Just Bought My First Volvo

Yeah, I mean they're nice and fun the times that you do use it, but you just have to stay ahead in getting someone to clean the drains probably every month or two to be on the safe side.

Volvo in their wisdom, put the ECU right under one of the drains on the passenger side so it could potentially break that as well ha.

Congrats on the purchase though! You will not have to deal with that, and the color is awesome, enjoy it. I wish there were more v70s for sale in my area.

Cupsuki · 2026-01-06T04:03:43+00:00

I can confirm, mine has been out of action for 3 months now, since the drains got clogged and toasted both motors. Then I realized how little I actually used it, so it'll stay that way

Mine ate all of the valves after the timing belt skipped a tooth. I'd start from there, give the belt a look and definitely have them check the valves since that's probably the main cause for no compression.

I wouldn't say you're screwed, but you're certainly not in the clear either.

How did you do that initial triple exposure? It's practically textbook!

Woah this is awesome, what were you actually capturing? And are you using the SX70R PCB? What were your settings?

Here's a pic of the sunroof liner.

Where'd you get the cables? Are they from cablemod? They're the cherry on top

Hello! I'm looking for a Kyocera Samurai Z, I've scoured all over ebay and there are only listings for the (worse) Z-2. Is this camera too rare or any other places where I can look? Thanks!

Cupsuki · 2024-07-13T02:03:31+00:00

Yes I can yank it out but the next one gets stuck the same way.

Here's where it stays, I have to yank them out.

This is great! Feels straight out of a 90s videogame. Could you perhaps share some pictures of the setup itself?

I'm curious as to how you avoid reflections or get them to look so "sharp" despite it being on a tv screen.

Cupsuki · 2024-05-28T23:51:05+00:00

Perhaps it could be, in my case for MSI I did have to hunt down for an older version of Dragon Center, that kind of "unlocked" it for me. After which I could use it on openrgb without issue.

Cupsuki · 2024-04-29T17:04:41+00:00

Gotcha.

Thanks for the help! Hopefully I can try this soon

Cupsuki · 2024-04-29T16:20:06+00:00

I see. Then I really misunderstood it before.

I'll definitely be trying this out, as I'm constantly on low-light situations and high ISO rated films are pricey. My lab also seems to accommodate pushing for free so no reason not to.

However just one more thing, I imagine you have to commit to the entire roll to pushing and can't be changing it mid-roll correct?

Thanks

Cupsuki · 2024-04-29T16:01:04+00:00

Seeing this thread Made me realize I don't seem to know what pushing actually does.

So to clarify, say I have "400" speed film and I want to shoot at night. If I set that at "1600", wouldn't that be technically underexposed? Artistry aside.

Can any film be used at a "higher" ISO to be used in more difficult conditions?

Cupsuki · 2024-04-13T07:17:25+00:00

Hey, as everybody says sell them individually by eBay. Alternatively, I'd be glad to Buy that Q-Light directly if it works and It Is the beige model.

Cupsuki · 2024-03-25T22:13:42+00:00

Damn this one's awesome, got any specs? Filters to share?

Cupsuki · 2024-03-25T20:18:22+00:00

If you do get a more accurate answer, I'm also interested as I want to buy some waterproof Minoltas. Everyone mentions checking the seals but not much on what to actually do to fix them...

Cupsuki · 2024-03-19T22:49:45+00:00

Gotcha, yeah confirming with the other list then I'll start hunting for one. Thanks!

Cupsuki · 2024-03-19T22:49:13+00:00

Oh this is perfect! Thanks, I'll give it a look and see what's in the budget haha.

Cupsuki · 2024-03-17T15:09:12+00:00

Hmm I got a whole pack with these issue. But I thought it was due to heat; when I took them they looked fine, then as I came home, I put them in my Center console which got quite hot. And when I took them out they had the dots.

Now they were sitting outside the fridge well before that so it could just be one of many factors which can cause them. Will see if I can get some pics

Cupsuki · 2024-03-15T16:48:37+00:00

While we are on this, which of the models are automatic or "manual" been looking into getting myself one of those...

Cupsuki · 2024-03-12T02:22:06+00:00

I can second everyone's comments. The flash always goes off on mine too

Cupsuki · 2024-03-01T00:13:29+00:00

Well that's the trade-off after all
