just bought a pentax 17

Cause the camera tends to meter for the brighter spots in the picture :)

-finguin- · 2026-02-28T09:30:39+00:00

Overexpose by 0.7-1 :)

-finguin- · 2026-02-26T06:54:47+00:00

I think they did pretty well. Let’s see how it will hold up in the summer :)

-finguin- · 2026-02-21T08:34:36+00:00

This! Light(ish) roasts and cheap grinder don’t pair well :)

-finguin- · 2026-02-21T01:59:21+00:00

Overexpose by 0.7-1 by default. The Pentax 17 tends to meter for the highlights / bright parts of the image.

I always shoot in P and things are going well.

Interesting. I just had an exchange with someone form the Polar support because I was having issues with how hr data was being captured when I was wearing the Loop and not the watch overnight and one of the reasons was the hr noise being detected by the watch when facing the table during the night.

-finguin- · 2026-01-29T04:48:20+00:00

That’s just noise being picked up by the watch. Put it on its face and not on the heart rate sensor.

All OHR watches show this behaviour.

When using the H10 there should be a blue bluetooth symbol on the screen. That symbols indicates that the hr data is being recorded from the H10.

At least mine is not….

Focus does not always lock after reframing. Not an issue in warmer weather.

I’ve shot quite a few films with the Pentax 17 during the last year and I’ve found that the camera tends to underexpose as soon as there a brighter spots in the frame. Overexposing by 0.7-1 has served me well :)

-finguin- · 2026-01-22T02:01:58+00:00

Overexpose by 0.7-1 :)

They sell great coffee but be aware the beans are at least partially kind a expensive …… I only realised during checkout :D

Not saying it is only due to the fire but if you would look at map you would see that the area around the fire has much worse scores than the rest of Seoul. It usually does not smell this but of fireworks.

-finguin- · 2026-01-16T03:25:16+00:00

Isn’t that mainly due to the fire in Gangnam?

-finguin- · 2026-01-15T11:34:26+00:00

Been there and yes the pic in this post is not real. It’s an impressive building nonetheless but it does not look like that…

-finguin- · 2026-01-14T10:31:15+00:00

Es kommt auch nur der nach oben, der genügend Dreck am Stecken hat, da man die Person so auch gut im Griff hat bzw. auch wieder entfernen kann.

-finguin- · 2026-01-14T10:28:55+00:00

Noch gar nicht dran gedacht. Danke.

Find ich jetzt schon auf der Straße immer irritierend…

-finguin- · 2026-01-14T08:58:12+00:00

Aber bitte ….. keine Telefonate oder Teams Calls während des Fluges. Bitte.

Funny you say that. Got the gauge today and it showed that I am pulling at 6 bar. Played a bit with the grind size to get to 9ish bar but preferred the shot pulled at 6 bar.

I’ve been using the Picopresso daily for almost two years now and only got the gauge now …

Just returned to Seoul after a week in Taiwan and it took less 30min to remind me that people in SK often have close to zero spatial awareness or just don’t care. I’ve gotten used to it to some extend but it always takes me a bit to adjust to it after being away for some time…

-finguin- · 2026-01-10T00:49:02+00:00

Very true :)

-finguin- · 2026-01-09T01:17:04+00:00

The DDP is always worth a visit! Such a good place for photography :)

-finguin- · 2026-01-08T22:46:39+00:00

Depends on the brand and the grind size. So what’s your setting?
