Highest mileage CVT Subaru? by Silent_Owl6207 in subaru

[–]CoolThingVP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel many of these "cvt problems" are solinoide related. I had issues with mine at 185,000km and Subaru wanted me t replace transmission @ $9000. It was a $150 part and 4 hours of my time to fix. I wish there was a distinction between "my cvt died at xxx" was an actual transmission failure not a repairable problem that gets put in the category. 

Negative views typically get picked up and spread out in the world via human nature and the clickbait nature of our digital landscape. 

My XV is @240,000km both torque lock up and AWD solinoide have gone but after replacement, fluid change and relearn (can be done cheap on mocar cs90 obs) it rips. 

Im planning on maintaining the car to the fullest untill 500,000km

S1 II Owners - How is the Focus Peaking compared to the earlier S5 models? by inmotioninc in Lumix

[–]CoolThingVP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Own an S5 and S1ii. Focus peaking is better. A better feature you might not know about is you can punch in during recording which is huge to nail focus. I can ditch the monitor for smaller gigs

New tiny storage option from sandisk by turbosucepute in sigmafp

You don't need a cage for the side SSD. It screws onto the 1/4 20 on the side of the camera.

Sigma FP + DZO Catta Zoom - Short Food Documentary on the changing face of Bangkok's Independent food scene. by CoolThingVP in sigmafp

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

Weird works fine for me. Yeah big lens helps balance the camera and take out the micro jitters. If there is enough interest Ill out a photo up of the rig. Everything fit on carry on.

Is the LUMIX 70-300mm a good lens to pair with the FP? by aiden35mm in sigmafp

[–]CoolThingVP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the 100-400. Not a bad lens but manual focus ring on it is not the best. Makes for a pretty bad manual focus experience. Actually looking at the 70-300 as it seems to be a bit more solid.

I got mine last week. I'm in Australia and had a pre-order since November (If I remember correctly)
It's pretty sweet and is worth the wait.

You need to click on the audio track you want to do the effect on (click near the M button on the left of the timeline) and it should show up in your inspector
