"Minority shithole" is a bit harsh... I spend a lot of time in Newark and it is a much better place than it was twenty years ago.

There's a blog I enjoy that covers this sort of issue very frequently. It's interesting to see a hard data approach to explaining some of the municipal funding problems that are brewing nationwide. https://granolashotgu

Do you have a source for that? I can't find anything supporting it.

The f-number is a ratio, not a specific diameter. f/16 is not the same between a 4x5 lens and a 35mm lens of equivalent angle of view. A 90 mm lens at f/16 has an entrance pupil diameter of 5.65 mm, while a 28 mm lens at f/16

Could this be accomplished at the storage level instead of at the camera level? Could an SD card have an onboard encryption engine? We have cards with built-in wifi already.

Camera bodies aren't what you want to be investing in anyway; it's lenses. After a few years the body is basically disposable as far as resale value is concerned, if the body is even still working. Today's entry level cameras

Regarding your aside, if you develop black and white at home, there are kits to develop C-41 and E-6 at home as well. They're as easy as any standard black and white process.

A lot in Staten Island was once used to store uranium ore for the Manhattan Project. A recent survey found very high levels of radiological contamination. https://fopnews.wordpress.com/2010/09/14/staten-island

I get mine shipped from Mt. Baker in 8 oz bottles (about $30.. no I don't work for them) and decant those into 30 ml bottles for use. You can even specify what PG/VG ratio you like.

You could try to integrate one of these into the project: http://www.bigshotcamera.com/ The only problem is that the sensor is probably tiny and any old lenses you might want to play with would have a massive telephoto effe

But the transmission time delay is still only 4.5 hours, not 9.5. The onboard clock has simply drifted out of sync with one on Earth.
