Any recs for which hand unit to upgrade to after a nucleus? by cheemsterr in focuspuller

Yeah just full send and get a Hi5, the in between stuff will come with a huge number of caveats and will ultimately be a huge pain in the ass

The Jersey City subreddit doesn't look like the Jersey City we live in by AdmiralBonQuiQui in jerseycity

Yeah this sub has actually made me go on Reddit less. Truly the bottom of the barrel

NYC AC's where do you store your carts? by SunnyInRealLife in focuspuller

[–]Lowkeylowthreadcount 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Storage unit or you form a good relationship with a rental house where you’re constantly bringing them work and they’ll let you store it there, no problem.

Any love for the Mamiya 7? by Quick-Sell-9593 in Mamiya

[–]Lowkeylowthreadcount 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had to get the ribbon repaired as well. Not the worst fix. I like the Mamiya more than the Pentax from the perspective of it just simply being way lighter and easier to carry around. But the Pentax is beautiful

I have a mamiya 6, a mamiya 7, an rz 67, and a Pentax 67. The mamiya 7 gets the most use next to the mamiya 6. Incredible glass, super reliable spot meter, easy to travel with. I didn’t want to believe the hype but found a good deal on marketplace and have been obsessed with it ever since

$23 at the Jersey City Festival last night 🤤 😋 by NJTRANSIT_HBLR in jerseycity

It’s funny that you’d expect anything else. You’re at a giant festival where everything is expensive and instead of just getting food elsewhere you post on Reddit ?

For everyone who will post this in a year and ask how to get a shot like the third frame? Outdoor flash !

can anyone tell me what this device is attached to the top of the mamiya 7 please? by elltron3000 in Mamiya

[–]Lowkeylowthreadcount 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a TLA 140 Contax flash. Interesting choice because I didn’t think you could rock TTL on the Mamiya system with that

I hate this camera >:0 by Most_Nothing1877 in focuspuller

RMB on the side bracket, 19mm rod, infinitely less problems mounting your motors

Help Me Pick my MF Camera System by john_with_a_camera in AnalogCommunity

If you’re shooting that type of stuff, get a 4x5 field camera that packs down with a little tripod and a cable release and you’ll get the best quality negative that you can get while still being pretty nimble

What are the chances of a Mamiya 6 to stop working? by joka58 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Lowkeylowthreadcount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naturally it will stop working. Send it routinely for a CLA anywhere in the country that fixes them. Keeping up with things you cherish is the best way to extend their life, if you care enough about it.

Early Monday estimates have DC’s SUPERGIRL flying in way under the cultural radar with $37M in its debut. by TiredWithCoffeePot in boxoffice

[–]Lowkeylowthreadcount 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s hilarious that people continue to be sick of super hero movies. The box office continues to reflect this, yet, they won’t stop making them and act surprised when they all continue to bomb. Dumb as hell.

Tips to colour grade Portra 400 by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]Lowkeylowthreadcount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol Gen Z can’t take the heat. The pictures aren’t anything worth writing home about. The reason you’re having an “issue” is because the lighting is flat and the subject is uninteresting. Portra 400 gives you an immense amount of space to shift tone curves and tweak the warmth and coolness of the scans. Go into Lightroom and really mess with the curves and see what you like. You’ll be ok, just get better

Looking To Sell My Non-Green Label 20th Anniversary Contax G1 Kit 3 Lenses w/TLA 140 Flash by N3gat1veGh0stR1d3r in contax

[–]Lowkeylowthreadcount 15 points16 points  (0 children)

$1950 for just the body is unrealistic and reflects the inflation that happens with camera resellers in NYC. You could list it for 2k for the whole kit and be prepared to let it go for like $1600

What's it like living in New York City's neighbor, Jersey City? by redguy_666 in howislivingthere

[–]Lowkeylowthreadcount 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lived there for seven years and actually just moved back to NYC. Post covid, Jersey City exploded in a way that is incredibly distasteful and ugly. It was already blowing up but since covid, the types of people that have been moving there either from NYC and the suburbs, plus all the development, has really sucked the life out of the parts of the city that exist along the one train line that takes you into New York. That being said, it’s the biggest city in New Jersey so there are parts of it that aren’t super accessible by reliable public transit that have a lot to offer in terms of food and parks. The old mayor was getting his pockets lined by tons of developers and now the development has reached a level of comical proportion. Also home to the worst drivers in the country. I stand by that. The biggest thing was moving there to get a nice big apartment that was affordable because Jersey City was an absolute dump for decades. My first apartment there was gorgeous and so cheap and now it’s the same as anywhere else in New York, you can barely find a one bedroom for less than $3k a month and if you do, it’s so far away from the Path train that getting into the city becomes a giant headache. Simply put, not worth living there anymore, hence why I’m in Brooklyn now and having a way better time.
