LOL. I’m a recovering purist. You should try it. The actual fact is that my images will quickly become irrevocably compromised after a few dings to my front element. And if you aren’t exposing your front element to a few dings then you need to find another hobby. ;). With all due respect. Which means as much as you’ve shown me. ;). How banged up is your keyboard by the way?
If you look at Shatner's early movie and TV work, before Star Trek, he didn't "over act". I read somewhere that Roddenberry actually directed Shatner to play the Captain Kirk character that way, the way Shakespearean actors over emphasize movement and speech in live theater. Shatner has joked that acting that way has become so successful for him that he has become a parody of Captain Kirk and he is laughing all the way to the bank because of it.
Back in the 70s, I saw William Shatner in a play at the Westport Country Playhouse. For the life of me, I cannot remember the name of the play, but William Shatner made his entrance from the bathroom, wearing a bathrobe. I don't mean that he literally made his entrance from the bathroom of the theatre; it was part of the play. Around that time, I found myself at the Improv comedy club in NYC, and someone actually told this joke: "Why did Captain Kirk crap on the ceiling? He wanted to go where no man had ever gone before!"
As a young unknown, Shatner had a small part in an excellent Canadian TV production of Oedipus Rex. It's available on YT. Even though like all the actors, he wore a full mask, and he spoke only a few lines, his voice was unmistakable. Not unlike Star Trek, that production also called for extremely expressive acting, and it worked beautifully. I can imagine that he brought much of what he learned there to Star Trek.
I was born in 1961 and began my imitations of people just a few years later. It all started with Shatner when I was 6 years old. It was one of the big reasons why, beginning in Junior High, the other kids started calling me Belushi. Oh those halcyon days of yore. I've got my diploma from the William Shatner School of Overacting around here somewhere. Aaahrg, my place is soooo messy. I can't find anything!!! 2:53
Thanks, I was under the assumption that with a 77mm lens thread you want to use the 95 mm kit with 77mm to 95mm step-up ring. this way you don't get lens vignetting if you need to stack CPL with ND filters.
Yeah but if the idea is to leave them on all the time then this becomes too cumbersome to manage and I can’t use my normal lens hoods. They don’t make magnetic step ups or that might work. Instead what I plan to do is go with magnetic UV filters so I can easily take them off when I want to stack NDs. This should eliminate the vignetting issue in all but the most extreme cases. The only issue with that is that I have to be careful not to pull off the UV every time I remove the magnetic lens cap. Then again, maybe I go back to stick lens caps. But I do like the magnetic ones.
There are magnetic step up rings now available. They are more expensive than the regular, threaded step up rings and not easy to find on their shop site.
Thanks much for the vid up close to the filter connection area. It's a weird connection scheme with how it twists into place. I have a VST and main fuel filter (vertical clear plastic bowl) in the mail now. I'll take my time, take pictures, and use only hand tools. As for priming the VST, I saw another video where the guy said the fuel pump should run when the key is turned to on then shut off when the float switch engages. On that note - it's never mentioned anywhere but with gas dripping and draining some I think it's a very good idea to disconnect the ground cable on the battery before you even start the work. Huge Question to anyone that see's this comment .... On the top lid of the VST unit are various lines coming out. One line kinda off to one side has what appears to be yet another fuel filter..... a large Inline bout 1" diameter it appears. Anyone know what that particular filter is called ? I want to order one. If I'm going in to change 2 other filters I may change that one too.
It’s the medium pressure fuel filter. I was told it needs to be replaced every 3 to 5 years. I order mine from SimYamaha. Part MEDIUM $93.80 PRESSURE FUEL FILTER STRAINER 60V-24251-01- 00
@@caseysaunders2137 good luck. It’s a little bit of a PITA so I’m glad it’s not every year. Then again the VST it a major PITA so I’ll change this every 3-5 so as to avoid the VST. The thing that scared me into being anal about these is that if the VST gets clogged (like mine did) the motor can run lean. These HPDIs are already engineered to run lean. If you run them too lean like with clogged filters you can burn a hole in a piston due to preignition. So I practice the following for good measure: I use a low micron water separator that I change every year. S3220SUL I change the pleated fuel filter under the cowling every year. And I change the metal can filter you asked about every 3-5 years. I hope this keeps me away from the VST filter forever. How did I know the VST got clogged? When I throttled up the engine would big and stall. This is extreme. Never get to this point. I still don’t know if I’ve shortened my engine life.
