I’ve been involved in theater for over 50 years of my life. Got my start in theater clubs for the first 25 years; the last several years I was involved in technical theater, sets, lights, sound, playwright and directing. I returned to the stage this month. Having a blast!
These are great.

really liked the area shown in post https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/threads/picture-this.110947/post-1675705
so i ended buying a vacation home there. as we were driving around the tiny town enjoying the sights, it was remarked that it looked like South Park. just few minutes later i saw this painted on one of the stores. I guess South Park it is
this was spotted about halfway from current home to the new one (in front of Chippewa Trading Post).
I guess message to be kind to nature was depicted with moose giving disarmed Freddie Mercury a wedgie.
i guess this is why experienced hunters wear cammo.

Fairplay, CO claims itself as "The Real South Park." It was the closest complete town to the cabin I stayed in in this post. I had to go there several times for stuff like propane, groceries, etc., whatever I couldn't get in Alma. Not my picture but I saw it:really liked the area shown in post https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/threads/picture-this.110947/post-1675705

Coastal BC is having a real winter. Frozen pipes, buried cars and broken limbs included... But it has been a beautiful week if you are not afraid of a little cold spell.
I just had to say I really enjoy this picture, been a fan of film also was a Tech helping a professor at the college take their class to a broadcast or in this case what some here might know as “ Hybrid online, distance education, classroom” it was a challenge to have the student engagment. The idea of film, form and function of theater, what is envolved in the production sequencing. The form or the expressed form of communication between audience and actors.
The picture in and of itself show a really fun group of folks having a great time exposing theater on a local level yet at the same time, it doesn’t have to be done by a big corporation and that it can grow orgainically to amuse others with like minds. It seems you are having as much doing it as those who are watching.

Why a picture of a box/pan brake?
Well, I think if you want to post in this thread, there needs to be a picture, right? Well, this isn't about the picture, it's about the camera. The picture is just the first (and currently only) still photo I've taken with it.
I have just acquired the following in a partial trade for a tractor PTO tiller:
Canon EOS 5D Mark II (two focus sensors dead)
Canon EOS 5D Mark IV (whole camera completely dead)
(1) Canon Lithium battery & charger
Assortment of CF cards
(1) 50mm Canon Lens
The Mark II has some miles on it but works as you can see above.
The Mark IV, if I can get it working for cheap, will be the deal of the decade. That camera cost more than the tiller I traded.
I got these cameras to try my hand at making professional-ish videos for YouTube. I also got a Zoom F2 audio recorder and some cheap China studio lighting.
I haven't kept track of what kind of cameras you guys are using, but I'm hoping someone has some experience with these Canon EOS 5D cameras and can advise on a couple of things.
1. Lenses.
I got a single lens with my cameras, 50mm basic lens. I find that in some of the shots I'm trying to take, I need a wider angle. I've looked into Canon EF wide angle lenses and they're rather expensive. Every EF mount lens seems to cost 3x what they cost in other mount styles (EF-S, EF-M, Nikon, etc). Not sure why; official explanation seems to be that it's a full frame camera, but seems every other full frame camera's lenses are cheaper.
I have an early 80's Canon AE-1 35mm film camera that my dad gave me. It uses FD mount lenses, and I have some high quality FD lenses that go with it. I googled "FD to EF lens adapter" and found that such things exist, with mixed reviews (apparently changes the focal length? I don't really know what I'm reading). I ordered one, will see, but I wondered if there's a more readily adapted lens style that will work better with my EOS cameras. An adapter that I can buy that will open the door to using less costly lenses, with less drawbacks than using my 40 y/o FD lenses?
What about these cheap "macro add-on" lenses they sell on eBay for cheap? Supposedly turn an ordinary lense into a wide angle, but it seems it turns it more into a fisheye lens, and I don't want fisheye.
2. EOS 5D MKIV won't power on. Internet says "battery door switch, memory card door switch, motherboard." Previous owner says they took it to a repair shop in Houston who said it needed a new motherboard but refused to install it and recommended sending it to Canon for repair. I tore it down and checked the door switches, they're good. Nothing burt, no smoking gun. Unseated/reseated every connector and ribbon cable. Motherboard costs $700. I know there is more to it than door switches and motherboard, but it's hard to test because the whole camera is one big circuit and you can't test it all taken apart. I'm reluctant to drop $700 because the internet said that's the problem. Any advice? Anyone ever sent a camera in to Canon? How much would they charge for something like this?

I sent a lens to Canon for repair. They contacted me with a quote of $120 to replace the focusing motor. I had them repair it as the lens was worth eight times that.
I would expect they would give you a quote to repair the 5D.
As far as lenses I have a full frame 6D and a 28 to 105 lens on it. I find it an excellent
combination.

You ever get one of those stupid nagging trivial questions that get lodged in the front of your mind and refuse to be dismissed until answered? I've had one for days now.
You remember several years ago there was this camera that came out, got tons of press, and then vanished? Its claim to fame was that everything about the image was editable after the picture was taken; focus, lighting, zoom, etc. I don't remember exactly how it was purported to work, but something like that it would take in light from all focal lengths at once, and that it was stored in special way... I'm tempted to keep trying to explain but I think I'll just get further from the truth.
The camera seemed pretty gimmicky to me. I wasn't then, nor am I now, interested in owning one, I just need to answer the question so it will leave me in peace. I think it was shaped like a cube? Maybe a candy bar? It was nonstandard, whatever the shape.
Anyone have a clue what I'm talking about?
EDIT:
Never mind. As seems to happen quite often to me, I found the answer to my question immediately after asking it, despite having already googled every combination of words that should work, multiple times.
It was the "Lytro" camera.

Well if you get one, be sure to let us know how it works out. I don't recommend it. I suspect you'd have a lot of questions and there is no tech support since the company no longer exists.
