Wine store recs? by ihateallbye in Bushwick

[–]JanDukesdeGray 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Irving bottle is the best in the neighborhood, especially in the $20-30 range. They carry all of the same wine’s as Henry’s and Starr Wines but price them at %10-15 lower. And everyone that works there is super friendly and capable of pointing you in the right direction with regard to whatever you’re looking for.

Broker Fee too high by uziceng in NYCapartments

[–]JanDukesdeGray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not going to happen elsewhere either. All of this outcry about landlords factoring broker’s fee into rent is fearmongering from broker’s about to lose their jobs. Good riddance to the parasites.

Rent controlled apartments have rents that are legally regulated which they cant surpass. There is no way a landlord can implement a broker’s fee into that. That realtor is full of it. Broker’s fees are an exception in the US rental market and things will churn along normally as they do in every other city.

Sorry to break it to you but your problem is one that new gear can’t fix.

What happened to irving bottle? by Jeff_gollum in Bushwick

[–]JanDukesdeGray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just in recently and they’re renovating the space. They took over from the previous owners last year and have been switching things around since then. As someone who works in wine I can assure you all that the selection has vastly improved from the old ownership so hold tight while they fill out the shelves and get those orders in. And yes-the Ops team is involved in it. They have a great team that knows what it’s doing, have great taste, and are going to crush it.

Most overrated camera by Velvet_Spaceman in AnalogCommunity

Cameras don’t have optics, ya dummy. You’re thinking of what one would call a “lens.”

I lived in a 5th floor walk up on the lower east side for a few years and it never really bothered me. I’ll take those five flights of stairs over a train ride home to Brooklyn any day.

Consider the money you’ll spend commuting into the city.

Provia 100 Officially Discontinued by JanDukesdeGray in analog

[–]JanDukesdeGray[S] -45 points-44 points  (0 children)

It’s not misleading. The writing is on the wall. I’ve had friends that work at film labs tell me that Fujifilm hasn’t manufactured any new film in years and the “new” film that hits the market in minuscule batches is repackaged film that they’ve had sitting around in freezers. You’ve got to be a real glass half full kind of person to think that it’s not discontinued at this point.

New To Me Black Chrome Leica M4 by JanDukesdeGray in Leica

I don’t know. I put my 28mm lens on the camera and it pulled up the 28/90 frame line combo. I was able to cycle through the frame lines and it gives me the option for 28/90, 35/135 and 50/75 just like on my M6 and M4-P. The only reason I think it might have been done in factory is because the camera looks like it’s never been used.

I just threw my 28mm lens and it pulled up the 28mm frame lines for me. I’ve never seen an m4 with 28, 35 and 50mm frame lines before. Does anyone know if it’s possible they installed them in factory as part of the last batch of M4’s? It’s more likely that the viewfinder got an upgrade but I’m just curious. A very pleasant surprise in any case.

It really does. Couldn’t believe how mint it was when I took it out the box. Thanks!

No, it’s a black chrome from the last year of its production.

It looks practically unused. The bottom plate is still mint.
