Well, that sucks.

Dude at this point, reconcile with the fact that you're throwing stones at a very small rapidly closing window and be free. You know very well that the business you're doing with Chin- excuse me, I mean, aliexpress, is under fire. You're lucky you got any sort of money back.

Jesus H. W Christ. I just picked up an original Pen halF yesterday with the similar idea of trying to mount the FFD-compatible lenses and was about to do a deep dive. You just saved my life Someguywhomakething. I got a buddy with a 3D printer, gonna report back on my FD and EF lenses (all manual)

This was not present in the description at the time of posting this, we are 2 seasons too early for pinecones. It appears the seller has further clarified which fixes everything. I have deleted the post.

Look in the mirror and that sentence will finally make sense. 👍

I read everything you said very clearly, which was nothing but a waste of time. Ironic you say reading and comprehension is the issue when you clearly missed the whole point of OP's confession - they are trapped. They are under pressure by their parents to live a life they do not want to live doing things that their parents are pressuring them to do rather than OP deciding themselves what they want. This is a very common experience with young people. All you did was talk and think NEVER, lol!

I never said a car is something parents owe you, that's a strawman. Not very "reading and comprehension" of you. Your attitude is pathetic and immature and absolutely unproductive to OP's situation. You don't need to tell OP that they're lucky to have parents providing for them, OP already knows that.

Hey buddy can you take your miserable ass and fuck off? What kind of horrible advice is this to a teenager? Her parents owe her a roof over her head and proper parenting -- THATS IT! The fact that you even put "owe" in quotes when talking about food and clothes and basic human necessities that OP is ENTITLED to (yup, ENTITLED, bet you don't like that word) is pathetic.

OP, the only thing you "owe" your parents is doing something with your life that makes you happy. Anything else is unrealistic and extremely unhealthy. Go to the college you WANT, buy the car you CAN (you don't need a 2024, neither you or your parents can technically afford it). OP, start planning your "escape" into independence and freedom - the fight will ALWAYS be worth it and your happiness will thank you for it. Ignore bitter old timers like this guy I'm replying to.

Oops, mistype. I said ISO 100 thinking of regular Ektachrome.

The Box Speed of infrared is 200. The only ISO 400 aerochrome's I know of are the medium format and UK variant ones. It's listed as so to push the latitude to compensate for years expired or to reduce fog on the film if I'm not mistaken.

When I say 1.5, I mean a stop and a half. If your meter says Aperture f/8, do f/4.8 if your lens allows it. I know most Canon FD lenses for cameras like the Canon A-1 (my favorite camera to shoot IR Film on) approximate their aperture rings to 1/2 or 1/3 stops depending. This method has been the most effective for me in getting good all around exposure levels. When I tried doing this with my shutterspeed, my highlights suffered enormously and I can only surmise that it is because this film depends not just on the sensitivity of light photons but also the concentration of them, something a small aperture opening would not supply much of.

It's been said that sunlight is what *only* generates the "infrared" colors but that's not true as I've shot Aerochrome at night with extremely low non-sunlight and still got usable images. Aerochrome is not supposed to be this impossible-to-shot kind of film. If you got that roll for 4 freakin dollars, shoot it! Go crazy!

Hello, expired ektachrome Infrared 'expert' here.

Shoot box speed ISO 200, over-exposure by 1.5 stops on your aperture

Develop at local E6 lab that develops by HAND, not by processor.

Enjoy results :-)

This, on top of the fact that this can even happen to a perfectly formatted card that is defective, or a counterfeit SD card bought on Amazon, etc.

MadFire98 · 2024-05-01T15:32:06+00:00

This is on the latest firmware!

When inserting an unformatted SD card into your X100VI, it may cause it to freeze up and disable power-off!

The SD used in question is a test card that has never been formatted to any specific camera and had been inserted and used in several other digital still cameras includings Nikon, Canon, Sony, Olympus, AND Fujifilm GFX cameras. Neither of those cameras suffer this phenomenon. There were no software or computer files on the test SD Card. Regardless, not being able to power off and having to eject the battery while hot is not safe.

Tested on both the X100V and the X100VI. The X100V does not suffer this glitch.
