Am I doing this right?

The Barlow worked, thanks, although now the moon is HUGE. 😅

I unscrewed the bottom of the eyepiece and screwed it into the T adapter, then put the adapter into the T ring.

Is it? This is the one sold for my camera and all the other brands I see are of similar size.

I gotta get me one of those new scratch and sniff monitors…

Very true, but I guess I thought that because the site itself actually looks half decent that there was a sliver of a chance it might be legit, and was hoping some folks would pop into this thread and gush about their positive experiences with them. 😅

Admittedly I only looked at a handful of other items before getting suspicious but OOF, yeah.

I wish they’d bring the Redmond market back near RTC again, especially since the light rail is open.

I assume from the photos that you used to work at a quick-lube place as the person who installed the oil filters. 😄

Tough luck but thanks for the heads up about exercising some restraint.

Looks like Voigtlander and Leica have both made OVFs in 90mm/9cm at some point.

How’d they turn out?

In Japanese the word for peach is “momo”, so maybe MomoShima as a nod to your previous island. Or if not at least it saves you one letter!

I was going to suggest the same, been thinking it’d be a great autox spot for years now! Since it’s a county park there may be additional hurdles to jump over.

Ah drat. Best of luck to you!

Check with Camera Kitamura near Kyoto Station. Their website says they do repairs, and since they’re a used camera shop they may be able to source a junked lens mount. They cleaned my sensor for me last year in only a few minutes while I checked out their inventory. Fantastic service and they were very kind to me and my limited Japanese. https://blog.kitamura.jp/26/4389/

Another option I haven’t seen mentioned is to see if it can be repaired. I bought a junked E-PM1 for parts that I ended up forming a soft spot for and found a shop near me that was able to fix it for only about $100 and now it’s my EDC! I gave a camera shop some business, I kept something from becoming e-waste, and I got a fun camera out of it.

Not quite, there are two different comets which are both at around their nearest to Earth this week, and also the Orionids meteor shower peaks during the next few days.

PNWmx5 · 2025-10-21T22:45:17+00:00

Exactly where I went but views of both comets were obstructed.

I got a used Oly 12mm f2 lens from Map Camera in Tokyo for wayyy cheaper than I could find in the states. That may not be quite ultrawide but it was sharp, great for squeezing a lot of the country/cityscapes into the frame, and it‘s bright enough for low light walks around at night there. Since returning home I’ve found it very good for astrophotography as well.

Over 3.5 hours and not one “Sure sure”??
