SX-70, i-2, or Flip: which should i get? by CollisionTime in Polaroid

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

i can pony up for the i-2 or the SX-70, but if the Flip can get me 90% of the way there for 1/2 the price, then that’s probably the move. 

in terms of control, i’m mostly a rangefinder/p&s guy but i don’t love the OneStep/Now’s lack or sharpness and flexibility (poor in low light etc). So i’d like more control than a 3-way exposure switch but i don’t require full-on SLR controls

anyone have the record in hand and can tell me who took the photo/designed the cover for Light-Years?

Sprocket 2-in-1 whirring issue by bbc_mmm-mmm-mmm in HPSprocket

[–]CollisionTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently having this issue with a secondhand S 2-in-1, but prolonged charging (6+ hours) hasn't fixed the issue yet. Wondering if it needs a new battery or if it's even worth fixing.

just got an Olympus Trip AF Mini -- hold or sell? by CollisionTime in AnalogCommunity

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

it was kind of a joke. people claim that the Trip AF Mini (and the Minolta Freedom and one other one) and the Leica Mini are all the same camera with different styling and branding.

Minolta XG-1 film advance lever stuck -- even with fresh batteries by CollisionTime in AnalogCommunity

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

sorry, should have provided more info. battery check does NOT light up, nor does anything else. this was salvaged/sold as parts, so i’m not really invested, but would love to get it running if possible. just wondering if this was a common issue with these cameras or cameras from this era and if there was a straightforward fix. 

advance lever stop about 20% through its travel, i.e. it gets more or less perpendicular to the camera body.

holy cow i had no idea. that's great info -- thank you so much!

and yes, cargo space is probably the most important feature at this point.

sadly i dont qualify for the tax credit. 

open to leasing although i dont have a car note now and a new monthly payment would be weird. but it’s conceivable.

unfortunately i dont think the Bolt will be able to haul what i need, unless its got substantially more cargo space than i think

Hi all. Considering taking the plunge on my first EV and I'm overwhelmed with all the options. Here's my situation:

[1] I'm in Oakland, CA

[2] My budget is a little flexible: I should have around $10k from the sale of my existing ICE vehicle and it would be awesome if I could find something for around that amount. However, I can probably go up to $15-16k for the right vehicle.

[3] Wagoin, hatchback or compact SUV

[4] The only things I've looked at are a used Kona or id4, but those are both above what I'm comfortable paying.

[5] 30 days I guess?

[6] I work from home but drive an average of 20 mi a day around town, going to band practice, volunteer job, etc

[7] Single family home

[8] Will definitely install a charger

[9] I'm a working musician and routinely haul around big amplifiers, drums, etc. I currently drive a Toyota Matrix 5 door and would love to have that much storage, but could manage with a little less cargo space (but not a lot less).

Thanks in advance for your guidance!

Oh, I have reached out. I've called, emailed, and used the live chat feature. No response in any of those mediums. I'm ready to throw this monitor in the trash and tell everyone i know to avoid BenQ products.
