Yup applying gun parts to cameras is old hat. I find it funny as kids “discover” new things that us old geezers have done for decades.

Like a shotgun sight on the top of your SLR. works awesome for fast action or sports shots, you can shoot without looking through the lens and with both eyes open. I get perfect shots every time with it. and I dont get killed by that motorcycle that was 20 feet in the air and is now coming down wher I am standing.

The fresh new hires for the local news look at my camera with questions, and then say “you cant get a good photo that way”.

I ask to look at their camera, they dont even have a focus prism. None of these “photographers” coming out of college know how to take photographs or how to use a camera. They all rely on autofocus and program modes.

Athough IS lenses area godsend for still life or low motion zoom shots. but they are worthless for action shots where you are panning trying to catch a bike doing 200mph around a track.
