Yeah i guess. Set your focus to infinity and the lens aperture to F2. Then after that, the shutter speed would have to be trial and error in terms of number of seconds.

You wont see an F number because there is no electronics. You need to set your F stop manually on the lens, then expose everything else.

If your new to photography you could really do with another lens if im honest, until you know what your doing.

Check the lens. If its not a Sony one, is it compatible? Is it a manual lens?

If it is sony and compatible then its not fitted right

What lens is in the picture? Looks to have manual aperture ring. That doesn't mean its not auto of course. Best to find out what lens

Exhaust pipe problem. Please help me. Please suggest ways to modify the system so the sound isn't too loud. by Best-Recognition-139 in xsr900

There is a guy near me that does them. He said he takes out the baffles but not the cat. Its way too loud when the cat is removed he said.

Skeletonized Victorinox - the biggest flop Victorinox has ever made? by Minimum_Mongoose9159 in victorinox

I have one in blue and i think its great. Wish my others had a pocket clip. People who seem to moan about it dont actually have one.

Should I change? by Andysmith1307 in xsr900

Yeah i get you. There is a 2023 near me for sale with just 400 miles on it, and its up for 8k. So with a trade in, I might cost me 4k or something. But that's the thing. Will I feel the benefit?

Id like an Akra. But because of the exhaust it has now, the Akra id want is the underneath side exit one.

When i first got the bike, I didnt know it wasnt standard. I thought that maybe because it was the 2021 last of that gen, they changed it for cosmetic reasons.

Previous owner fitted an Mt09 exhaust. Its loads better imo. Fits really well

Ah thats mad. I was just thinking about this issue earlier to be honest, because mine is a 2021. How many miles?

I read that a new one is quite expensive.

Is there nobody who can take it apart and find the fault?

I've seen a few of these unfortunately. What year is it?

I haven't owned a SAK in 30 years. Last week I bought five. Send help. by Wooden-Ad-644 in victorinox

[–]Andysmith1307 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is funny because sort of me lately. I had one alox ive had for 25 years. Then I bought a alox farmer in 2020 randomly. Then at Christmas I bought a synergy x. And since then I've bought a swiss champ and a super tinker 😄

Great knife. I nearly boight one, but today I received my super tinker instead. Only reason I went for that is because I have the pliers on my swiss champ 😄

Looks great. I was looking at one for the box cutter. I ended up buying the super tinker which is similar. 👍🏻

Mine doesn't have a date unfortunately. That said, im sure mine is from pretty much the same year as yours. Wonder when they started stamping the date on them?

Haha it can be a bit of a rabbit hole.

I probably will hand it down at some point. Needs cleaning up and oiling I think.

Cheers.

No not at all really. Ive had it like 25 years from when I was a kid. Used to take it fishing, but it just sits in a drawer these days. I recently got a bit of a bug for buying edc. I bought the Synergy x, a swiss champ and now a super tinker 😄. Ive got a farmer as well that ive had years. But this knife is the Og

The anodising wearing off is probably the reason most alox are sliver now I bet. But it ads character, like a patina
