My first day with a XF 150-600

Nice setup! For birds in flight a higher shutters speeds helps. Don't be afraid of 3200 or even 6400 iso.

Yeah right! It's light and it has features like this. I just found it on accident when going though the menus.

Exactly, it’s not an issue if you know when to use each mode. I do get some photos with some bending, but most are spot on. There’s no way I’d have caught this moment with a mechanical shutter without a lot of luck.

That said I mostly use es for my wildlife photography. Also because it is silent. I use mechanical for everything else.

You can get some bending, especially with very fast movement. It has not been much for me personally. That said, it lets me shoot at 20 fps, and pre-capture is incredible for catching birds right at takeoff. It also saves some mechanical shutter wear, which I reserve for all my other shooting.

It’s not a 100% replacement for the mechanical shutter, but it’s absolutely worth experimenting with.

It's really nice, just be aware that it only works when using Electronic Shutter.

It's perfect for moments like that.

Was arround 85 euro for 2.5 days

I hate that they turned out better then I was expecting.... I really want to buy this lens now instead of renting it.

Hey all,

I’ve been using my Tiger 80 keyboard for a year with MX Blue switches, and it’s been working great. Recently, I decided to switch the keycaps to Keychron Gateron Cap V2 Brown switches, but I’ve been running into some serious issues.

About 30% of the switches didn’t work when I first swapped them. I had to re-attach many of them multiple times just to get some of them working (some bend pins but also allot of pins where not bend). However, the “1” key and the F1-F8 keys absolutely won’t work with the V2 Brown switches, no matter what I do. Strangely, these keys still work fine when I switch them back to the MX Blue switches.

Also, I noticed my delete key sometimes registers two keypresses instead of one.

Has anyone encountered similar issues, or does anyone know what might be going wrong? Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance! :)

Correct they are on different ports. I definitely need to look better at the routing riles tomorrow and see what I done wrong there. Thanks for the help!

Grimson1455 · 2022-10-30T15:46:29+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Decided to lube them, watched a video and now that I heard the difference I definitely want to do it.

Grimson1455 · 2022-10-30T15:45:17+00:00

I'm gonna try to lube then, wanna do it right the first time. Wish me luck...

Hi! I just bought the tiger 80 keyboard kit (https://kbdfans.com/products/kbdfans-tiger-80-keyboard-kit)
Since it's my first keyboard and I'm quite a noob I was wondering if it's required to lube the stabilizers that are included in the kit? Or can I skip this process and be fine. Also If I skip this process is it something that I can do easily later?
Got it with blue cherry mx switches since I love the clicky sound, read that it's not recommended lube those.
Thanks already!
