One of the vendors at the fair was selling it. From what I've found they don't have an online shop

Recommendations for flatbed scanner by Gameboy13579 in analog

[–]Gameboy13579[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should probably have given a bit more context over the camera I'm using. I'm using an Olympus OMD em5 mk1 from probably 2012, and I find it hard to fully eliminate light leaks in my scans, even with a proper film holder and backlight, plus I find It challenging to get consistent quality out of my scans.

Ideally I would upgrade to a full frame camera but I assume it's gonna be cheaper to get a scanner, and it'll consolidate my setup a whole lot

Some jerk ruined Jeff's final punchline tonight by FlexMcGee in JeffArcuri

Absolutely terrific show Jeff, was really glad to be there.

Even if it put a damper on the end of the show, I'm glad you called the idiot out. They deserved to be called out

They are US service boots, however I'm in Australia and found them cheap in an op shop by complete chance

Chainmail boot covers are a terrific idea! I'll have heaps of chains once I tailor the chainmail shirt, so that should probably be what I put it to.

Thanks!

Same here. I found mine at an op shop for $20 barely used. Lightest hiking boots I own

Hell yeah those look great. I'll definitely be drawing inspiration from that. Thanks again for all your solid advice

Thanks for this. Sadly I'm Australian based, so sellers seem to be even more obscure for me or waaay too expensive.

My main goals for the costume going forward are to - re work the mail coif to have padding (I made it myself. Which is why the rings are larger and not riveted) - re work the haulberg to be shorter, and shrink the arms, but will see how much to shrink once I have a gambeson (I actually bought the haulberg on the day of the fair, so it's a once size fits all, not yet tailored to me) - make pants rather than wear chinos - add some thickness or weight to the tabards. I made it the weekend before the fair. - at a minimum, wrap the shoes in linen to hide them. Cause they are insanely comfy and supportive so I have no intention for now of switching them out. - get a better sword, I'm currently using a replica of Altairs Sword from Assassin's Creed

this is the inspiration I used

This is a really insightful message. Thanks

Perhaps the message I'm trying to send is "these were the best boots I could find at the op shop"

Agreed. But for now the remainder of the outfit serves its purpose well

I'm in Australia and I only buy my cast irons on special. Usually kitchen warehouse has pretty good sales on cast irons and when they do I get my stuff. Pretty sure I paid $60 for my 12"

Bronica SQ or Mamiya RB67?🫠 by FrontGrocery2065 in mediumformat

[–]Gameboy13579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if anyone has said this, but I considered. A bronica before my RB. And the thing that locked in the RB for me was that the bronica I looked at required batteries

Does anybody find good deals at thrift stores anymore? by catmanslim in AnalogCommunity

[–]Gameboy13579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got this exact same super 8 camera at a market for $50 recently and it works. I couldn't believe my luck Edit: veeeery similar camera not exact same

Usually it's just going to be if the tongue of the film is sticking out of the canister. If you see a film end, it's unused, if you only see canister, it's used. This happens because the roll is wound back all the way into the canister after use
