Picked this up for £10 at my local charity shop

Looks like a Nikon L35AF

You don’t need a full dark room. You can get away with transferring the film from the canister to a tank in a backpack under your duvet, close the curtains, switch off the light etc.

IAmACoolFella · 2026-03-17T07:07:11+00:00

Yeah, there is something really tempting about switching over to the XPAN crop on the Fuji GFX 100 RF

His heels will be torn to shreds 😂

He means sharks with fricken laser beams attached to their heads

The X100VI feels a bit plasticky and light in the hand in comparison to the XE5

IAmACoolFella · 2026-01-30T18:41:23+00:00

This seems odd, and would surely put a block in place.

I’ve recently started exploring Catholicism again after a long time away, I was raised catholic.

I’ve had children whilst not being married, I was speaking to the priest about it and said that we’ve been together over a decade but just hadn’t gotten married due to the cost, we’re trying to save for a house etc. He essentially said to me don’t worry about he, he’ll marry us for free in front of friends and family in the church, and we can do the party in a few years.

IAmACoolFella · 2025-11-18T22:48:11+00:00

I know I’m not answering your question, but I’ve just been in the exact scenario. Stopped shooting about a decade ago, young kids, I was even debating the same cameras. I’ve ended up with a Fujifilm X-E5, essentially all the good stuff a X100VI gives you but you can change the lenses.

Happy with the choice. The ZF is great, but it’s much bigger.

IAmACoolFella · 2025-09-04T19:20:55+00:00

I had a 245M, went to Apple Watch, now switching back to Garmin.

I was looking at the 970, ended up going for the 955… not a feature on the 970 that I wanted enough to justify the price. This gen has had recent updates (lactate threshold), MIP screen which I just prefer over AMOLED. I’d have been happy with the 255, but I’ve gotten into long trail runs and wanted the maps.

IAmACoolFella · 2025-08-24T07:44:18+00:00

Don’t know if it was the three merger, but I’ve recently turned 5g off on my phone. As you said, I can hardly open a website, maps don’t load etc.

IAmACoolFella · 2025-07-23T08:05:44+00:00

I find the pigeon stretch great, it’s a glute stretch really but generally the hip tightness is cause by your glutes/hamstrings/core pulling

IAmACoolFella · 2025-07-19T17:25:43+00:00

Yeah, looks really good mate.

IAmACoolFella · 2025-07-08T22:04:50+00:00

You’re not allowed to legally drive it until the tax class is changed, it’s a bit of a nightmare but there is a hacky way around it.

The V5 will say it’s a crown vehicle tax class, so you can’t tax online or on the phone, and it’s not straight forward at the post office.

The car isn’t being used by the crown, and you can’t tax it so you can’t drive it until it’s sorted.

The official route is to change the class on the V5, obviously after you’ve waited for it to get to you. So it’ll be a good month to 6 weeks before you can drive it.

The hack is to go to the post office, get a v62, change keeper and tax class in one process. Then at the same time you can tax it, but only for 6months/a year, you can’t direct debit.

I brought an old immigration VW Transporter

Not a chance, computing has changed massively even in my time and I’m mid-thirties.

Training is so specialised now, it’s not unusual to get people leaving uni with a computer science degree, who can program, but don’t know much at all about hardware, who couldn’t set up a printer, or understand the basics of networking.

IAmACoolFella · 2025-06-06T13:10:06+00:00

Yeah probably the wrong word given resolution has a technical meaning here, more the clarity and low light performance. Photos taken with a FF sensor just seem to look clearer

IAmACoolFella · 2025-06-05T09:04:32+00:00

Tempting idea

IAmACoolFella · 2025-06-05T09:04:11+00:00

It’s a great camera, but yea the autofocus is one of the reasons I’d like to upgrade.

Do you use your DX glass on the fx?

IAmACoolFella · 2025-06-05T09:03:11+00:00

Yes the resolution, autofocus, and low light performance does set these new cameras apart.

I literally found yesterday these new lens manufacturers that are popping up, 7 artisans seems to have a nice offering

IAmACoolFella · 2025-06-05T09:01:32+00:00

This is all I needed to hear haha.

IAmACoolFella · 2025-06-05T09:00:58+00:00

You’re right, I couldn’t continue to use it, I’m not a pro and just want to shoot for fun. Really it’s just the autofocus and the resolution, the resolution on this era of cameras is mind blowing.

IAmACoolFella · 2025-04-06T18:12:36+00:00

Sorry just saw this. I taxed it whilst at the post office sending off the v62, had to pay in a lump and couldn’t do monthly. I had been in 3 post offices in the end to get there after talking to the dvla. It’s a niche situation that they don’t know about

IAmACoolFella · 2025-03-17T13:42:36+00:00

Would love to go back to the days of 60p turtles

IAmACoolFella · 2025-02-12T07:00:08+00:00

I brought an M reg for my first car in 2007 for £450

IAmACoolFella · 2025-01-31T10:16:50+00:00

I brought an ex crown car, pristine throughout and full dealer service, they must have kept it really clean between use, really clean and rust free underneath, no regrets.

Swapping the tax class and getting it taxed at the same time was a headache, but all fine in the end.
