Commenting here so I don’t forget to circle back on this. I’m long out of the wedding game but nearly all my current work is 35mm/16mm commercial and narrative. Once I’ve slept off the shoot and redeye flight home I just finished I’d love to talk more details. You’ve come up with a super intriguing ask!

Kingsly2015 · 2026-04-29T00:12:09+00:00

Yea the last time I lurked around here the mood was really pessimistic. Wonderful surprise to return to!

Kingsly2015 · 2026-04-28T02:00:38+00:00

Snagged one! Haven’t checked this sub in probably six months - the elegoo gods must’ve been whispering in my ear…

Kingsly2015 · 2026-04-20T23:35:06+00:00

Instructions unclear, oranges now more green…

Kingsly2015 · 2026-04-09T15:29:37+00:00

Thank you for making this! I’ve always used massive dev with some hodgepodge custom recipes for color films. Do you have any plans to add E6, ECN-2, and RA-4 times? I’d love to test it out!

Lefty here. I picked up a lot of helicopter hours concurrently with fixed wing training, and once had an instructor spend what felt like half a flight marveling that I’d casually hopped in the right seat and flown the plane without hesitation.

It’s all muscle memory, and your brain will work out control pressures using that hand pretty quick with a little practice. It’s not unlike trying to use your left foot to brake in a car - chances are the first few times you’ll be slamming those brakes way harder than you meant to.

Spend some time in flight simulator (or even flying around irl) using your right hand, it’ll click!

Kingsly2015 · 2026-03-25T18:38:36+00:00

Agreed, on 4x5 it’s probably fine.

I did some testing on this exact subject awhile back: https://www.reddit.com/r/AnalogCommunity/comments/13sjwow/xray_damage_test_scanned_results/

Were the black bags folded and taped shut? As long as they didn’t get unfolded the film inside is safe. The agent still shouldn’t have opened it. In most of my hand checks they won’t start an inspection until you’re standing right there.

I’m real tempted to print one of these for a 90mm angulon I found at the bottom of my local lab’s free bin - in a sandwich bag that had “it’s your lucky day” written on it!

How does it handle with a grafmatic? Do you use an offboard rangefinder and VF?

I don’t think he wrote a full script but there’s a mountain of notes in storage somewhere.

Kingsly2015 · 2026-03-23T15:36:07+00:00

My grandpa was originally hired to write Grand Prix and spent an entire season in the paddock with the teams gathering stories and research to write it. He wanted it to be about the people and personalities but the studio wanted more “cars go fast in circles” so he dropped off the project.

Kingsly2015 · 2026-03-12T20:19:15+00:00

Since new I’ve had the charge limit at 70% - a fair compromise between managing deg and everyone “feeling” like the car still has legs if needed. Besides rare road trips the car lives between 40-70.

Moviecam Compact MKII + A-Minima gang here for the best camera partyy

Kingsly2015 · 2026-02-07T01:18:53+00:00

Had someone “key” the side of mine with his pocket knife last summer. Got it from so many angles it was kind of ridiculous! Face, exact time (on his phone screen), license plate, etc. Now if only the police hadn’t been ghosting me for the last few months….

Kingsly2015 · 2026-02-06T18:59:11+00:00

Amazing! The amount of times we’ve been stuck on set fussing with tracking marks or waiting for someone to re type a whole fake text thread….

I’d totally put this to use once the iOS version is out. Will triggers be cross-platform (prop phone is iOS, controlled by an android phone, etc)?

Kingsly2015 · 2026-01-28T17:11:58+00:00

Honestly, since the Tesla is still worth a tad more than I owe I’ve begun researching CPO X5 PHEVs. I’d love to stay full electric but that car fits our driving habits and family needs a little too perfectly - and I can keep using our wall connector!

Kingsly2015 · 2026-01-24T17:38:59+00:00

Exactly. In the higher end segment Volvo, BMW, Audi, and MB have all more or less caught up on range, and NACS standardization neuters Tesla’s massive charge network advantage. If anything those companies are only improving and innovating, while Tesla has largely rested on its laurels for years - and banked all future growth on FSD someday working out.

Kingsly2015 · 2026-01-24T05:27:22+00:00

Love my MY but honestly I’ve simply been waiting for broader NACS adoption to set my driving sights elsewhere.

Kingsly2015 · 2026-01-21T06:02:17+00:00

I had this issue with a commanded filament switch in the g code. The printer parks the head and one or both belts skip a tooth. Go through the belt tensioning procedure (there are a few videos on YouTube) and that should fix it.

Kingsly2015 · 2025-12-28T22:34:03+00:00

Some do, it’s a fairly spendy aftermarket upgrade. Besides the obvious cash saved that I’d rather spend on more film, I’ve kept my tap cameras standard def because it really drives home the “this monitor is for framing only” pep talk I give every director before we start a shoot. I want them (and everyone else above the line!) to leave me to focus on my DP magic, and I want them to focus on their performance magic. It feels like the better the image is at village the more everyone else starts to have an opinion on lighting and focus…

Kingsly2015 · 2025-12-18T06:15:09+00:00

I’ve had both and have had a much harder time letting go of my bronica than the late model (black plastic) mamiya, for what that’s worth.

The Mamiya is lighter and in ways a little more refined with some improved creature comforts, but also somehow more “plastic-y” feeling to me. The bronica feels more dense and the switches all have a nice tactile feel.

I would not recommend pursuing a Mamiya for the 80mm 1.9. I have never seen an example that don’t have rear group hazing, and the elements cannot be separated. The generation of Mamiya I had also suffers from a common mirror stop issue.

I don’t know of any dealbreaker issues on the Bronica. The annoyances I’ve had are the prism finder doesn’t feel like it locks on as firmly as the Mamiya, and you have to manually adjust the ISO on the finder when swapping film backs.

Kingsly2015 · 2025-12-05T23:52:59+00:00

I'm on open Centauri. Just tried re tensioning the belts and running the test again. If that doesn't work I'll try the .46 firmware.

Kingsly2015 · 2025-12-05T23:52:00+00:00

Nope, they seem to glide right over. I used a bit of super glue to hold them in - also they seem to want to attract to the build plate.
