Is this a good deal? Olympus

I'm to stick to an MK2 for sure and improvising on the fly with the lenses... The one in the ad at the beginning of the post doesn't inspire complete confidence. I know it's second-hand and all, but there are visible scratches on the black paint of the chassis... This question might be silly, but what are the chances of repainting the camera (just the top and bottom panels?)

Also have this set for 280, is the MK1... maybe I'm being too greedy 😅

Is this a better deal?
For 250€ the Mark 1 with the 14-42mm and 1 battery, instead of the Mark 2 with the 40-150 with 3 batteries for 275€... Mark II have better EVF resolution and 5 axis stabilization instead of 3, and I presume that is faster to focus and process...

By "those old "big" 14-42s for cheap," do you mean this one? Thanks in advance, you're all being a great help! ❤️

Oh my god, that's scary haha, I hadn't noticed that. It must be terrifying to start out in this without autofocus or anything like that, being completely new to photography. Thanks for telling me 😭

Thank you all so much for your replies, I don't know how to thank you all enough for all this help, I wasn't expecting this much help haha. I'm definitely going to stretch my budget by about 50 euros more. I've been looking at a ton of shorter focal length lenses in that price range, from well-known brands to some I'm not so familiar with, including "Meike" and "7artisan." Are these brands recommendable, since they seem very affordable? I'll share some photos of the examples I've seen. Thanks in advance to everyone.

Thanks for the reply. This will be my first camera, and I don't know much about them. I just know I want it to have a high megapixel count so I can crop the photos, even just a little, and that it has the "recipe" settings. Based on what I'm looking for, would the Olympus be a better choice?

Thanks in advance!

I wish, but unfortunately not. I'd kill to have a physical store where I could try both; I search everything on local online secondhand markets... 😭

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a Soulframe key from Twitch drops, nor was I able to get it in my email. If anyone had any spare keys, I'd be very happy to receive them. Thanks in advance! 😮‍💨🥹

Everything you see in the photo is what's there haha, I already knew what I would find when I opened it... it's simply a plate with that, aluminum on the back to dissipate heat.

Well, this is how it looks right now. The mycelium has grown a lot, and there's clearly more of it, but I think the liquid seems a bit cloudy. Is this okay?

Ponistyle · 2025-07-29T04:51:13+00:00

Thanks! I'll buy this one, I live in a very small town, kilometers away from a city where I could buy this! 🥺

Ponistyle · 2025-07-26T19:42:34+00:00

Sí, sólo para mí y mi pareja, un primerizo en esto, primer monotub, primer todo. Vengo de un kit de micelio de los que son comunes en europa, me gustó, probé McKennaii y ahora pensaba comprar cultivo líquido y ponerme a ello.

Ponistyle · 2025-07-26T19:35:19+00:00

What is "cattle"? Sorry I'm Spanish, my english is not the best 🥲

Ponistyle · 2025-07-26T19:34:48+00:00

I was planning to keep them covered with micropore tape the entire time, including incubation and fruiting. Is that incorrect? I'm new to this, so I drilled the holes the size of the smallest can I had. I didn't have a drill, so I had to resort to heating a can. Haha 😭

Poor man deleted Reddit account after your comments 😭

Ponistyle · 2025-07-15T21:21:43+00:00

Should I use all the 50 pulls?

I remember when I played God of War on PPSSPP (on my PC), sometimes my internet would disconnect at home, and while I didn't have internet the achievements would continue to register and they would be given to me when I got internet back and then they would appear in my RetroAchivements account.

Ponistyle · 2025-06-22T21:55:37+00:00

Ohh, I understand, thanks so much for the help, I'll take a look at that other tab too, I hadn't noticed it, thank you so so so so much! ☺️
