dingle 57 Posted July 14, 2010 just curious BR---where did you get this for less than $150? what movement is in it? recently received the white faced/blue hand version from Mary....no where near $150.00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldrick 1 Posted July 14, 2010 That's an Asian 21j and it came originally from TTK, if you check the image properties, you'll see it was available 5 years ago, could be they've upgraded it to an Asian ETA mov't! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldrick 1 Posted July 14, 2010 I can vouch personally for it being 21j Asian, no cheating here DB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldrick 1 Posted July 14, 2010 And of course let's not leave out the Rollie lovers, lots of stuff for them under $150 buxx, not leats the Noobmariner and it's derivatives, great value at the prices, we do indeed live in glorious times I think the question we need to ask ourselves is, if we went to an ATM and took out $150.00 what could we buy at the local mall, anything near as good, I don't think so, but that's just my opinion !

greg_r 83 Posted July 14, 2010 amen, Baldrick! Of course, this is just another excuse to see a few more of TTK's stunning photos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldrick 1 Posted July 14, 2010 No Greg, no excuse needed, it's just great to see a discussion about getting back to basics and seeing what true VFM is, before certain dealers took it upon themselves to blow much of the HOBBY out of the reach of most, especially newcomers to the hobby. And of course any GOOD forum should have a plethora of photos, I think most members come here looking for just that but that's JMHO ! EDITED TO ADD: Let's not forget that we have a lot of members here also who take 'stunning' photos, then of course there are others 'general'ly speaking who can't Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeyB 0 Posted July 14, 2010 Hey greg_r, while at the mall I ran into this and went straight to the ATM to get the cash to buy it. I think it's a genuine, too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldrick 1 Posted July 15, 2010 Hey you got a 'new' camera, well we'll be expecting some more good stuff from you now, perhaps with less bokeh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted July 15, 2010 Hey you got a 'new' camera, well we'll be expecting some more good stuff from you now, perhaps with less bokeh Depends on whether I can overcome the usual waves of apathy As for bokeh, well, it has its place.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldrick 1 Posted July 15, 2010 Apathy, now that's something I know about, I really should get off my arse and shoot some new stuff, achh, I'll do it tomorrow, bokeh defo has it's place, and I know 'art' ( which is what I think we see from members here) is very personal, I'm old school, I like the old masters and simply prefer great DOF and sharpness particularly in watch photos JMO.
