    I don't believe it does... but the TTL viewfinder would still by 16:9 so composition would be more challenging.

    Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

    I've been shooting with a Nikon DSLR (D7000) and remote strobes against a white backdrop... unfortunately it shoots in a rectangular format (4:3?) so i need to crop each image in post. I've started shopping for a mirrorless Z-series so that I can shoot 1:1 native plus send images wirelessly to...

    Fake or Real (Authentic, Genuine, etc.) -- Official Authentication Thread

    I think this is a real Loro Piana as it feels so nice... but no hip tag so I cant investigate as thoroughly as I'd like.

    How about some more John McHale made for Florsheim. Labeled 93602 but these are the closest to Golden Harvest that I've seen made here up north. More pictures in the Canadian Shoe thread

    Not 'Golden Harvest' but these are the lightest shade of McHale imperials that I've found. Unfortunately the fully nailed leather heel is past due for replacement (found them like this) but good enough condition for a day where I'm at my desk 90% of the time.

    Out in the world yesterday with the iconic late 80s Dack's Zebu U-wings. My studio glamour shots can be found here: https://www.styleforum.net/threads/dacks-and-other-canadian-shoe-brands.280440/post-11601613

    Recently found my first pair of the Iconic Zebu U-wing oxford. These were very dirty on the thrift store shelf but have remarkably little wear. Dack's always run a bit small on me so these 695s (9.5E) are a really good fit. Out and about: The Glamour Shots:

    Thanks! I have a pair of brown bullhide Moorby boots (model 2802) by Canada West and the pair pictured above is much sleeker - especially around the toe. I like the other pair, and wear them around the ranch, but the toe on them always seemed much too bulbous.

    Friends, it's been a long time since I've been able to do much more than lurk around here but was able to get 50 pairs of shoes photographed over the last 2 weekends. I've lots of interesting and beautiful Canadian-made shoes to share with the thread. The first pair is some boots that ended up...

    I did end up going back to retrieve the vintage Banister NSTs i mentioned in here about a month ago. They are in like new condition with the exception of a loose scale on the back of the left heel. Finally had a chance to get all the beauty shots done:

    I had one of my best ever one-stop thrift visits yesterday and I believe there is an item obtained that this group would appreciate. Once I get my photo gear out I’ll take some better pictures to share. They look nearly unworn.

    Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

    Hey experts… is this pair worth getting (not my size so I’d be reselling)? They look unworn with immaculate topys but the a few scales seem to be coming loose. I’d guess they are a 7 or 7.5… Banister shoes is not a brand I’m familiar with and there isn’t a lot that I’ve found online regarding...

    I'd get for personal use... not sure if it'd be a worthwhile flip.
