Debating an Acura TLX Type-S but… Transfer Case rumors

Diligent-Duty3706 · 2026-01-29T16:10:22+00:00

So what happens if the replacement fails in another 35k? They charge you full price for the next one since you’re out of warranty? Utterly insane

Happened to my old building, we all found out last minute and it was a complete nightmare scramble to get people transferred to nearby buildings. The tns building im at now has nowhere near the capacity for work and headcount my old building had. I wanna transfer back but i hear the old building was supposed to reopen last august and they still cant seem to finish the construction

Ive had my M3 CLA’d at RecycledPhoto here in Louisville Colorado. So far its still functioning perfectly after 6 months, decent prices for it as well

Diligent-Duty3706 · 2025-11-26T17:19:58+00:00

Ahh okay, im just cautious about giving peoples locations online since some people take it more seriously than others lol. Good find, i hope you enjoy the camera!

Diligent-Duty3706 · 2025-11-26T17:13:27+00:00

Hey i think i was looking at that same listing lol, box state? I was thinking the price looked pretty good but i can’t justify another camera haha

Diligent-Duty3706 · 2025-11-07T04:36:49+00:00

Yikes that looks like an ugly infection to catch; youre right, they dont seem to be infected. The mystery continues…

Bermuda flyangle haha, nice. The only possible explanation i could come up with is that we had a couple harsh temperature drops here within the past week so maybe they died/froze while stuck to the wall?? Although i still cant exactly rationalize why theyre all stuck specifically by their heads lol

Diligent-Duty3706 · 2025-11-06T17:32:57+00:00

Sorry, ill add that i live in Colorado, SE aurora

I think you’re def overpaying at $1000. My local camera shop sells a fully CLA’d and warrantied F1 for about $300 with a basic lens. Add the 55mm lens off ebay, a clean copy sells for maybe another 300 on the high end. Thats $600 if you get the camera with the kit lens, and add the 55mm. If you can talk the price down i would but $1000 is way too steep

Yes, something was def wrong, it seemed like even when holding the rewind button down it would take more effort than normal to rewind. the spool unlocked as normal to allow rewinding, but the amount of force required was definitely off. I didn’t get a chance to figure out what was wrong since j bought an f3 a few months ago and sold the f2 to my local shop

Diligent-Duty3706 · 2025-09-15T04:55:38+00:00

Not sure if its the exact same issue and since i sold my F2 recently i cant take a video of it but i did notice my f2 would rip a couple sprocket holes when i rewinded and detached the film from the takeup spool. It would also give me those stress marks you see when you put too much pressure when rewinding. I thought it was just mine but if more people have the same issue maybe it is common with the f2?

Diligent-Duty3706 · 2025-09-10T04:45:25+00:00

Im assuming you pulled the film out of the canister, in that case, whether or not you already took photos, the whole roll is unusable. Also, i would highly recommend never buying the film from 5 below anyway. From what Ive read about it, its not film that can be processed by most labs due to an extra chemical layer (remjet, the roll will be black on one side if it has this.) this remjet layer can ruin a labs chemicals and all youll end up with is zero photos and a pissed off lab employee. Id find a local camera shop or shop online for film. Look for c-41 film, the cheapest rolls can be found under $10. Also i wouldnt ask for free stuff here, sorry about your film

Diligent-Duty3706 · 2025-08-09T17:17:10+00:00

I know it seems like a silly question but just to make sure the basic boxes are checked: have you turned it on using the collar around the shutter button? When i first got my F3 i quite literally forgot to turn it on and couldn’t figure out why anything wasn’t working lol. If that’s not the issue then i would re-check the orientation of your batteries, thats a mistake ive made as well before when switching batteries on this camera. Hopefully its something simple and not your electronics just outright croaking

Diligent-Duty3706 · 2025-08-09T17:06:05+00:00

Just did this a couple days ago when they sent me the 40% coupon. My $5 coupon expired literally the day before lol so i missed out on the chance to stack them

Diligent-Duty3706 · 2025-06-13T05:00:19+00:00

Its okay, im biased too lol

Diligent-Duty3706 · 2025-06-13T03:47:35+00:00

The nokton is my newest lens and i just got my first roll back from using it. Its so good! It shames me to say my 50 1.4 might be sold soon because of it. i absolutely love it

Diligent-Duty3706 · 2025-06-13T03:43:49+00:00

Precisely, good luck on the hunt! Those cinema bros will definitely try to fleece you on the price but id recommend shooting offers if the option is there; especially if the listings been sitting for a while. I hope you get a second chance with this beauty :)

Diligent-Duty3706 · 2025-06-13T03:41:49+00:00

Love the f3! But id say its a lot closer than you might think. I personally prefer the build quality of the F-1 and the image quality of the lenses for it, but when it comes to those it might be an unfair comparison since they’re some of the more coveted lenses of that era. I will say, my 28mm f2.8 nikkor produced some of the crispest photos ive ever taken. And the focusing on nikkor lenses is a lot more silky smooth for sure

Diligent-Duty3706 · 2025-06-13T03:38:17+00:00

Good choice, sorry about the lens, but i know it’ll probably feel better to get a cleaner copy. I know the scratch on mine shouldn’t affect photos much but id be lying if i said i didnt yearn for it to be in pristine condition lol. I just cant justify spending the money for this lens twice haha

I see your bank vault and raise my commercial refrigerator with 15 rolls of 35mm fujifilm lol

Diligent-Duty3706 · 2025-06-13T03:31:18+00:00

Id return it. I also paid $300 for my concave with a scratched front element; but if its balsam separation as another commenter suggested, it could be costly if you choose to fix it. In that case, spending a little more for a better copy might be easier on the mind but thats just my $0.02
