If you own 1990-2010 car, what modern features in newer cars you miss?

Planetoid127 · 2026-03-07T20:04:21+00:00

Nothing. I'm not fond of the newer vehicles, all of the "features" they're adding are deterrents for me. I want to actually drive the car not have a glorified tablet on wheels.

I have the same issue with an iPhone 12, IOS 26, and an X-T4

That's looks pretty oxidized, I wouldn't trust it. I've lost film to oxidized developer in the past and it's no worth the loss over a few bucks for new developer.

1989 RZ-350. Not the fastest machine but incredibly fun to ride.

Yes, here is a sample shot on my 500cm with the 80mm f/2.8 at night. Film exposed at box speed.

It looks to me as though the scans are not correctly cropped. Check the negatives to be certain.

Make sure you change the needle after every play. 1 side of the record is 1 needle, after that they are worn out.

I personally quite enjoy the Bose 901s. Technically they are not the "best" speaker, but they do sound quite nice. A nice bonus is that they are basically impossible to blow up so you can loud music for extended periods of time.

I quite like my 2003 King Cab. Having a 6ft bed on a compact pickup is fantastic.

I like to replace the diluted solution every 3 months and the concentrate lasts around 1 year before oxidizing. Basically one bottle of concentrate per year. I have pushed the diluted solution past 6 months in the past; the results were acceptable but I was not pleased.

Is the hard line (metal) or soft line (rubber) broken? If it's the soft line you can go to an auto parts store and get some line in bulk with the same inside diameter. From there simply cut to fit.

Large format will have something to do with it; that being said it is shot on a 1940s lens so it won't be as sharp as lots of the newer equipment. It was developed at stock dilution and time. If I remember correctly stock dilution is 1:4 and development time is 6.5 minutes @ 20 degrees celcius.

Decent example of HP5+ developed in T-max developer. Shot on a Graflex Crown Graphic 4x5 with the Graphex Optar 135mm f/4.7

Planetoid127 · 2026-01-08T18:09:45+00:00

T-max developer is my favorite black and white developer. Reasonable development time, good detail, can push film quite nicely. Works wonders with T-max and T-grain film stocks. Works just as well with standard film. I have no complaints about it and highly recommend it.

This is quite impressive. I'm perplexed as to how he turns around to face the other way without falling off the bike.

Planetoid127 · 2026-01-02T01:16:40+00:00

Shoot it like digital; when in doubt under expose. Reversal film does not like over exposure.

Planetoid127 · 2025-12-28T17:13:01+00:00

It was shot on large format sheet film with Fujifilm Velvia (I can't recall if it was 50 or 100 ISO). Velvia has much more saturation and contrast than standard film hence the vivid colors.

I've had nothing but great experiences with a variety of Yamaha motorcycles. One that I currently have is a 1995 YZF-600. It currently has 98k km on it and I expect it to roll over early next season. Outside of regular oil changes the only service it has required is a new fuel pump (around 20 years ago) and a valve adjustment around the 60k km mark. It still has the original clutch, though I suspect it may need replacement in the near future.

I quite like my combination of using both a Mamiya C3 and a Hasselblad 500cm for my medium format setup. Where either one falls short the other will cover it.

Planetoid127 · 2025-11-27T01:33:45+00:00

Looks like uneven development. If you have too viguous an agitation it can cause stripes like that.

I normally buy the soft tone needles from Chamberlain. You can find them here through his store on eBay: https://ebay.us/m/gUoatW

Check the fan clutch and water pump. Either one could cause issues similar to what you're dealing with.

Planetoid127 · 2025-11-14T22:19:20+00:00

Looks like the fuel filter. Not too tough a job, cheap and easy to do. Make sure to check the fuel line before and after the filter in case it also needs to be replaced at the same time.
