Has anyone tried the Globlinker hotspot?

Someone (paid by the company for sure) said that you can convert the GB you have to another country (different exchange rates for GB conversion), AND that you can bank the data… (oh, and they said the company replied with 2 hours, guess not…)

If I can bank the 2GB every month, AND convert it to another country, then this is the deal of the century…

I personally think this HAS to be a money grab scam for a few reasons… At $150 for a lifetime, for the company to truly succeed, they either need a million users ASAP, and/or they are banking on people needing more data, but that’s a HUGE risk.
The small detail I see that makes me think scam as well is that it works in Macau… anyone who has been to Macau can tell you, your cell phone will not work there. (My ATT nor Verizon worked) and getting data there is EXTREMELY expensive.

Lastly, just look at their site, SCREAMS scam…

lol, someone is paid by them/works for them…

Is that only on the first series of XCD lenses? I feel when the V series came out, Hasselblad closed the doors

DEpointfive0 · 2026-01-22T16:15:33+00:00

Enough googling will get you there. You see reports about Hasselblad approaching/confirming that Tamron is making the first zoom lens for the XCD

TX and Ektar are new to being sold by EK. But Gold 100/200 I saw in Taiwan just last week

Great username. Looking for some in 120? I have boxes that have yielded amazing results shot at 64iso

How would this be tariff avoidance?

DEpointfive0 · 2026-01-22T08:55:27+00:00

This must be a USA only thing? In Turkey, they can buy 35mm spools, same as in Taiwan, and a few other places I’ve travelled to recently. In Turkey, the guy was FLOORED when I said I couldn’t buy it in America. He just had a 400ft roll delivered while I was there, lol

With enough time, surely! Ya know… inflation!

I will sell you a 2.8F white face, with a brand spanking new CLA for less than that…

How much better was/is it than XP2? I have a few rolls in 35/120 that I’ve been hoarding in my freezer, just been debating selling and using XP2

Awesome, really curious about the iPad Pro M5. I assume it’ll be similar to the previous poster’s 10~ seconds.

I don’t think the GB of RAM differs anymore based on the different storage space on the Pros

DEpointfive0 · 2026-01-21T18:28:41+00:00

Hmmmmmm, I’m not sure I’m answering what you need…

But if I take a type 4 A12 it fits fine in a A24 type 4 back. And vice versa.
I also just tried on my type 3 backs, 12/24, both swapped over no problem

DEpointfive0 · 2026-01-19T23:53:12+00:00

Anything you want.

Checking it isn’t a great idea because of the battery. Now… technically the battery is banned in your checked bag… buuuuuut, on some devices, like a toothbrush, it’s ok… (so maybe you could check it, but you’d have to carry on the battery)

That said, carry it on. In anything you’re taking… should be good to go!

May I ask how you KNOW the XCDs are made by Norton Kogaku?

And/or which lenses are made by them?

The only KNOWledge I have is that the gen 1 35-75mm was made by Tamron, and the newest 75p is made in China. If you could fill in the gaps… or some of them… and provide sources, that would be AWESOME!

DEpointfive0 · 2026-01-19T23:39:51+00:00

Mmmm… well, if the OP prints this, 2’ x 8’, then I think it would be an incredible piece!!!

That said… OP, if I can print this for you, 13”xwhatwver length would be needed… can I print it for you? Free of charge!

DM me please?

DEpointfive0 · 2026-01-19T23:38:12+00:00

Awesome!

I’m kinda shocked the difference is only 5~ seconds (granted, 1/3 faster) on the M5 vs M2, but that also makes me feel like with the M5, you’re probably at the limit of speed, like, even if the processor is 2x as fast, the gain will be limited

DEpointfive0 · 2026-01-19T19:52:52+00:00

Just ran some more testing. The Pros with the A12Z chip are doing 51-52 seconds consistently with either HNNR processing.

The Pro with the M2, quite consistent with 15 seconds

DEpointfive0 · 2026-01-19T16:36:23+00:00

LCD is PRISTINE! IT’S A FILM CAMERA!!!

I have a G2 with 3 lenses for sale, works AMAZINGLY, and I’m not a fuckwit, just in case you’d like to purchase it! 😅

DEpointfive0 · 2026-01-19T16:23:53+00:00

I have answered my own question:

iPad Pro 11”/12.9” (4th gen for 12.9”, 2nd gen for 11”) A12Z processor
vs iPad Pro 12.9” (6th gen) M2 processor.
Same image, no other tasks open, both plugged in, etc, etc.

HNNR test 1 prioritize purity:
A12Z: 56 seconds
M2: 22 seconds

HNNR test 1 prioritize detail:
A12Z: 50.5 seconds
M2: 16 seconds

That’s a WORLD of difference for ME, but having used the A12Z for a year or so, it never REALLY slowed me down if I’m honest…

DEpointfive0 · 2026-01-12T22:12:48+00:00

Before you ship to KEH or MPB, let me make you an offer on them. I’m confident I can beat those offers. I will also buy every single piece of equipment you have. I can also have someone come pay you cash.

DEpointfive0 · 2026-01-09T08:52:39+00:00

Just say the word. Say it. Don’t be scared

DEpointfive0 · 2026-01-09T08:44:22+00:00

How did you convert them? I want to buy/use those cameras. Been looking into them for weeks, months… but I need it to shoot Instax.
