We always try to have Z meet in Toronto, and usually only 3-5 show up :ugh2:

Next Monday the 21st is a holiday and one of the member has planned a 40mins drive, and so far... only 5 has signed-up..... :shakes head:

C'mon GTA Z owners.... :ugh2:

I did manage to play about 3 hours tonight after work... that's why I am checking in at such a late hours... 1:50am... :yawn:[/QUO6TE]

Oh is that what's going on there? Is that what's causing the extreme vignette?
I've seen those lenses in the photography mags, but have never played with one myself.

It doesn't cause the vignette, but a tilt-shift lens will change the depth-of-field of the image, it can also "shift" the position of the subject in the image, imaging you bring two distanced subject to same position in a composition, that's how the call it "shift".

When master it well, it can make an actual scene into a miniature scene
It's a special effect lens, pricy and difficult to master....

Lensbaby does shift... but only the position of the focus, but it can't make up the miniature effect. Those picture are real street and scene.

Nick911sc 05-14-2012 12:26 PM

I've only used one a few times and I never do tilt-shift photography, so you got me there :p

Had angled ones but they were kinda long. The pressure they were applying on the screw wasnt enough. A shorter pair w some good teeth would have been better.

I was amazed by its effect the first time I saw the pic in an album, I didn't know it was from a tilt-shift lens and I was "WTF how did they do that!!??"

One of my friend rented it and play with it for a bit, couldn't master it... cost about $1500 a piece :icon14:

Not $$$ consider it's a special lens but rarely have occasion to use it...

I love the R2C intakes. Plan on doing a before and after dyno? We can never get a straight answer on them...

I'd either get those (if I had definitive info on them as far as dyno results and heat soak) or the new Takeda intake...

I know right! Sorry, no plans for dynos :( and this car would be perfect for it since its bone stock right now. I may look into it though. Thanks for the thought.

I think the g37 forums did a few dynos comparing r2c to Gen 3. The thing I'm interested in iS the heat soak.
