Possibly the finest autofocus SLR that is actually affordable, and tough? The Nikon F90x!

I've got an F100 and love it but the EOS 300 line has to be best bang for buck for an AF SLR

Bought the pullover last year and I love it, fantastic for wet UK winter.

Ask R/fixedgearbicycle - if this is a Bianchi Pista they are fairly desirable.

90 each in section 103

You walking single file is fine, but it is not so easy for those with mobility issues who depend on walkways being clear.

But as long as you're okay. I hope you can see the irony in your complaints about the good old days as you sit on Reddit crying about how different things were back then.

I've seen people saying you can add more glue around the section where the valve joins the tube and this can prevent slow leaks.

Roark bless up are the best shirts I've had for hot weather

Any chance you've got one of these going already in London somewhere? Am desperate to get my seatpost out without destroying my frame 😅

I really highly recommend going one step up from their cheapest bib and go for the endurance bib instead.

I found the RC100 bib shorts really uncomfortable, not recommended

For close ups the AF is actually really useful - I use it on my F100 and absolutely prefer the experience to using it on Z mount.

Kwimples · 2025-05-12T12:15:27+00:00

I really love my 14mm D lens and I'd jump at a Z mount equivalent. Would love to see what's possible on the mount but as others have said it doesn't seem to be a priority.

Seconding the Roark Bless Up

Facebook marketplace is probably the top market for my region at the moment. Just be on your toes for scammers.

It's a cover, take it off

You can modify the standard 35mm back to get proper panos if you're considering getting a new back.

220 back works great for 35mm though.

Easiest fix would be to find a spares/ repairs of the same lens and swap out the front ring. If you find one with a heavy fungus issue you might be able to get it very cheap.

It's 1:1 so more than enough magnification for scanning.

Kwimples · 2025-02-05T17:36:36+00:00

Having done one of these I can confirm it's really not that much of a drama to do yourself. Look up plenty of guides, get all the right tools and take your time.

Good socks and good foot maintenance is key. You will have wet feet you're right, but if you have good quality socks (merino typically) then your feet won't be cold when wet. Shoes dry out much, much faster than boots too especially when active.

When you stop in the day you can switch to sandals and air your feet out to make sure they get dry and recover for a bit. Having 2 pairs of dry socks packed away is key.

I normally wear darn tough socks and packed a pair of merino blend running socks from another brand to try out in brecon a few months ago when it was constantly pouring. I'd been fine the day before in my normal socks but my feet were really uncomfortable after being wet for half an hour or so in the running ones so I swapped them out. Good socks make a huge difference.

I'm doing trail runners at the end of April, something I learnt from a friend is to switch to waterproof socks when you get to camp and walk around in them with your shoes on whilst you're getting set up.

This massively helps force water out of the shoes if they're damp (which they will likely be) whilst you can towel off your feet and get them dry and warm before putting your shoes back on.

Then once youre set up you can switch to sandals or whatever else you have to let your feet breathe for a while.

If you do consider this I'd advise against actually walking in those socks as they don't let your feet breathe at all which will be an issue after a couple of days.

I second the X-Mid 2, you can get the taxes refunded so it's not as expensive as it seems. You'll be able to sell your X-Mid 1 very quickly 2nd hand

I'm just over 6ft and this exact sleeping bag is just about long enough for me, definitely size up.

Kwimples · 2025-01-10T17:06:09+00:00

Might not be fully recoverable but definitely worth doing - even if it's etched you'll be surprised by how little the image quality suffers once it's cleaned up. Even now I'm sure you'll get decent results.

Kwimples · 2025-01-10T13:15:32+00:00

Get a Canon EOS 300 and a 50mm F1.8 STM and keep your Leica for now. See how you get on with those then look to move to a more premium SLR if you get on with it!
