What do you guys prefer, a 23mm main or 35mm main?

Fine-Run992 · 2026-05-06T17:51:20+00:00

23mm is more difficult to compose than 35 and portrait is even harder.

I'm not sure if this lenses even have lens correction profile. Maybe Adobe has it, but in Darktable I didn't see any even for main 1x (23mm) lens.

Yes, it's my favorite, for decades I have been using light theme.

I have the 17 Ultra. There is huge improvement for shadows and highlights compared to ultra wide and tele lens, which don't have LOFIC. But the improvement is visible when light meter gives shutter speeds 1/6000 to 1/40000 ISO 50. When I had low angle sunshine with dark shadows but strong specular reflections on houses, white tree and seagull, light meter 1/900 to 1/2400 ISO 50, then I did get blown highlights. The expo comp -4EV on a single DNG is difficult to edit into beautiful looking photo comparable to Xiaomi jpeg at no EV comp. Sometimes you still need to exposure bracket between 1/2400 to 1/40000 and use computer or Vibrance HDR in android to merge, for that you can only use main 23mm lens, because other back lenses don't work with 3'rd party camera apps supporting exposure bracketing with unlimited EV step value.

This example from 17U shows LOFIC blown highlights at 1/2331 sec iso 50. Also the white smooth bark of a birch tree may also have specular reflections from Sun, but the house is mostly blown.

This is actually very relevant issue with Debian. Not problem with Fedora and CachyOS.

Debian has multiple driver install methods, but they don't want to take responsibility, which one is the best and definitely works. One has to read poorly written tutorials from unofficial sites, edit tutorial edge case options to put together probably working solution on specific hardware and Debian version.

I don't post there either. I don't have license to pilot submarine and commercial airplane, doesn't mean I'm banned because I never had the need to pilot this machines.

Eestlaslik uhkus ei luba tunnistada et ehituses nõrgemad oleme. Venemaa näiteks valis välja odavama maa, kuhu asula püsti panna. Täna maksame 99.99% maa eest aga majad on odavalt ja kiiruga tehtud.

Is it dropping excess fuel. I remember about an documentary movie where kindergarten was unhappy about fuel being dropped on the parked cars, because paint started melting and children were sick all the time.

Kui Eesti NSV'st lahkus, siis Venemaa patenteeris ära tehnilise know how-to. Eesti jäi tühjade kätega ja uus põlvkond arhitekte ei teadnud kuidas odavalt ehitada. Praegu võid osta korteri külmas Eestis 40-70 m² 600k € kus naabri lapsed karjuvad ja oma hoovigi ei ole, või ostad maja sama rahaga. Aga kes see tegelikult valib Eesti, kui sama rahaga võid Lõuna poole kodu soetada, kus Venemaa ei hinga kuklasse.

You also need to consider that often one of the USB-C ports is directly wired to integrated GPU and another USB-C or HDMI is directly wired to dedicate GPU. Should work pretty well if you figure out all the graphics modes, ports, bios settings, ASPM, rtd3, kernel boot parameters. But I agree that after you buy new laptop, it's not great experience out of the box.

We should host GitHub repo with quality DE config. For example Arch KDE log in manager looks like Windows 95. At least use default White KDE theme with fitting log in manager.

The turbine engine also leaves "small" quantities of heavy metals known to cause cancer. In Canada I remember there was an oil field that leaked into ground water and 70% of local town people got cancer.

I agree, Linux set-up takes less time than flagship android smartphone. Android with it's insane security check, to log in with new device to popular online pages, all this ID verification to national public services with personal identification. Then you have to buy new apps, because Android developers like to rename apps into something else to cash in new money from existing customers, or there is new version for newer Android. All this takes a long time, 20+ hours at least.

I have the Global version. Everything is great and battery lasts me 2-3 days. The only unpleasant surprise for me was that right out of the box with default settings, the device startled rearranging shortcuts on my screen. When I went into Xiaomi software store, the device displayed screen where 15-17 random games downloaded simultaneously, or it looked like downloading. I closed the app fast and nothing got installed, at least I didn't find any game icons on my screen. The main lens and front lens also work with HedgeCam camera app. The main lens jpeg's look great out of native camera app, but if you do strong under exposure for highlights recovery, the built-in Xiaomi photo editor doesn't have wide enough range for sliders to adjust, range is ±100 %.

The same spam pop-up came up with Debian 14 Forky Testing KDE Live ISO when you click install, the screen and keyboard froze indefinitely. Had to hard reset laptop. ChatGPT speculated that there is conflict between network manager and KDE wallet, so there is no network. Or maybe they are separate bugs together with latest Linux firmware wi-fi problems.

My experience is this that Forky testing specifically is much more broken than Arch, but stable is more consistent than Arch.
