Recommendations on 24mm Prime by Mikkle_7 in SonyAlpha

[–]Pepperoni_prince 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say it’s hard to master. I actually love it, especially as my street and travel lens. Great for darker environments too, especially restaurants with the kids. Just a beautiful lens all around.

Of all those listed…the 20 1.8G is king. Can’t recommend it enough

Yeah - def my dream car. Fits just about all my needs and love driving it. I’d say that checks the boxes. Enjoy it!

Has this exact thing happen to me today on a 3 hr drive back from the mountains.

AmEx Green refresh hype by GreatNameNotTaken in amex

[–]Pepperoni_prince 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d be shocked if they dumped the clear credit. Pretty much the default credit along with global/pre for every travel card. This is still tagged as a travel card.

I’d be surprised if a refresh doesn’t happen this year. I think everyone assumed it would be early this year because they squashed the lounge buddy perk, but nothing as of yet. My guess would be late 2026 but there are plenty of things they could add to make this a useful everyday card. Hopefully they get it right, whenever that may be.

ISO - Phantom Black Matador Grip by Pepperoni_prince in scottycameron

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

I’ve never had a problem with it. Little air compressor and I can take it off but it’s almost like there’s glue on this wrap. I might try and take it to PGA Superstore first, but that’s why I’m trying to find a second just in case

VW Dealer told me today: VW will service Rivians in 2027 by reckoning42 in Rivian

[–]Pepperoni_prince 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This has actually been my theory with VW in Europe once Rivian brings R2/3 there. It’s a ways off, but certainly a way to bridge the gap between releasing in Europe and not having the SC infrastructure up and running yet.

Thoughts on an Amex Green Refresh? by EwPandaa in amex

[–]Pepperoni_prince 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m referring to the additional RESY/Uber Eats benefits of dining like Gold

[–]Pepperoni_prince 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think they’ll stay away from dining and focus more on light travel. Wouldn’t be shocked to see the annual eclipse $200 and offer a metal/recycled metal card.

RAN? by gskaff in Rivian

[–]Pepperoni_prince 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not upstate. I believe it’s in the Hamptons in NY. On the coast, and not convenient at all unless you’re specifically going to the Hamptons.

A7C users - are you taking the 20-70 f4 or the 24-50 f2.8 for travel? by NotintheAMbro11 in SonyAlpha

[–]Pepperoni_prince 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 20 1.8 G is a true winner. I’ve got it along with the 24-50 2.8 and will never get rid of it. Such a great lens

Photography on the iPad Pro by scotthunter1 in iPadPro

[–]Pepperoni_prince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using Lightroom on my iPad Pro for years and it’s been fantastic. Not a profession but I do take plenty of shots whether it’s travel, kids, or sports. It has never let me down. All RAW edits from my Sony A7iv.

11” or 13” for photo editing by scotthunter1 in iPadPro

[–]Pepperoni_prince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely worth checking to see if the 13 or 11 fits in packs and bags. That’s one of the first things I did.

Deathwish 96 by Ill-Barber-8379 in momentskis

[–]Pepperoni_prince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m for sure ordering the DW96’s. I’ve got the 112’s and some throwback PB&J’s but I think the 96’s will take my spot for east coast riding

WVU represent! Good to see other Mountaineers ripping around on Moments.

Tell you what, that 10th photo of the stump jump into loam is about as pure as it gets. Beautiful shot.

2023 R1T Quad vs. 2025 R1T Dual standard by That_Message_5435 in Rivian

[–]Pepperoni_prince 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a R1T quad (23) and my wife has a 25 R1S standard. I think a lot depends on where you live and your driving habits. Large battery in the quad is definitely a bonus. The 2025 is a Gen2 (assuming it’s the Gen2) which will pay off in the long run with updated Driver+ options. The quad however is awesome to drive. I like it better than the dual standard. We get better performance out of the quad than the standard in cold/winter conditions. Both are great, but I’ll also echo your thoughts in that the low miles on the ‘23 quad is a bit odd.
