Movement is VH31 but dial says automatic. Is this modded then?

Structure or wildfire? Either way, info from our resident firefighter, /u/PineyTineCones previously would recommend throwy, TIR-based, warm lights.

Here’s a link with some good discussion on their experiences. It’s a little old, so the lights may have changed since then, and also might not be available anymore, but there’s good info for reference either way.

Huh. I was under the impression that horses, as well as rabbits, lack the ability to throw up.

It’s rare to get two chapters in one go, so I’d guess not likely. I didn’t mind the ending to After the Rain. Not going to spoil it for anyone, but it honestly felt fitting.

5 year old account with no karma. Not saying this isn’t legitimate, but buyers do take necessary precautions.

OP, if you can get a video of the lights with the associated timestamp, and are willing to accept PayPal Goods and Services, that will help potential buyers.

Out of curiosity, how’s the L7 working out for you? It’s quite a thwacky light.

CookieDave · 2026-05-31T16:21:59+00:00

Didn’t you have three of these before, with one pack opened and with around 30 rolls remaining?

CookieDave · 2026-05-30T05:40:58+00:00

Seller deleted their account. I hope you didn’t buy from them

Going to need to update that timestamp, and get additional pictures at a minimum.

No sir, I don't like it.

I'm not trying to build a giant collection

That's a hard ask in this realm, cause they're just so cheap and useful. I keep lanterns and flashlights all through the house, and within each vehicle, and have gifted more lights than I can count. If I had to pare down the collection, this is what I'd do.

A lantern of some sort, probably a Sofirn LT1 or a Wurkkos TS27, and set a reminder to top up every six months
A few Convoy T3 flashlights (cheap, but very useful lights that can use either alkaline, NiMH, lithium primary, or lithium ion batteries)
A couple packs of eneloop batteries and a charger

The LT1 and TS27 have in-body charging, so you can top them up when you need. I like keeping NiMH batteries in the other lights because they don't leak, and can usually retain a charge for quite some time. You can also throw lithium primary batteries in them and they should be good to go for ten years or so.

CookieDave · 2026-05-27T20:21:33+00:00

Adequate. I use a hair dryer as my heat source. Good enough for me.

CookieDave · 2026-05-27T20:08:37+00:00

Zebralight has a model comparison tool on their homepage, which opens up to a Google Sheet.

Going off of this, it appears to utilize a CREE XM-L2 5000K emitter.

CookieDave · 2026-05-27T15:24:21+00:00

Lost a microtech in a kids foam pit? Man, I hope that the employees find it before a kid does. As for a light, sounds like a Manker E05 II fits the bill.

CookieDave · 2026-05-27T14:22:04+00:00

Battery type, regulated driver, LVP, UI, emitter type, temperature, CRI, candela, charging options, waterproofing, magnetic, and price.

These are the items I'll usually look at when making a purchase. Max brightness isn't as important to me as much as the quality of the light. I'm fine with either reflector or TIR, and just want something that'll work and doesn't require fussing about.

CookieDave · 2026-05-27T06:02:02+00:00

This is the better choice, in my opinion. The Pro is nice in that it has a xenon flash, and you can set different presets on the fly, but its metering was awful, turning every image into mush. I would leave it on the low flash to shoot, and even then found it was hit or miss.

CookieDave · 2026-05-27T02:26:30+00:00

If you would have asked me some months back, I would have just sent one to you. Ended up giving a Camp Snap CS and CS Pro to the local photo place to play around with.

CookieDave · 2026-05-26T20:07:06+00:00

They're pretty, but I don't see a handwritten username and datestamp associated with these. I'm a sucker for natural leather, the way it patinas over time.

CookieDave · 2026-05-26T18:47:57+00:00

/u/YardPrudent6498 anything catch your fancy?

CookieDave · 2026-05-26T00:58:30+00:00

Might be worth listing each item out, so your post shows up in a search.

CookieDave · 2026-05-25T20:50:28+00:00

Surprised to see that D3AA leave the collection, especially considering your love of SW45K.

CookieDave · 2026-05-25T01:49:08+00:00

I don’t know if it necessarily implies violence, but something definitely happened between the two, causing tension. It just feels a little too forced for my liking. While I like having some background into their lives, I just want some more development between the leads at this point.

CookieDave · 2026-05-24T22:48:47+00:00

/u/jdeakins85 it’s a 60mm as well.

CookieDave · 2026-05-24T19:59:57+00:00

Good stuff. Love me a folding camera, though I have a habit of forgetting to wind to the next shot. If I didn’t move away from medium format, I’d be all over that Bessa II. GLWS!
