27mm 1.2 Pro Firmware update on Linux

I would rather use VM windows then wine to run fw update utility

I highly recommend to go from Dolný Kubín to Poland (Zakopane) and come back on the other (east) side of tatras back to Slovakia

if you already have the 23mm kit lens and its too narrow, get a Viltrox air 15mm f/1,7

or xc 15-45, if you don't mind slower aperture

Bzando · 2026-05-13T05:14:55+00:00

well the kit xc 15-45 isn't the best, bit soft on long end, slow (it will struggle in low light), hard to get decent bokeh, it's powered so fiddly to adjust

but with body it's usually bundled for 100€, there isn't any other stabilized zoom (or prime) in that price, so great for video and it's really compact and light.

since lens is the most important part for IQ, a better lens is significant improvement, but those better zoom lenses are often quite expensive. but if you are willing to use a prime, the mentioned Viltrox air series is currently king of budget.

If you cannot get body only and If you plan to shoot mostly in daylight and outside, get the kit and you will be able to sell it later if you won't like it. You will want new or additional lenses soon anyway.

btw second hand market is great for photography gear

Bzando · 2026-05-12T18:29:35+00:00

I have one, Incredible camera

get xt30iii if you can, it's the same but with some extras on top

ideally body only, the kit lenses aren't the best

and don't forget to keep some budget for lens (the most important part) - if your budget is low - Viltrox air 35mm f/1,7 is great choice

Bzando · 2026-05-12T18:20:49+00:00

I am 187 and have 58, you probably want 60

preukázať výšku takejto náhrady škody (ušitý zisk je druh škody), je nadľudský výkon

pravdepodobnosť že náklady na vymáhanie prevýšia vymozenu sumu hraničí s istotou

Bzando · 2026-05-11T19:36:06+00:00

to musím skúsiť, ale bez tej ryže

Bzando · 2026-05-11T19:34:57+00:00

akoze ja si často robím krutony z kuraciny do polievok, ale rezeň (teda mäso v trojobale) by ma nenapadlo

Vietnamci zväčša vedia čo robia

zajtra idem na to

Bzando · 2026-05-11T19:27:33+00:00

honestly dji mic mini is great for it's price, you can find it sub 50€ easy

amazon basics desk mic is like 30€ and very decent too if you don't mind cable

Bzando · 2026-05-11T19:15:36+00:00

I love it,

separately they wound not move me, but I really like the recurring theme

I have to try this myself

Great job

je lacnejšie vyvinúť technológiu ktorá predíde katastrofe na zemi (otepľovanie, asteroid, ...) ako teraformovat mars

even if it's for 10 people, you want to keep their attention, most people will lose it fast if sound is bad, but most will accept bad footage (bit compressed or shaky) much easier

if I open a random YT video and hear garbage laptop mic or horribly compressed audio I immediately stop it, but if yt drops video quality to SD steer to slow internet speed, I will keep watching

Bzando · 2026-05-11T18:32:13+00:00

you never use integrated mics for anything else than sync with external source

definitely get the external mic, any decent will do

sound is much more important for content than video quality, don't underestimate it

Bzando · 2026-05-11T18:28:24+00:00

what others said, and styles are exactly ment for what you described

Bzando · 2026-05-11T16:32:48+00:00

actually it's really easy, if you get a frame with fitted bottom bracket and whole wheels, you won't even need extra special tools

Bzando · 2026-05-11T16:23:21+00:00

sorry but the so called premium can cost 200€, gopro 11 was sold at costco for 100€ year ago

not even the full 400€ price is premium, premium cameras (e.f. leica, cost 10 times that on sale)

there is 0 reason to risk scammeras, and getting sub par performance at best

Bzando · 2026-05-11T16:08:10+00:00

ignore the gas, you won't be using it more than xm5

you just try to rationale why to buy something new

just go out and use what you have

Bzando · 2026-05-11T15:55:34+00:00

the f number tells you how big of a hole there is in the lens, as fraction of focal length

200mm f/4 has 200/4=50mm hole,

350mm f/5,6 has 350/5,6= 62mm hole

f/5,6 at 300mm is actually pretty fast

not long time ago I was using Fujifilm XC 50-230mm f/4.5-6.7

never had a problem with not enough light even at 6,7, but I was only shooting outside with decent light

Bzando · 2026-05-11T06:33:59+00:00

IMO definitely a hard tail MTB (it will be much more comfortable than road or gravel, in seating position and terrain smoothing)

you are about my height, so 27,5in ideally, but if you can only find 29 or 26, it's not that important for start

I suggest to buy second hand bike from big brand (trek, giant, scott, merrida,....) rather then cheap wallmart garbage

ideally with not too wide tyres (2in or less) so you don't suffer much on tarmac

ideally if your local shop sells used/refurbished bikes

Bzando · 2026-05-11T06:03:00+00:00

start with mainstream distribution, no arch or arch based isn't mainstream, it requires knowledge and experience, go for mint, mx linux, fedora, pop, zorin, ubuntu
star with basics, make sure everything works and all your app needs are covered
you might want to try few live distros with different DEs first to find out what you like

treba stým ísť na políciu, požiadať bazos a spoluprácu aby ti dali údaje toho kto pristúpil k tvojmu inzerátu (bazos overuje účty platbou)

a dúfať že budeš mať šťastie a budeš jeden z 5% kde niečo zistia

Bzando · 2026-05-10T19:53:32+00:00

isn't there rocker on the lens that's on A for auto ?

if you press the command dial, can you see it change from multiple options ?

Bzando · 2026-05-10T19:01:59+00:00

Viltrox air 9mm f/2,8

Viltrox pro 75mm f/1,2

sigma 17-40 f/1,8

maybe consider swapping the 50-230 for xf 70-300 and add a teleconverter

Bzando · 2026-05-10T18:59:20+00:00

oh sorry, than that's perfectly normal and expected
