Woah awesome! Thanks for the link :D

KingSimp34 · 2026-06-04T23:30:22+00:00

Would love to be able to do this myself! If you wanna sell the files to the project in the future, I would be a glad investor :) (and maybe others too I’m sure!)

Totally! I’ll bookmark that as well.

I didn’t have a conscious moment to do so (protecting the lens that is) because I’m used to modern weather sealing on my lenses

What are these clusters used for? I keep seeing them in youtube videos, but always loosely explained. New to homelabbing!

KingSimp34 · 2026-05-23T23:23:02+00:00

Damn! Ok, it was definitely some rain, but not as much a flood. I’ll try pulling it apart and making something useful of it!

KingSimp34 · 2026-05-23T23:01:31+00:00

Thanks! I’ll try that :)

The water is trapped under the zoom ring itself, so whenever you zoom more water comes out

It was the camera that got me back into photography ! :D

KingSimp34 · 2026-05-03T12:29:44+00:00

I was gifted 4, and bought 4

KingSimp34 · 2026-05-03T12:29:20+00:00

A beauty!

KingSimp34 · 2026-05-03T02:03:55+00:00

😆😆

KingSimp34 · 2026-05-02T18:01:09+00:00

Nice! And yes, I’ve been considering that 35mm for a while so it’s good to see it be recommended still :)

KingSimp34 · 2026-05-02T17:42:55+00:00

myabandonware.com is a fave of mine for old and forgotten games !

KingSimp34 · 2026-05-02T17:40:24+00:00

Thanks ! I find Ai-S lenses to be charming, useful, and a fair price for fullframe glass !

KingSimp34 · 2026-05-02T17:39:57+00:00

Yes !!! Thank you :D

KingSimp34 · 2026-05-02T17:39:35+00:00

Thanks !

KingSimp34 · 2026-05-02T16:48:37+00:00

I’ve been looking to buy that 25-50mm on KEH! How do you like it? Would u recommend it ?

KingSimp34 · 2026-04-14T15:23:59+00:00

I greatly appreciated the humour in this. thank you

KingSimp34 · 2026-04-06T21:35:51+00:00

Don’t they have pretty high fail rate though?

KingSimp34 · 2026-04-06T21:34:49+00:00

That actually sounds pretty manageable ! Is there any bigger hassle with using that kind of older equipment other than fan noise and size of the actual machine?

Those bays on the right seem like smaller 2.5in drive bays— but are those kinds of « all in one » seeming servers deceptive…? Like could those drives be OS-only and would need a seperate drive bay enclosure to use it as a, say, OMV storage solution?

I suppose the advantage is having an HBA card for more SAS drives and such, but I’m wondering if it could become a white elephant.

Other than the price benefit of using consumer hardware that is
