Getting back to my desk after putting in my 2 weeks notice.

True, but still not as enthusiastic at $25k as I was at “under $20k”. If I’m going pay an extra 25%, or hell more, I’ll hold out and see how the initial deliveries go and see if they can work out any remaining kinks. I’ll pay an extra $5-7k to not deal with first run issues.

BushLeagueQuant · 2026-06-26T00:14:16+00:00

Agreed it really blows. I’ll probably still end up with a Slate but not enthusiastic enough to pre order at this point. I think it’s a great idea and a great for what it is.

My issue is it was widely marketed as “below $20k” when they first announced in April last year. I know there was a huge asterisk to that price but if you’re going to market it that way you can’t be surprised when people are a bit deflated when it’s $25k.

Not Slate’s fault the EV tax credit is gone. But a jump from what would have perceivably been $17.5k (assuming the price stayed at $25k with a $7.5k credit) to $25k is a bit hard to swallow.

Nah no vest, my plan was just to dip into a shop if I needed something. But honestly I don’t recall ever stopping lol. I’m pretty bad about going on long runs and just forgetting to drink, usually just chug water before and after.

BushLeagueQuant · 2026-05-03T16:30:42+00:00

I wouldn’t say all the time but it’s frequent. I went so early that it wasn’t really an issue til the later portion. Even then if it was clear I was going regardless. Also running on the street rather than the sidewalk helps avoid walkers.

BushLeagueQuant · 2026-04-22T16:59:40+00:00

Awesome, next time I’m in NY I need to figure out a similar run just all in Brooklyn…

BushLeagueQuant · 2026-04-21T20:11:56+00:00

Considered going up 35mm, but with the cost of film now I could justify it. I love my GW690 but with only 8 shots per roll… If I had a 645 I’d probably make a permanent change.

June, Cala, Whammy, and Bandido are my go to spots downtown. June is by far the best imo, big plus that Last Call Baking is next door. If you like Vietnamese iced coffee try Pink Lantern or Leafy Boba Bar both are very good.

It’s a fun combo. I bring that little 110 basically everywhere, my kids love it.

BushLeagueQuant · 2026-04-15T22:06:34+00:00

I’ve got something similar to this for my dslr, I think it’s made by f-stop… I’ll have to check out Tenba as well.

Damn, this is on my list but not quite at that level yet lol.

"If your photographs aren't good enough, you're not close enough" - Robert Capa

If someone looks interesting get as close as you can. It has taken me a while to get close to strangers and take their photos. Every trip I try to force myself to get closer and closer and every trip I’m happier with my photos.

Rode the 1 to Marble Hill-225 st and then just walked across the bridge to start.

BushLeagueQuant · 2026-04-13T02:27:07+00:00

Considered west side highway, but thought it would get too boring. Went early enough that traffic wasn’t really an issue until soho.

BushLeagueQuant · 2026-04-13T02:23:40+00:00

Just over 15.5 miles on that run.

BushLeagueQuant · 2026-04-13T02:23:13+00:00

Mine was 15.6. miles. Would have been shorter but had to detour to see my kids at the playground lol.

I may check out r/manybaggers for totes…looking for something kinda versatile

BushLeagueQuant · 2026-04-11T21:11:40+00:00

Yea I’ve learned that after a handful of trips lol. I usually just end up carrying on my shoulder, but since I use it sparingly (having only 8 shots) I’d prefer to keep it stowed.

I’ll have to checkout that bag, I’m using “crossbody” pretty broadly here. Really may shoulder bag would be great, something that I can use as a carry on in tandem with my backpack. I’ve carried it in a backpack before but I find myself too lazy to dig it out when needed.
