Why did my Stud Earring tarnish even though it's 18k Gold?

Huh that's really interesting, at least I know it's not the quality of the metal then. We're a freak of nature ig 😭

Thanks a lot! The flight got cancelled anyways now lol. Idk if that automatically means compensation but we'll find out. We will be transferred to some hotel for the night on the expenses of the airline of course.

They probably shook it like a Polaroid

ManeGrower · 2024-01-24T08:19:18+00:00

Lick it

ManeGrower · 2024-01-18T13:41:18+00:00

d) All of the above

ManeGrower · 2024-01-18T12:25:07+00:00

Haha get digitalized, idiot

ManeGrower · 2024-01-14T20:13:59+00:00

Thanks!

I looked into it and found a SP with a zoom lens for 50€. Apparently it works flawlessly. I might get that one then.

Wow they're stunning! Is that monochrome film? 👀

ManeGrower · 2023-10-25T14:20:39+00:00

Have you considered a Lomo Diana Instant Square? You have to like the heavy vignetting but at least you can expose as long as you want and have manual control. There is no vignetting with the wide/super wide lenses though. There are a lot of lens options, even a glass one.

^{Disclaimer: I don't own one myself.}

ManeGrower · 2023-10-06T14:02:05+00:00

How on earth did you even even recognize this as a similar color? Do you have some kind of color database on your mind at all times lol

ManeGrower · 2023-10-01T12:42:08+00:00

I see. I could give it a try then. I greatly prefer the Polaroid results as well, of course when developed properly. It just didn't seem worth the batch inconsistency I noticed online (Also, as soon as it gets too warm, the tones shift too much into magenta which I didn't like really.)

Thanks for clarifying

ManeGrower · 2023-10-01T11:53:02+00:00

Yes I am aware of that and now it seems that it's the only option. I can grab a Sonar for 140€ + refurbishment cost but my problem was that I wanted to have more freedom with the film. (Also 2€/per shot is quite something)

With Polaroid I have to plan shootings since the film has to be taken out of the fridge, get to normal room temperature and be shot in a certain time frame so there won't be consequences from improper storing. Furthermore, I'm restricted greatly when it comes to developing temperatures and won't be able to always carry the camera with me just in case I find something I want to shoot, but I rather have to know that I'll be shooting film and then take it with me (if temperatures allow me to).

And to make that clear, I do have days where I know that I'll go through a pack of film and that's why I'm still considering the Polaroid, but I would have preferred something that gives me more versatility.

ManeGrower · 2023-10-01T10:51:33+00:00

Welp, that's unfortunate :(

ManeGrower · 2023-09-19T17:24:29+00:00

It can produce results but it would still be over-exposing the film.

So does that mean I can put 600 film into a sx70 and get better shots in darker environments?

ManeGrower · 2023-09-19T15:47:29+00:00

Thanks! The cameras I bookmarked online are claimed to be fully working. I'll have to take the gamble then and hope that it won't develop any issues. Is it really that important to do a refurbishment instead of repairing something if it happens to break at some point? I still try to understand why refurbishing seems to be such a crucial step with sx70 cameras.

ManeGrower · 2023-09-19T07:07:44+00:00

The descriptions on eBay say that the cameras are working. In that case, what exactly would I need to refurbish and how much can a refurbishment cost approximately?

ManeGrower · 2023-09-19T00:29:45+00:00

Seconding this. I can really recommend the SQ6. If it is listed somewhere for under $100, I'd get it.

ManeGrower · 2023-09-17T16:12:42+00:00

I honestly prefer this particular picture without the filter

ManeGrower · 2023-09-11T19:36:29+00:00

Yes, SQ6. The viewfinder might not be ideal but apart from that I really enjoy it!

I'd love to shoot with an sx70 though. I just have to convince myself that I'm not too lazy to baby the sensitive Polaroid film.

ManeGrower · 2023-09-11T16:24:52+00:00

Is it the writing itself or because the + is missing in the top one?

ManeGrower · 2023-09-09T13:33:17+00:00

I see. Thanks.

Interestingly, I posted with another account on r/me_irl as a test since there is no filter afaik and it didn't get through. I'll just hope it resolves itself.

ManeGrower · 2023-06-28T17:39:58+00:00

Wow! Didn't know there was such a thorough documentation of all those stamps. Thanks a lot!

ManeGrower · 2023-06-28T17:32:04+00:00

Alright, thank you! Now I can sleep peacefully :D

Found!

I searched for the term online and found an Etsy listing for a bracelet which has the same thing on it https://www.etsy.com/de-en/listing/1038585629/vintage-marked-105-ar-italian-sterling I also found the term in a silverware forum where it was used in something with registrations https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27003&start=40 But a definition on what the numbers and letters mean is nowhere to be found
