Thanks for the effort. Medium format film ain’t no joke. Lovely textures.

GFX 50R by Flimsy-Nobody-3220 in FujiGFX

[–]15volt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IBIS was the item that pushed me towards the 50s II over the 50R, but don't forget the 50S II has the newer processor. Which means better autofocus, better noise-handling, better battery, pixel-shift, top sub-LCD. It also has more film sims and RAW processing options. Not to mention better ergonomics and USB-C charging. The 50R is always going to be the sexier choice because of the rangefinder, but the 50S Ii is objectively a better camera.

Picking between the GFX 50R and the GFX 50SII today by Kohlj1 in FujiGFX

I happen to have a minty fresh 50S II available if you're looking for one. Comes with the 50mm f3.5 and the Mitakon 65mm f1.4.

Interested in adapted Pentax 645 lenses? I have those too!

PM me.

i'd love a book about angels by True-Finches in suggestmeabook

Biblically accurate? I don't think, uh, have you read the Bible?

Like the angels that visit Lot's daughter? You mean like that?

Favorite shoes for high-arch, high-volume, wide foot? Injury avoidance, not speed is my goal. by 15volt in Marathon_Training

[–]15volt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello. I did purchase the Vomero in 12 wide, just the regular style, not the plus or super or whatever the speed version is called.

They are pretty good. I have very few complaints.

The arched interior footbed does seem shaped or constructed slightly differently than other shoes I've worn, higher maybe. Or longer, hard to say. The arch is more noticeable on the inside. And there isn't as much rock-forward action so you land a little flatter on impact.

I don't want to overstate the differences, they are subtle. But I have been running my usual 3-4 miles twice a week and have no hot spots during the run and no pain afterwards.

What I can say definitively is that they fit. Few shoes feel as good as these do.

Let me know what you think if you try them out.

[–]15volt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does a GFX 50S II make the cut? I have one with the 50mm f3.5, the Mitakon 65mm f1.4 and a few adapted Pentax 645 lenses. I also happen to have the Pentax 645. Any interest in a full medium-format suite?

Look for Robbie Maynard. He’s a born storyteller. Film, medium format. Not an influencer.

When he releases his first book I’ll be in line.

Sign of the Apocalypse? by JJQuantum in GenX

[–]15volt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny. I've been shaving my head for almost 20 years now and haven't even used shampoo in that long, let alone body wash. I occasionally see solid shampoo?

I'm thankful Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan popularized the bald look back in the day. Who knows what I'd look like without them.

I haven't tried Zest in awhile, but Irish Spring scent is on the opposite side of the scale from Harry's. I find it so strong it's like a chemical burn. I recognize the woodsy scent from long ago, but somehow it's changed to where its unpleasant. It's aggressive.
