>>3916942>thats rather fucking pointlessYeah, I should totally shoot ... portraits.... and body length outfit shots... in landscape orientation. Just like every other mindless retard who does that.
mhmm
>marriedironic. Last person who said that to me was trying to prove he wasnt fucking another man.
Funny story.
>manufacturers sure as shit arent lubricating themNobody is numbnuts.
But mine produces a very fine black ..stuff.. that gets everywhere and is extremely hostile to eyes.
I have 2, one was a gift, and afaik they both do it.
....that said; it's possible i'm using the gift version and the prior owner did lubricate it. But I doubt it, and the lock still works normally, so that would indicate it's probably not been lubricated.
>someone who has a battery grip on a 10 year old aps-c pentaxlooks, you assume looks?
No. Because battery tech and power consumption from back then isn't quite as good as now.
And 99% PORTRAIT
You should practice not going with your first assumption, it's clearly heavily biased by being around insipid cunts, or being one yourself. Or more likely both.

>because you seem to like barging in and flexing your e-penisum. ok.
>you're jellynot even slightly
quite the opposite if you really must know.
>you bought another one when i pointed out that you were doing it wrong and that there is a right wayIf the argument makes sense, it makes sense. But don't take credit for triggering my G.A.S as if it means you are the purveyor of all knowledge and perfect correctness.
But your assumptions about me doing it wrong, are wrong, so maybe try to be less wrong. It slightly clouds my ability to see your valid points.
ie: the head
I do, now, recall getting it due to the additional height it adds. But I do, now, also see that it weighing nearly 500g to an already quite heavy monopod is likely to be the core problem.
