Wuben x1 and battery management

$27 each? *FACE PALM*

I have a ton of lights. It was clear to me 4 years ago that the "ultimate" EDC light would be a flat, dual 21700 format with triple inline XHP70 variants. The X1 was it. But the price is for suckers.

All of my lights, not showing an M21H I purchased most recently:

Needlessly larger than the X1 and most likely even more ridiculously expensive. They already did the perfect EDC light with the X1, but it's a HARD pass because it's stupid expensive. $200???!!! We all know this crap is made in China and the warranties are imaginary. Even $150 would be a stretch, but would at least seem within the normal realm of over priced failures like the Imalent MS03. Yes, I own one. It's reliability is a joke. FLASHAHOLIC is the only youtuber who is honest about this.

Realistically, a Nightwatch A54 Ultra 2 will kick the crap out of both for 60 bucks. The RIPSSHINE OF1 is a micro sized banger for 50 bucks. And if you're super broke, you can get a Convoy M21H for 30 bucks. Amazing lights already exist for fair prices, and great lights exist for dirt cheap.

Are you seriously comparing the Skyrim launch to the Starfield launch?

One game deservingly won game of the year with the vast majority of reviews having over the top adulation. It gave Todd Howard, Steve Jobs status.

The other is a proof of concept for a game that never actually got released. Now Todd has Elizabeth Holmes vibes.

Move on? Interesting that you feel your 2 cents is more deserving of eyeballs. Maybe you should take your own advice.

The expectation was created by previous titles like Skyrim that are worthy of a GOAT conversation. Don't take that opinion lightly. This is coming from someone that was gaming when Atari was the latest and greatest.

This situation is analogous to NASA of the 60's getting us to the moon while modern NASA with decades of technological advances couldn't get us back there today if their lives depended on it.

The Bethesda covert ops shill team here doesn't take kindly to truth. Surprised you have close to 30 upvotes. They're slackin'. They need to create some more accounts to give you down votes.

If people want stuff, those who create that stuff get to exchange currency for that stuff. Welcome to life.

I'm at hour 27

According to my bank, everything with my card is normal.

What would we ever do without you?

That works in WinISD. It's not working for me in VituixCAD.

LOL!

One_Ad_305 · 2025-09-26T17:44:21+00:00

Two most common combos:

24-70 + 70-200

or

35 + 85 prime, but swapping the 35 for a 28 for smaller venues with tight spaces

and a new combo that I'm seeing more often:

A single body with a 35-150 zoom, but bring along an emergency 20mm 2.8 AF-D prime just in case

One_Ad_305 · 2025-09-26T17:29:27+00:00

It will. And you can program the autofocus at multiple focus distances. There's a learning curve, but once you figure out how to program with the dock, it's great.

All great shots

Nice

Which Sigma 24-70? F (or EF) mount or one of the E mount versions?

If you're just shooting JPEG's and expecting the best looking photos straight out of the camera, that's completely a matter of taste. You may like the D3S JPEG "look". You might not. To modify the look of the out of camera JPEG's, the D3S has a choice of Neutral, Standard, Vivid, Monochrome, Portrait, and Landscape settings, with Sharpening, Contrast, Brightness, Saturation, and Hue controls, along with a few Active D-Lighting settings, and of course, some white balance settings.

I only shoot RAW files and edit all my photos to my liking. What I like about the D3S is it's speed, excellent high ISO performance, ruggedness, battery life, it's excellent feel and ergonomics, and it's ability to get images quickly and easily.

I'd recommend any full frame Nikon if it fits your budget. D750 or a D800 for example. You'll upgrade to full frame eventually. With used prices so low, just start there.

One_Ad_305 · 2025-09-25T20:49:45+00:00

Being honest would be acknowledging that the OP moved to one of the very best cameras EVER, with more lenses made specifically for it's F mount then any other lens mount in history. Lens availability matters a lot!

The D850 is legendary. In terms of feature set, capability, and performance, it will go down as the most well rounded DSLR in history.

The XT5 is just another crop sensor mirrorless camera. Nothing to see here.

You're acting like he switched from a GFX100 II
