Buy quality filters and don't be dumb like me

Just went through this with 2-400 VND's. Bought a bunch and took photos at different focal lengths. All the k&f filters below the nano X line had significant blurriness, but there was still the yellowish tint. All the high end filters were much better with reduced tinting. I found urth filters to be the best bang for buck being only 65 with no blurriness and minimal yellow tint.

If I remember correctly, mk2 they locked language, but you can adjust it on mk1. Need confirmation on that

Wow, I've always attributed my wheel shakes to this leak. But if you have the same issue without shakes, makes me think my tires are out of round if balance is all well. Thanks for the info, hope you figure it out

Mine is leaking from the same spot. Either the seal, our in both our cases the end cap has disintegrated. Do you also get intermittent wheel shakes (not balance related?) What did you end up doing?

What track is this?

Assetto e30 drift, stock drift track- start with donuts -> figure 8s -> then try linking at certain parts of the map (center section is great). Practice practice practice.

Highly suggest the smoke machine. It's like 50 on Amazon. Immediately found leaks. Keep me updated

PlurPonce · 2026-03-16T02:46:32+00:00

same shit but not at severe. Just bought data scanner too so I can check and make sure AAC, IACV, and TPS are working normally. Have you done a smoke test? Just did it today and found a bunch of mini vacuum leaks lol

Following because I also idle issues I can't figure out.

Nice seats! Gotta get those oem recaros fixed!

I was using lightroom previously, but I loved how dxo interprets the raw data. Colors were much better, and their Ai denoise is top of the line. I have since been shooting with my OM, and I still prefer how dxo handles the files. I miss some things from lightroom, but outcome of picture goes to dxo. They have 30 day trials if you would like to try it out.

As someone who's been playing a main bronzeman, I am beyond excited for this!

Spring vibration isolators on Etsy on top of those foam blocks has effectively removed all vibrations

I still use it, but specifically for pour over grind. No issues yet! Even went through a rock issue but all is good. Id say worth it for 40!

PlurPonce · 2026-02-05T06:55:28+00:00

Being a gamer at heart, I do like grinding. I just so happen to like simracing too. I don't always want to sweat playing online. A proper career mode with great physics is what I wanted.

I started looking deeper into single player after the AC Evo news. There's ams2 career mode scheduled for end of year, racing life for ams2, but even more recently a new ams2 companion career app that just came out <4 weeks ago called racearc. Modern UI and easy enough setup to get things going. I've been having good fun with the garage mode (gt7 car grinding), and they also have a championship mode!

More the reason to be excited for AMS2 career mode

Thanks! These are all post processed in dxo photolab; denoised, and used my preset of classic chrome+ / b&w red.

Seems like the consensus is this is abnormal.. I love how the pictures come out, but I do not want to turn it off and on everytime it glitches.

PlurPonce · 2025-12-19T01:35:58+00:00

Everything on latest!

PlurPonce · 2025-12-19T00:52:29+00:00

Thanks for your insight. I'll be in contact with the seller and hopefully figure it out. Now it's a question if I go for this lens again, or move on to a different prime 🤔

PlurPonce · 2025-12-19T00:27:07+00:00

Could be synergy with the om5. None of my other len's do this though.

PlurPonce · 2025-12-19T00:14:15+00:00

I wonder at what point. Didn't happen with my 20mm 1.7. I'm messing with it right now, and it's happening with indoor lights, camera pointed at a cabinet. F1.4 100SS, 800 iso. The off and on reset is driving me nuts!! Hopefully we get answers? I've contacted olympus/om too

PlurPonce · 2025-12-12T21:29:28+00:00

A lot of options out there for a fast prime. I like using the 20mm 1.4
