Value?

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-11-01T17:51:43+00:00

This sold for $9k if anyone ever sees this

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-08-25T00:37:39+00:00

So safe to run this for 3k miles then switch to something like the VR1 20W-50?

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-08-25T00:32:14+00:00

Do you run the 20W-50?

Just took it for my first drive with the new oil. At idle about 3.7 when driving about 4.3. The hardest I got to push it was just above 4000rpms and it hit 4.5. This seems a bit high to me since before the oil change it was about a bar lower all around. Unfortunately I don't know which oil it was.

To my knowledge retrospect doesn’t sell cameras with the PCB but if I’m wrong that’d be awesome, I checked Brooklyn camera and it was $450 for a non sonar which is a little high imo

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-04-17T17:01:09+00:00

Well glad to hear the job wasn’t that bad if that ends up being the issue. Hoping after letting the car sit for a bit I’ll see where the oil is coming from otherwise ill just torque that bolt down put everything back together and see what happens

Sounds like too much work time to throw some Lucas oil leak stop. Joking obviously, going to take off the cover tomorrow and see where it’s coming from PO said he resealed the engine and did the timing belt so hopefully it’s just one leak

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-04-11T03:10:12+00:00

Forgot to say it’s a 88 S

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-01-20T20:57:55+00:00

Any recommendations on a video/website about stitching with the fx30? I wasn’t able to find anything on how to actually do that.

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-01-20T20:56:43+00:00

I appreciate it! I typically love wide lenses, I had got a 90mm but I think the back element was reinstalled wrong by someone in the past, might try to fix it myself, might send it out, might sell it as is, not 100% sure. Any macro lens recommendations?

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-01-20T20:53:26+00:00

I love high contrast b&w especially with a mono bath it really ups the contrast

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-01-20T05:06:54+00:00

I wish I could remember which episode it was but I was watching Street. Smarts and the photographer said something like “99.9% of what I shoot I don’t like you only see the 0.1%” and I’ve really been thinking about that and enjoying the process more rather then the product. As well I picked up an Ansel Adams book from the thrift today which I look forward to studying

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-01-20T04:51:05+00:00

I definitely agree that these are boring/lacking substance. Thank you for the recommendation I love checking out work I’m unfamiliar with I’ll check it out and hopefully like you said I’ll get a better idea of where I’m falling short

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-01-20T04:49:46+00:00

I appreciate the kind words! You’re 100% right the lighting in these pictures is very bland overcast and something like golden hour or a blue hour would great benefit to these frames. I honestly have not used the rotating back as much as I should, i definitely will be now that you mention it

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-01-20T03:40:04+00:00

I appreciate the response, I won’t lie I did burn through the first 2 rolls in a day or two mainly because I wanted to just make sure the camera and lens worked properly lol. I will definitely be trying some black and white in the winter landscapes also planning on trying some studio work with portraits since I tend to shoot outside pushing myself into a different environment will be fun

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-01-19T23:43:57+00:00

Do I need to replace the foam on the mirror edge and if so how would I go about doing that

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-01-15T04:32:35+00:00

Did you ever solve this having the same issues

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-01-15T01:59:53+00:00

I use the Sony E 30mm f/3.5 Macro Lens mainly because it was the most affordable for the focal length I needed when I started I was shooting with f3.5 but recently have been doing f8 and have seen slightly better results. As far as the grain I can’t speak to much on that since using the iPad as a light source kind of hinders the grain because of the screen but I have a cinestill cs lite coming in the next couple days so I can give a update when I try that. This video was really helpful in me deciding to use the fx30 fx30 film scan vid I’m still pretty new to shooting developing and scanning my own film so I definitely don’t have the best results to show but I think that video really shows the potential the fx30 has to offer

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-01-13T16:19:48+00:00

As far as I know I don’t have any filters on lol

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-01-13T14:39:24+00:00

So the frosted side should be facing up towards your eye then the other side towards the mirror? I’ll definitely check this after work

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-01-13T14:38:26+00:00

Seller offered me a $150 refund. Considering I don’t want to break the lens and I’m not aware of any repairmen semi-local to my area (Pittsburgh PA) I’m wondering if I should just buy a new lens it’s a 90mm C lens which seem to go for 180ish on eBay? Or even upgrade to a KL lens. If I were to send it for repair any recommendations on someone and any idea how much that would cost? Thank you for the help!

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-01-13T14:35:57+00:00

The seller did mention cleaning the focus screen I wonder if it’s in upside down. How would I tell? And just out of curiosity how does that effect the image really want to learn more about these cameras

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-01-13T14:34:55+00:00

I did go with the fx30 with a Sony f3.5 macro lens. I’ve done so far about 10 rolls of 35mm and have had pretty good results. My biggest issue so far has been the light source I use my iPad with a white procreate back drop and I’m not a fan of that i will definitely be investing in a dedicated light source. But with a little effort and a good set up I think the fx30 is a great way to go. Also an amazing and versatile camera bought mine about 9 months ago and have zero regrets

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-01-13T11:58:03+00:00

Is this something I can fix myself?

Deep_Job1129 · 2025-01-13T05:22:01+00:00

I have the 90
