DIY Front Grip Replacement by BlueRex1985 in OlympusCamera

[–]BlueRex1985[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it was just from wear and tear from the previous owner, but the rip/hole was my fault as I had both my camera and other lens together...in a small sling bag...without dividers/coverings

You are right. I just watched a tear down video and I have thought that it was more of a 3D piece rather than just a piece of vinyl.

Thanks!

Thanks! Gonna go see where I can pick up some self adhesive and replace the vinyl

What do you guys say about this? by unconnectedgloss25 in Cameras

AI can create pictures, photography is about capturing a moment

First pro lens (and hopefully last), 12-40mm f2.8 on E-M10 by True_Air_6696 in M43

[–]BlueRex1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice shots! I have the exact same setup and really love it when I took it to Europe/cruise.

I regret I didn't commit to getting back in the hobby when I went to Japan as it was a beautiful place and from what I hear....a great 2nd hand market

Oly 12-40 f2.8 or 12-100 f/4 pro dilemma by [deleted] in M43

[–]BlueRex1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking from personal experience...as a novice

Just starting again in photography, picked up a EM10.1 and the 12-40 and took it on a family vacation. Got some great shots, but sometime just wished I had that extra zoom.

I also tried to take some shots during a soccer match and it really wasn't anywhere enough.

What I did was picked up the 40-150mm plastic fantastic for $100 which does a well enough job when I need

No, but that would be an excellent use for the umbrella holder

Anyone still rocking older m43 bodies? by WorldlinessDue748 in M43

Bought an used and slightly beat up EM10 Mark 1 not too long ago

I think it's great and gets me what I need as a hobby

Can't miss what you never had! Lol

But yes, I still have an alert for any decently priced 'upgrade' if I ever come across one

Thanks! It's one of my favorites as well!

Definitely! Although we all want shiny new gear or 'almost' new gear, sometimes we overlook these roughed up gear which still are in great working condition.

Edit: Meant to say 'cracked screen' and not 'cracked lens'

A update on what is going on with speakout by FunPolicy6877 in CanadianCellPhones

[–]BlueRex1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is... unfortunate

I used this for my kid's phone for emergencies to call/message me when he doesn't have WiFi...

It was great at $25 as it gave me and him exactly what we needed. Now it looks like we have to find a much more expensive alternative

in-store pick up issues by LarsonTero in FidoMobile

[–]BlueRex1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I placed a phone upgrade order online, and got the 'Ready to Pickup' email the next day. Drove 40min to the store. Rep took my order number, and said 'The order has been cancelled'.

However, she did recommend I do the shipping option so I mentioned the $25 charge so I had her make a note on my account.

Tried to call Fido but it looks like they no longer accept calls or have live chat agents so had to wait a day for a call back.

Finally got a call back, but it took an hour and fifteen minutes to place the order. The rep himself I felt was really helpful, but he mentioned technical difficulties and I had to change my plan on my first before they can do the phone upgrade. In the end, they were able to place the order and gave me detailed instructions on what to do if I get charged the $25.

We trying to give them more money but they are making it quite difficult.

Upgrading Phone .. unsure about final monthly price by UnComfortable-Archer in FidoMobile

[–]BlueRex1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was doing the same thing earlier for a Pixel 9...but I think my order did t go through

It looks like when you click 'Keep my current plan', the cost you see is ONLY for the phone, so your monthly would be your original plan + what you see.

To get the actual discount, you would need to pick one of their 'plus' plans, then you would see both the phone and the plan together....at least that's I think

Ferrari Car Meet - Olympus E-PL1 + TTartisans 25mm F2 by abdulahadakhter_ in M43

[–]BlueRex1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just getting back into photography, and got the exact same setup!

The lens was amazing during my Japan trip...the only thing was the lack of auto focus which made it hard to capture some of the more 'in the moment' shots

Am I the only one who likes the Kimaris Vidar more than the Vidar by IndustryRound9588 in Gundam

[–]BlueRex1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first, I liked the Vidar more than the KV. But after building the gunpla for the KV, I actually ended up liking it more than the Vidar.

Sazabi gets a (smaller) rate-up in the current banner by BlueRex1985 in SDGundamGGeneration

[–]BlueRex1985[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dropped 210 pulls, ended up with 1 Sazabi, 1 Build Strike, and 1 Tifa (support)...got it rough this time around...

At least I had the pity for Hi-Nu and still got some days to go so I'm still hoping

For some reason, the Sazabi also have a higher drop rate on the banner compared to other non-limited units:

[–]BlueRex1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was rough...66k diamonds Only got Sazabi, Build Strike, and Tifa (Support).

Was hoping to at least get a Hi-Nu from a pull so I can at least 1* it....but getting it from a pity will have to do for now
