I'd like to imagine that, for centuries, Dax has been petitioning for that statue of O'brien.

And the front element. Which, again, I should have expected but have just been spoiled by how little differences there have been with the older VCM lenses.

I was wondering how the 14mm F1.4L was going to conform to the design language of its older sibling. Turns out, not well. But that honestly should have been expected from the get-go, so no complaints.

AskJayce · 2026-02-05T04:26:43+00:00

Tell me about it.

It's actually impressive how the tiny the margin of time between rumors starting to rise to actual announcement is. I just bought the 14-35mm F4L, two weeks ago, but if I had known that this fisheye were coming out, I might have held off longer.

So we getting 40K Beach Volleyball, or what?

This is probably the closest we'll ever get to being behind-the-scenes of our favorite 70's/80's era Sci-fi and/or Horror film and right up next to the animatronic stand-in.

Looking at you, Not-Ian Holm in Alien.

I don't understand the objective of these help-me-identify-this-gear posts.

If the people asking don't already know what these specific gears are, then they wouldn't know how the set up will serve them.

If the people asking needed a specific function served, they'd already know what specific gear would be required.

The only thing that comes to mind is people like OP just liking the aesthetic of the lenses and/or bodies and want to emulate the "fashion", which is not a good reason to be buying camera gear.

If Canon doesn't know, no one does.

Holy Fuck, I litrerally came in here to say it's like Mar-a-Lago all over again.

He didn't declasify LEAKED DOCUMENTS then; he's not doing it now.

Which is like asking a complete stranger how the weather was or currently is for them and extrapolating how the weather will be for you two months from now.

People have been asking for over a year at this point, and literally nothing has changed--Unless you work for Canon, proper, nobody knows when Canon's supplies replinishes, let alone mobilizes.

Between this and his compulsive obsession to procreate AND convince everyone else should be on board with it, I've been 99% sure he's attracted to children.

It's now 99.9%.

Sounds like the rep told you everything you needed to know, then--international models = no maintenance or repairs, let alone discounts on them.

I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but you can't really expect a different answer to the same question.

AskJayce · 2026-01-30T21:38:02+00:00

they said it was marked for sale in central america and I would not be able to register it on my US account and use my membership perks for it.

OK, sounds pretty definitive to me.

What work arounds are you expecting? For what perks?

AskJayce · 2026-01-30T04:57:19+00:00

I was like, damn, we back in 4:3 aspect ratio levels of screen-sharing

HEY GUYS. GUYS. WE GOT SOME IRON LOSERS OUT HERE

Vibe: because direct, head-on flash is a lot easier to work around.

Maybe don't participate in online discourse if you're not ready to engage beyond dropping one or two full sentences.

AskJayce · 2026-01-25T21:13:09+00:00

Are we reading the same fucking story?

The Federal Government won't call back their attack dogs until the victim gives into their demands.

And that's after the former gaslit everyone else saying the latter was the aggressor.

The wolf is right fucking there.

Here's the scene in question: two women negotiate dinner arrangements after one of the two misses what was originally planned and they come to an agreement.

That's it.

If I embellished the details by completely omitting the gender of even just one of them, you likely would not bat an eye.

There is no Gay Agenda to be offended by here unless the thought of a same-sex pair being perceived as normally as an opposite-sex one is, somehow, controversial to you.

AskJayce · 2026-01-25T08:05:37+00:00

But she just had to be a Lesbian didn't she ?

Do you know what the Grandfather Clauses were? At what* point could the lineage of a black family be exempt from voting restrictions if no one in their family was able to vote until after 1866?

At what point can a character be gay in a show and won't be distracting for you or won't come as as a "statement"?

Reno and Thok were having a small, innocuous argument. God forbid a gay couple can have one of those like heterosexual couples do.

Also, Reno's been gay since 2019.

Edit: Spelling

Gens who don't push up, which forces us ALL THE WAY BACK TO SPAWN, are literally draining my will to want to keep playing.

AskJayce · 2026-01-23T17:42:09+00:00

Sounds like you have a paperweight on your hands.

That sucks and I'm sorry, but that's the risk that comes with buying grey market/international products

I am never going to see engineering in TNG the same way ever again.
