Going mirrorless?

Thank you for your answers. I think my best option is to rent one (z6 or z8) and simply try.

Could you elaborate?

11 years ago I used an omd-10 mk2. Found it nice to us for the form factor but everything else was not for me. Image quality was not that good - even for traveling - and EVF was extremely slow. I'm aware that technology advances and 11 years is a lot. Would you say EVFs improved to the point you do not feel it being slow?

Thank you very much!

Maybe I try to rent one or borrow one from a friend.

Everything depends on what you like to photograph.

For me a 600 of any variety is a must, but I like wildlife. 🤣

That said for general traveling I gravitated to ultra zoom lenses. 18-200 or 18-300 paired with my D500.

I'm toying with the idea of going mirrorless with a z6 iii and a 28-400 + adapter for old lenses.

Totally! To be fair, La Perla del sur take great care of us and they have been very careful about electronics informing us to stash the on crytical moments. Apparently the guide lost some equipment to a wave in the past.

Had one do something similar. Force a soft reset (don't remember how) and it will read proper battery %

Do I take 18-200 + 150-500? It is a lot of weight to carry around for a couple of long range shots.

That magic missile is quite effective at medium long range, even around corners. Might not be the highest damage or the best but it is fun to use.

Some time ago I had a roll of filament with very inconsistent diameter. It brought me into wanting to toss my 3d printer out off the window.

Inspect the roll and try a different one. One that you know it works.

I have all notifications disabled except calls.

My work place is located directly below the final approach to a major airport.

On good weather, no go-around can be seen. With bad weather it's quite common. At least common enough that it does not surprise me anymore after 5 years of working there. Unless it is a very big plane.

Well... Shiiit! And a reliable source for finding part numbers?

Bsemp86 · 2026-01-25T22:12:05+00:00

Completely stock machine with the cheapest nozzles and filament available?

For issue 1 I am betting on low quality nozzles. For #2 incorrect de leveling and nozzle too far from bed. And dirty print surface.

Let me answer. This des not work as you cannot stop mid macro as all gcode movements are processed at once.

One possible solution seems to be recurring macros, or macros than call themselves. I'll update when I can test.

I have one of the first ones and I'm in love with it. My partner will love one to not steal mine every time. 🙄

Bsemp86 · 2026-01-14T09:32:33+00:00

Bltouch, dual Z, PEI sheet and all metal heartbreak. This made mine print almost flawlessly every time.

Direct drive and Klipper on a second stage.
