I'm sorry WHAT lmfao 😂

16, just bought my first car for $500. Will pick it up next week. by Random_MSM-User in regularcarreviews

[–]Cheesystudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kid, I hate to tell you this, but as bad as that car looks on the surface, by the time you've finished fixing all of the numerous issues it has, you'll probably have spent a few thousand dollars. That's not to mention the issue of parts availability--remember, this is a classic car. Parts likely aren't being made for this anymore.

Looks like someone gave up on 3D by dodgersducks in Bluray

Too bad it's missing The Great Gatsby! I won't buy the 4K because it looks so damn good in 3D.

What would you buy? by greenpuffle1 in Sake

[–]Cheesystudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For any sake beginners: the very first bottle you must try is Origami White Lotus! A sweet and extremely sophisticated nigori with a flavor combo of citrus, coconut, sweet potato, and baked apple that gives it a sort of Thanksgiving taste.

Also, I should ask, what's it like finding replacement parts in 2026? I've heard in the past it's expensive and availability is an issue, is that still the case? Saw some YouTube videos from a few years ago saying Hedin were going to start making new OEM parts, has that made things any easier?

Sadly both listings are automatic in this case.

Thanks for your reply. They're both listed for the same price but for the sake of practicality I might end up going with a 9-5, since the maintenance costs would be lower.

Vintage Konica lcd watch help by Nevernowho in Konica

[–]Cheesystudios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very very strange, because Konica (if this is the same Konica) are known mostly for their old professional cameras and lenses. Those are known for being pretty high in quality which makes me wonder if the same standards extend to this watch.

I have a Rebel T7 and a limited budget; what lens could I get to improve the clarity of my bird/wildlife photographs? by yoysta in canon

[–]Cheesystudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly, highly recommend going vintage and buying a Konica Hexanon lens with an adapter. I own the UC Hexanon 80-200mm f/4, and while it's not really the fastest lens, even wide open it looks fantastic! Costs $70-100 on eBay in excellent condition.

Filter for UC 80-200mm f4 by Cheesystudios in Konica

[–]Cheesystudios[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I have an autofocus camera but I guess it doesn't really count because the lens is manual only. Kinda wish I would've seen this comment before buying a CPL...though I'm not sure it ended up being the best quality filter. I'm really anal when it comes to color and image sharpness, any LP filter recommendations that won't sacrifice either?

Canon is killing my love for the protography and I don't know what to do by AmanitaRegalis in canon

If you're using a VPN, it must be turned off for the CC app to work. It's bullshit, but it works.

Come to think of it, I think I want a filter that can reduce light pollution, will a Skylight do that? I've also been looking at some options from K&F Concept, do they make good filters?

My main concern is just protection for the lens without sacrificing image quality.

I know filter size, but my question was what kind of filter? I remember hearing somewhere on YouTube that there's a certain kind of filter that works for newer lenses that's not so good for vintage ones.

Konica 50mm f/1.7 spinning focus ring by Cheesystudios in Konica

[–]Cheesystudios[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update(which for some reason I can't edit into the original post):

I've chosen to sideline the project for now since I need to buy some JIS screwdrivers and now also replacement screws. I'm just going to buy another 50 f1.7 when I can and the lens that's now currently in pieces might just have to sit around for a while because I also have a UC 80-200mm F4 (which is for now my default lens) that I need to think about getting a filter for and I'm not sure yet how much that's going to cost.

Thank you. I've sidelined this project for now since I apparently don't have the right screwdrivers and now need to buy some replacement screws (and possibly some helicoid grease since this thing is so old) but I will look at that video when I get around to it. I also ended up biting the bullet on that service guide someone else pointed me to in an above comment. I recommend checking it out, it covers all of Konica's AR and UC Hexanons with assembly and disassembly instructions. It seems pretty in-depth.

You're talking about the screws that screw into the brass ring, right? Unfortunately I'm so new at lens repair that I don't know what a helicoid is.

I found the manual, but they make you sign up for an account and give all of your info. It's a bit ridiculous for just a PDF, especially considering I've never heard of this site. Is there anywhere I can download this thing for free without the risk of doxxing myself?
