Megabound posted:I got a new (old) camera Is this your first medium format film camera? Are you going to be processing and/or scanning your own negatives? I really wished I'd picked up a 4x5 (or 67) a few years ago when they went for absurdly low prices, but I have a bad habit of taking multiple pictures per scene and I haven't even transferred pictures from my dslr I took months ago. So having limited shots (and limited ISOs even though 100 works for the majority of what I do) and having to go through the developing and scanning process would require a big change and more discipline. But I love the look and picture quality from medium format film.

No, I shoot many cameras but primarily 6x6. I moved on a Fuji GW690II and a Mamiya C220 to get the Bronica up there. I develop and scan all my own film and turned my garage intona darkroom, I'm all in on film and have been for a while. It's great fun and yeah, medium and large just has a look you can't replicate.

The ones back home haven’t heard the good word yet. Highly recommend their Kirkland tequila silver and spiced rum. If you’re a vodka fan, their Kirkland vodka is rebranded Grey Goose.

Franco Caution posted:From where? Basically yeah, but the bulbs are a little smaller than normal bulbs. I bought it from a european place called lumenXL. IMO the christmas lighting situation in Finland is atrocious, I simply cannot find any light strings with replaceable lights in local shops. I hate the ones with non replaceable lights, every year some of them breaks and can't be fixed. And 95% of people here seem to decorate with white lights only while I am a color person. I really wanted C9 bulbs you know, but they're a US thing. I will buy some next year though, I'll use a step down transformer if I have to. I also bought a vintage mini light string with tiny incandenscents, it has replaceable bulbs. I will see about finding led replacements for it.

I travel for work and over winter find myself sitting in dry hotels rooms running the heat and putting on lotion every couple hours so I finally found out these exist: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07HCTYFLV?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image It’s a super portable humidifier that uses plastic water bottles as the tank. It’s a godsend.

Those chinesium machines are more trouble than they're worth. Lots of problems, both mechanical and software, and the quality of the finished product is poor. Not to mention that they're downright dangerous with their poor airflow and totally exposed laser. Pay your local sign shop to use one of their $40,000 lasers for whatever it is that you need. Save your health and your time.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09575MMZ8 Spend more if you really want one. My friend got one that was nicer than this and had to watch it the entire time because the motor slowed and started a fire once. He eventually spent like $12,000 on a good one and refused to sell the old one to anyone due to the risk. That said, he's turned it into a nice little side business running commissions on it.

I've been wanting to get new headphones for a while, and for the last month or so I had been going back and forth between getting the Bose QC45s or the Sony wh1000xm5s. For the last two weeks, I thought I had convinced myself I wanted the xm5s and would wait til they went on sale closer to ~$300 price range. Well, the Sony's haven't dropped below $350, so tonight, the right combination of me having extra disposable income at the moment, 2 upcoming road trips in the next 2 weeks, and the Bose going on sale again for $229 convinced me to cave, so I just splurged and ordered these with overnight shipping.  Also ordered a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 (40mm) during a black friday sale.

Rolo posted:Where did you get that. My bad, thought I'd replied but apparently never hit post... I snagged it from Mini Museum! Occasionally they have some neat stuff pop up. On the subject of other weird poo poo I recently bought, I just ordered some of Saint Nicholas' magical bone juice! Which is to say, a souvenir bottle of olive oil with a dash of groundwater that's ritually collected from the crypt under the basilica constructed to house a smattering of Saint Nicholas' looted corpse. I have no clue what Imma do with this stuff, but apparently my niece has concocted an elaborate scheme with her friends to have santa write a codeword to compare and see if he's really real, so I'm thinking a bottle of dead santa oil could help keep the christmas magic alive. Totally not at all a horrifying twist on the Santa-is-real debate -- now I've got a souvenir bottle of his holy bone secretions to prove it Edit - For reference I really thought googling the phrase "Santa Bone Juice" would be a much more fraught search than it turned out to be Catatron Prime has a new favorite as of 18:31 on Dec 24, 2022 |

And even more guitars 80s Lotus Strat copy, had the same model in black earlier this year, will be cleaned, fixed, and flipped  Firefly Tele Thinline, great guitar for $130  Another Lotus for flipping  It has a dirty word on the back!  And one for the mostly permanent collection  1981 Hondo H-745. Walnut body with "flame maple" top and neck(veneer top, painted flame on the neck)  I like it a lot.
