after all that.
Not to mention be bought a drink by everyone who will benefit from what he has laid out there.
 

To be fair to him, he's only repeating the truth with the same frequency as his accusers were repeating the "alternative facts".
