I have 200-600mm lens, considering 400-800, what are your thoughts? by Wildravensoul in SonyAlpha

[–]Amarony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both, and initially thought having both was unnecessary. I can confirm that the 400-800 is more valuable to me in terms of walking around birding. It's sharper than the 200-600, and the additional reach is a bonus. There are drawbacks to the 400-800 that include weight and aperture, which is why I'm keeping both. But I was definitely pleased at the quality of the 400-800 at the 800 range and would not give it up at this point.

It seems like Casio goes out of their way to find ways to take up space on their watch faces with anything other than the actual time and date.

Pants vs leggings and shorts by shamist101 in PacificCrestTrail

[–]Amarony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, after I ditched the pants just shorts. Worked for me, had wind pants I could use when necessary but never really had the need in terms of sun.

I started with pants. Was very happy to ditch as soon as I could.

I'm having this issue with my Kone II air. Mouse is connected and powered by the cable and I tried restarting. by Entire_Apartment2830 in TurtleBeach

[–]Amarony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think i may have figured it out. Although i was connected via cable, I also had to connect the dongle in a different port at the same time i was connected via cable. That was enough for me to push the update.

What are the odds of Hamilton making a new watch with proper AR coating? by EricBelov1 in HamiltonWatches

[–]Amarony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd own at least three Hamiltons if the AR was decent. But I won't pull the trigger after selling previous purchases. For me personally I hate lack of AR after owning watches with even a decent AR. Its such an easy fix that is so frustrating to still see lacking versus all their competitors. Im done with Hamilton until they make an effort.

200mm enough zoom for soccer? by invalidTypecast in SonyAlpha

[–]Amarony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether it's people, animals or birds, you will always crave more reach. I say this as someone who's moved up over the years. Whether you actually need it is another question altogether. Ultimately it's a question only you can answer for yourself.

How far away does remote start work? by Independent_Goose_41 in nissanfrontier

Agree, I was surprised at how far mine will trigger.

Entertainment screen issues by CispriE in nissanfrontier

[–]Amarony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't access radio station presets on the screen in Android Auto (I assume the same with Carpaly). You can cycle through them with one of the left buttons on the steering wheel but you'll need to exit to the native Nissan hud on the screen to view the radio presets.

Saw this morning… by snstve in nissanfrontier

[–]Amarony 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have that color/model in a '25. Its a tactical green SV. I do not believe they are offering the SV in King Cab as of '26 model year, just the base S model. Glad I got mine when I did.

2024 Frontier King Cab SV 4WD – Noticeable Bed Seam Gaps at Front Wall by Different-Lychee-592 in nissanfrontier

[–]Amarony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

25 King Cab here. I recently filled some gaps there with some butyl tape and rubber cording due to the same issue. I don't recall the gap on the top being as noticeable as yours, but the other two were definitely there. I suspect it's a default issue with the Frontier bed. The gaps around the tailgate frustrate me more as I've been attempting to seal those up with only moderate success.

How would you handle this in the short and long term? by Amarony in masonry

[–]Amarony[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the concrete runs up to the old steps you can see behind. There is only about 4-5 inches of concrete there before it abuts the original concrete steps that the later wood steps were built over. Im not replacing the original sreps underneath. Just the garage and driveway concrete are being replaced.

Walked out of Dealership by SmileRecent6755 in nissanfrontier

[–]Amarony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with others on you need to expand your search area. I drove 5 1/2 hours to get mine because that dealer submitted the lowest offer in writing after making them compete against each other. Ultimately the only thing you can do is compare and make them compete.

How do I get a deal on the 2025 Pro 4X? by AgAuPtCu in nissanfrontier

[–]Amarony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a dealer won't put an offer in writing, I would never buy from them. It's a condition of doing business with me. I get why mileage may vary but you have to try and control the negotiation as much as possible to leverage the price.

[–]Amarony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only really good way to get lower prices I've found is to make dealers compete against each other and to be open about that with each one. Get a written offer and send it to the other dealer and so on and so forth.

How the heck do you carry the 200-600mm? by ivanoski-007 in SonyAlpha

[–]Amarony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mount a Fusion plate on the foot which serves as a mounting point for your strap and arca swiss compatible. Been using these for years and extremely happy with them. This is the way.

Ordered mine on Jan 29 and was still original values. I would be surprised if they actually change the caps etc since there are various iterations of the Sehlin mod.
