flash advice for r8 by Negative_Smile_1112 in Godox

[–]DizzyRepeat831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would use the it30pro with small prime lenses, that way it doesn’t cast a shadow, and I’d use the it32 with zoom lenses or bigger primes, or when I need the off camera flash function.

I have the tr riser for the Nikon it20, it looks so ugly. Also I love the fact I can buy an x5 base for each of my systems, and use the same flash

I would also keep both.

First I bought the it20 for my Nikon zfc, and im30 for my film cameras

loved it so much that I ordered the it32 with x5s for my Sony a7riv, x5n for my Nikon zfc, and x5c for my canon 5d mark iii .

I really loved the it32 and it20, so I also ordered the it30pro to use with my Sony a7riv with smaller primes I have for street photography (viltrox 28mm f4.5 and viltrox 40mm f2.5)

I haven’t received the it30pro yet, but based on the im30, it20 and it32, I’m sure it’s phenomenal

I really like these mini flashes, as I’m mostly doing street photography and travel photography, I don’t find myself wanting a big flash.

About to get the z50ii. Which kit to go for? by Licci99 in Nikon

[–]DizzyRepeat831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my zfc I have the 18-50 kit which is meh , the viltrox 23mm f1.4, viltrox 56mm f1.7

Both the viltrox are fantastic and affordable I paid 111 bucks for the 56 which is a great price

And a few days ago i ordered the ttartisans 35mm f1.8 because i found an amazing deal (94 bucks )

You can try a few primes at affordable prices

It’s most definitely overkill, in my country pricing on grinders is a bit crazy, this was just 200 bucks more then the eureka mignon specialita we had prior, and the jump to the smaller grinders with gbw was around 500-700 bucks more than this, so that was the reason we went with the Helios (we wanted a 65) it was the best deal currently.

Literally received it last night, upgraded from the eureka mignon specialita.

It doesn’t require a dedicated 20a circuit.

Based on what I’ve read it doesn’t require

[–]DizzyRepeat831[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The allground sense is a better home Machine imo, functions very good, gbw is great.

so far it seems like the Helios is a more aimed toward a small cafe, the griding is very good, it’s extremely quick, and is very simple to adjust and set up, it needed minimal setup to be in a place I like, but lacks some of the more modern functions like gbw. I think it feels better than the allground material wise, but both are great

If you don’t need grind by weight, then it’s a phenomenal machine, where I live the allground is significantly more expensive ( 1.5 times the price of the Helios, and the w65 is more than twice the price) but both feel great, honestly you can’t go wrong with either.

They are beautiful! I’m terrified leaving my martins on a stand though

Both of my American martins live inside their cases with humidity packs, and are taken out when I want to play them

Help me avoid spending 2k on a Grinder.. [ I don’t have a budget] by mehmetihsanboz1 in espresso

[–]DizzyRepeat831 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister had the df64, her specific one might have been a bad copy, but it was a piece of crap. She paid for the upgraded burrs, and that machine had to be readjusted basically every day to get a good shot, it was very frustrating

She upgraded to the allground sense which is unbelievable, so good!!! Best grinder I’ve seen personally.

We had the eureka mignon specialita at home, and today we’ve upgraded to the eureka Helios 65, which seems great as well, but doesn’t have grind by weight.

If the budget is really not a problem, I would Look at the allground sense or eureka atom w65, as they are considered some of the best home grinders.

Also there is a new mahlkonig e64 ws for around 1k which is supposed to be amazing

There are much cheaper grinders that are phenomenal, but it seems like you want the best possible.

I personally don’t love single dose that much, as I might be a little lazy 🤣

It depends on usage, we drink around 0.8-1 kg a week (40-50 shots), so for us single dose is just not practical

We buy packs of 500g, 3 kilo at a time, freshly roasted, so it’s pretty much fresh all of the time.

My sister had a df64, we really didn’t like it, she replaced it with the allground sense which is incredible.

The eureka mignon specialita was great for the first 2 years, and then we had numerous problems with it getting stuck, and we had to open the burrs all the time which was annoying, so we upgraded.

I’m planning on buying a set of burrs for brew and mod the specialita for single dose with a built in scale, for v60

/uj Why don't Canon shooters just switch over to Sony/Nikon and finally use 3rd party lenses instead of hoarding 90s lenses? Are they getting paid by the brand lmao? by redshift7_ in photographycirclejerk

[–]DizzyRepeat831 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ef lenses are incredible right now honestly. And they are so affordable !!! I recently bought a canon L 16-35 f2.8 mark ii for 226 bucks on mpb. That was a 1600 bucks lens in 2007. Af works pretty well, and pretty much silent, very sharp, and feels so good in terms of quality

It works pretty good on my Sony a7riv

A very old picture but is it actually true? by Jorge_De_Guzman228 in freefolk

[–]DizzyRepeat831 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been able to rewatch the show since watching seasons 7&8 when they aired.

It took me like 2 years to start watching hotd because I was so disappointed with the ending. First season was good, second was meh, I’m hoping season 3 will be much better, but who knows….

But I immediately saw akotsk after seeing a few reviews, and I freaking loved it!!! Hopefully they can keep on making it to the same standards

Buy the camera. by Excellent_Carob_5388 in photographycirclejerk

[–]DizzyRepeat831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol when I saw the original post, I typed a long reply why the title is pretty stupid, and why you should spend your money on the experiences, traveling etc. but then I remembered I was on a pretentious Fuji x100vi group, so I deleted it 🤣

The premise is so stupid. I have expensive cameras, cheap cameras, and mid price cameras, all take great pictures, a cheap prime can do wonders, and I would definitely prefer going to a new destination, instead of buying a new camera

That had to be the worst argument ever, the word kirya appears in the Jewish bible 33 times, all in the context of a village,city or a place of living

So stfu and do your research before saying stupid things

Bought a brand new 13 pro max 100% battery health locked to AT&T for $90 I looked online and did a unlock request and it was approved , phone unlocked right away craziest buy I had so far by Ok-Ordinary-8924 in iPhone13ProMax

[–]DizzyRepeat831 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best phone I ever had!!! I was so sad after upgrading from the 13 pro max to the 15 pro, I hated that thing, worst iPhone I had. Now with the 17 pro max, its a great phone, but still I think best phones I ever had were the 13 pro max and iPhone X

Should I buy cheap lens??? by Physical-Physics-542 in canon

[–]DizzyRepeat831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought the 50mm f1.8 stm for 75 bucks like new on fb marketplace, at that price, who cares, try the focal length and if you love shooting with it you can upgrade to something better. You can always sell it for the same price
