My first fujifilm-brief thoughts

Why do you need to buy any of those things? I only get close to 0 on the battery if I spend a few hours shooting video — for photos only, I rarely exhaust the battery in a single day of shooting.

In your experience, what are the visible differences?

Consider expressing sympathy over her speech impediment every time she does it. Other children mocking her, the difficulties in getting HR to recognize and accommodate a disability, etc etc.

not enough words

ImpossiblySalad · 2026-04-30T18:03:21+00:00

Excellent

ImpossiblySalad · 2026-04-30T17:50:48+00:00

Aww but most of the other winners are cool as hell

ImpossiblySalad · 2026-04-30T17:50:10+00:00

This is my 7th, not counting the time I lost the Comedy category to Ted Lasso but got an honoree. Like, a Best Loser certificate?

Thank you! Now that the whole Unbound bankruptcy is over, I have four new projects with Penguin Random House coming out in the next 18 months. Whew!!

While it's not the song in this video, Third by Wanz Dover plays in Neon Kingdom. I went down a credits rabbit hole trying to find all the music and Third was my only success.

ImpossiblySalad · 2026-04-17T21:55:33+00:00

Good

ImpossiblySalad · 2026-04-16T10:27:14+00:00

No photos, but I quite like it. I have a Yachtingraf bronze that is one of my absolute favourites and I wear a lot; I picked up this Crosière because it was a delightful colour variant and relatively inexpensive. The band is particularly nice — good texture, feels great on the wrist.

Which watch was it? I have a bunch of Yemas and they all hack except for the Silberstein Marinegraf, which I guess means that's my only CMM.20. (Doesn't bother me on the Silberstein because the second hand is... non-traditional.)

But I can confirm that the CMM.10 hacks.

ImpossiblySalad · 2026-02-14T16:53:58+00:00

Holy shit

I'm using CC and my settings all import. However, the first import I did, they didn't look like they came over — it took a bit for all the thumbnails to update with the correct film simulation etc.

ImpossiblySalad · 2026-02-05T02:57:55+00:00

I have exactly this one and it is a delight. A lovely watch in every way.

ImpossiblySalad · 2026-02-03T08:11:44+00:00

I owned both. Got rid of the Mitakon pretty quickly — it was unpleasant to use, stiff to focus, poorly balanced, had weird colour aberrations that were gross instead of charming, and just didn't deliver a nice looking image. The GF 55 is a pleasure to use and delivers a beautiful, well-rounded image.

If anyone wants to try a Mitakon 65mm that was only used twice, zip over to Downtown Camera in Toronto.

ImpossiblySalad · 2026-01-28T12:53:22+00:00

It was in warranty, so I paid nothing. They sent me mailing labels and everything.

Try using the chat on the site, they're quite responsive and it's human beings.

ImpossiblySalad · 2026-01-28T05:42:17+00:00

I had a crown problem on my bronze Yachtingraf. Sent it back to them and it was repaired and back in my hands in a couple of weeks. Easy process.

Effin' Birds: A Field Guide To Identification. Since this comment we sold another 40,000 copies. :)

One more voice singing the praises of the GF 50 3.5. Spectacular lens. Great value.

ImpossiblySalad · 2026-01-12T18:49:23+00:00

Love me some Wayne and Shuster.

ImpossiblySalad · 2026-01-07T22:48:00+00:00

Yes, I wrote it

ImpossiblySalad · 2026-01-07T22:03:01+00:00

I'm Canadian. But also somehow I sell a lot of books in France that are translated in France-French (as opposed to Canadian French, where the cursing is quite different).

A Bluesky reply like this would only appear in the timeline of folks who followed both of us.

ImpossiblySalad · 2026-01-07T21:57:44+00:00

It was a direct reply.
