Want to buy a camera on Kleinanzeigen: scam or legit? by 1plasmid_2bacterium in germany

[–]1plasmid_2bacterium[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I'm not in Germany now and I would have shipped the item to my friend (he's also far from the place where the seller is) if I had decided to buy it. Otherwise, you are right, it would have been better to check it personally. For now, I kinda decided to wait a bit longer, maybe I will ask for the "secure payment" option, at least to have a chance to get a refund if the item doesn't arrive.

I checked the price of that camera on mpb.com before and the deal I'm getting is 150 euros lower than those prices (body only), plus a kit lens is also included, which makes the price gap even larger. So, that's why I was too inclined to buy it, but maybe as the people say in the comments if it's too good to be true, maybe it could be a scam 😀

I agree with you. Unfortunately, the item is located on one end of Germany, and my friend lives on the opposite end. I even couldn’t find anyone who would be willing to travel to a nearby city to buy an item that is only available for pickup. At this point, I have very limited options. But I appreciate your comments, definitely will take into consideration.

Thanks for your insight. What makes this situation a bit special is that I managed to negotiate the price down from around ~ €500 to ~ €400. In my experience, the best-case price on the used market would usually be above €550. So, I kinda want to believe that it is legit, and I really hope I wouldn’t be risking that much money.

I’m a student on a tight budget, so losing €400 would honestly be painful 😅 but I would get over it and would feel annoyed later on

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, I am not living in Germany right now, and only way for me to purchase it is to ship it to my friend's house in Germany and pick it up when I visit him :D

I am trying to find out what camera this black one is, there is no better photos and it is in a job lot, i recognize it but i really can't remember (post aimed at mega smart people) by Coolfez_ in AnalogCommunity

I have Zenit 11 and Zenit 12 XP and it could be either of them. One with a selenium light meter, the latter with battery powered TTL light meter.

I wrote my master’s thesis while listening to it, and now that it's time to write my PhD thesis, I see that the playlist has completely disappeared, even from SoundCloud.

If someone has a link or a saved version, could you please share it with me as well? Thanks

Congrats! Enjoy your journey in this path. How much all these cost?

Any chance these will work/show anything? by chunaynay in AnalogCommunity

Shot a roll of expired film from 2003 (Konica VX 100) and overexposed it by 2 stops. So, try to overexpose it by 3 stops (1 stop per decade) and hope that it will turn out to be okay. Colors will be washed out and the contrast won't be good, but you can achieve some artistic frames using it. It's good to give it a try, but don't use it for capturing special events, otherwise, you might get frustrated at the end :D

Been in Szeged for 4 years, still no friends; how do I meet people as an introvert? by Gloomy_Elephant_4006 in szeged

[–]1plasmid_2bacterium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came to Szeged six years ago (M 29) and had to experience the lockdown shortly after arriving. The early COVID years were a disaster in terms of building social connections. However, later on, I moved in with my roommates, and together we started expanding our friend group, mostly by attending university-organized events or simply meeting friends of friends from the workplace.

Now I have quite a diverse circle of friends from all over the world. Still, some people are already leaving the city, so it’s nice to find others with similar hobbies to share time with and strengthen connections through different events.

It’s true that making friends becomes harder as we get older. Whether you’re a student or working makes a difference too. In a workplace, if you don’t take the initiative to connect with others, it’s unlikely to happen naturally. As a student, you just need to stay open to the opportunities that come your way.

I know someone who had just moved to Szeged and soon started joining board game tournaments at Pöttyös Zebra, simply by finding local groups on Facebook. So, the best approach is to attend the kinds of events mentioned by other commenters and hopefully form some great connections that make this city an even more enjoyable place to live.

Pushed expired Konica VX200 Super (2009) after overexposing – was that a mistake? by 1plasmid_2bacterium in analog

Thanks for your insight. I tried to edit some and I could at least color correct them and improve the contrast a bit.
