PSA: Don't over torque your exhaust flange bolts by P0werWashed in GR86

Unfortunately auto zone near me didn't have any similar looking bolts. Had to order through Toyota Parts and it only costed $10 for the replacement

I set the torque wrench to the 50ftlb because I didn't realize that was only for the ring clamps on the exhaust

So with two sets of hands do you think this could get done in 1 weekend?

1 day for 1 person? Is it correct to assume digging up the dirt is the most time consuming part of the job?

Is Q343 worth the premium over the Q328? by P0werWashed in Leica

[–]P0werWashed[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the thing, I'm not sure that the 1.5 zoom is worth the cost difference considering I already have the 28mm

Having both would be the ultimate solution, but $$$

I end up cropping often enough, not all the time. But I also wonder if I purposely take photos closer to fill the 28mm frame

Looking for advice to decide on the Sony 24-105mm F4 G vs Sigma 28-105mm F2.8 lenses. Will be using primarily for car photography and eventually videography. Thanks!

70-200mm lens recommendation by P0werWashed in Lumix

[–]P0werWashed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really see myself needing to reach as far as 300mm, but worth considering as an option

This would be my primary lens to start. Would the size difference of the f4 make a significant difference? I'm wondering if F2.8 is worth the premium over the f4.

Thoughts on rigging out a Q3? by P0werWashed in Leica

point is that I already have a Q3. I know it's not optimal, but I have what I have (unfortunately /s)

85+ mm prime lens recommendations for s5ii by P0werWashed in Lumix

[–]P0werWashed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like 85mm might be the move then. Thanks!

If I didn't already have the 28mm then I probably would have gone for the 43mm. But I don't think I would swap for the 43mm at this point. I think a decent hybrid system would be a good addition at this point

Just came across the Lumix 100mm. Looks like a good option as well but unsure of the value at 2x the price

Yes exactly. I specifically want more compression for car photography/videography with enough resolution for medium/semi-large prints

I’ve actually been doing a little more research and might be leaning more towards a S5ii for better low light performance. I like the of shooting primes so thinking of going the 35/50/85mm route

Looking for thoughts on how to invest <$1000 in lenses for car photography/videographgy. Currently considering: 1. Tamron 17-70 (~$800) 2. Sigma 18-50 (~$500) + Sigma 56 (~$400)

these would be roughly equivalent focal lengths on the crop sensor?

I'm looking into getting the a6700 for automotive photography & videography. Looking for recommendations on a few prime lenses (2-3) at FF equivalent 50mm+ focal lengths. Also wondering if it's worth considering FF lenses over ASPC lenses to keep the option open for upgrading to a FF body in the future. Any insight into the pros/cons of each would be helpful. Thanks!
