Article Comment – Sound Off! How Would You Change Your Favorite Movies if You Could?

I would replace Sarah Silverman in School of Rock.

Unfortunately, she's in another of my favorite movies, Wreck-it Ralph. I'd replace her voice in that too.

Can't stand that woman.

Boards Comment – Nikkor 28-45mm

Thanks, Chris. I was hoping it would have the same characteristics as their other primes.

Boards Comment – Nikkor 28-45mm

Right. There's no shortage of videos and information about the prime lenses from that era though, so I was hoping there was something more about this one. I love the feel of those old lenses which is why I was asking. They have a substantial feeling to them instead of the plastic feeling. I ended up buying one.

And since you're basically a legend on here, I'll just ask you directly instead of opening up another discussion. Do you have any experience or advice about keeping gear in a car that's subject to cold or hot temps? I have a really small apartment and want to maximize my space. I would think the c-stands and light stands would be ok in those elements, right? My main concern is lights. I have a 9 bulb Octacool light which is a pretty hefty light and takes up a bunch of space in my apartment if I don't disassemble it. And it's a major pain to assemble. Is that something that would be susceptible to failure in somewhat harsh temperatures (10 degrees to 110 degrees f) or would they hold up to that?

Boards Comment – Nikkor 28-45mm

Thanks, Guy. Those are the only two resources that I found before coming here, too, so obviously it's not a super popular lens. I was just hoping someone here had experience. I think I might get one and test it out though. They're not very expensive.

The Dirties is easily one of my favorite films. Can't wait to see this one!

Article Comment – A Tribute to the Best Cinematic References in Pixar Films

Some of these seem like a pretty big stretch. Most are awesome.
