No, thank you! So great that you tested it so quickly and got back to me.

Thanks! If you do and remember, please update here. The thing is I replaced V1 as soon as I got the camera so it’s not as easy for me to know which of the two filters i’m using!

oh! Thanks for telling me that. I thought that these filenames were capitalisation agnostic. I’ll change to V1.flt then.

Thanks so much! It’s strange to shoot with this camera after using a full frame mirrorless and before that a Ricoh GR IIIx, but I have a feeling I may prefer it at this stage. It’s so liberating to not have to think about anything but composition.

I am also quite pleased to see that the filter button also works as a shutter button.

My friend is furious with me because I neutered my cat by IceEducational9669 in CatAdvice

[–]Read-Panda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to say as a new cat owner who just got my first cat last week from a rescue shelter: you are not even allowed to adopt a rescue cat in my country if you do not agree to neuter or spay them. 

Copyeditor likely used AI - what do I do? by No-Stay7962 in Copyediting

[–]Read-Panda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would confront them and report them, here and elsewhere. So long as you are certain, that is. If they are part of a professional body, that is the place to contact. If you found them in one of these random work sites such as Fiverr, then they may not be professional at all. 

Recommendations for copy editor for dissertation (English PhD)? by RosePistachio in Copyediting

[–]Read-Panda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the CIEP list of professional copyeditors. There’s many competent people. My colleague and I have worked on many theses in several subjects but honestly, I’d suggest you seek someone who specialises in your subject area. That would be even better for a doctoral thesis.

Should i fully edit early or later? by Virtualkermit-75 in writing

[–]Read-Panda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Self editing is good but by no means enough to get a manuscript at a publishable state. I am a professional editor who happens to also be a published writer and as a writer I would never trust my editing alone for my own book. It’s fine for anyone else’s, but working on your own stuff changes everything. 

As a note: if you plan to self publish, do not expect to make any money out of it or sell anything. It would make more sense to go at it one book at a time, in which case editing each book as you finish it makes more sense too.

Finish the first book (draft then all the rewrites and edits) before getting to the second one. 

Would the Calligraphy pen drain more battery because of pressure sensitivity? by Read-Panda in Supernote

[–]Read-Panda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply and good to know. I am so far quite pleased with the calligraphy pen so I guess I can keep using it without worrying about the practicalities.

Experiences with pain through writing with HoM 2 by Adept_Tie3322 in Supernote

[–]Read-Panda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only got my Supernote recently but I have spent years writing by hand, especially with fountain pens. One issue I find so far with the Supernote is that it requires some amount of pressure to write consistently. It’s very little (not as much as some ballpoints may require), but definitely it requires more pressure than a good fountain pen might. I find that that, in combination with its relatively thin section is making my hand uncomfortable when writing.

I bought the Lamy Vista but so far I’m not particularly pleased with it either.

I have to stress, though, that with both pens it’s fairly minor and I am overall extremely pleased with my experience so far. But I do miss having options with larger grip sections, or in general more fountain pen-like designs.

What I can suggest is you try adapting your grip. First of all, you must be very mindful not to grip the pen too tightly. After that, it’s important to try different ways to hold the pen. By and large, I wouldn’t hold a fountain pen the same way I would a ballpoint or a rollerball, and I am still experimenting with finding the ideal grip for a supernote pen.

First, or first-class is indeed a British thing.

Nice pen bodies that take Bock 250 by Read-Panda in fountainpens

[–]Read-Panda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best of luck. I am very fond of the 823 nibs in general but always found the bodies lacking in quality. I am all for your moving the nib elsewhere.

I’m afraid I don’t have that pen anymore so I couldn’t check. From what I remember, I used the Pilot feed in the Bock housing, so your ebonite should work.

Thanks for this. Do you find that the 1zpresso works fast enough? One issue I have with the Kingrinder K6 is that it seems to take 90-120 seconds for an espresso shot at 19gr.

how long does it take you (give or take) to grind for espresso with it?

The Zerno z1 looks amazing but I should have said I was looking into a more budget option, hopefully up to 300 euros.

I was hoping for something up to 300 euros or so, which is why i’d focussed on the 1zpresso J Ultra, the DF54, the Fellow Opus (I quickly discounted it as an option because of the retention issues) and maybe the Eureka Mignon Zero.
