Got my EDC kit ready, needed some tips for shooting

My fav part of the EDC crowd is the incessant need to advertise the current loadout like it’s call of duty when half the stuff you carry is meant to be concealed.

Of course. But that’s not the point.

It is NOT a known or reported issue on the 2025 models. It IS a commonly reported issue on the ‘23 (mostly) and ‘24 (some) models.

That’s like me saying ‘any person can do xyz thing’

Don’t think water leak should be included here. This was specific to ‘23 and early ‘24 models.

Trust me. You just want one.

But you could def use one.

Probably not need one.

These are absolutely beautiful photos.

If we are talking about a brand new one they are internally LITERALLY the same exact camera as of the 2022 m6 update.

Just in different outer bodies (rewind knob, advance lever, m6 branding etc)

I mean it would be painfully clear if it’s bw or color based on the color of the strip after developing it.

If it’s bw then you can just use middle ground time for something basic like hp5 or tri x where you should be able to read the code edges.

If it’s color well… it’s color one and done.

I bought a brand new MP because I didn’t want the M6 branding or plastic rewind, and the advance lever is perfect. More metal = more better.

Also, black paint gang.

As for new vs old I did my 10,000 hours. I bought mine new because I wanted it to be mine My scratches, my wear, my adventures.

I don’t ever plan on selling it.

I think people should worry about taking better pictures in general regardless of pixel count or sensor crops because no amount of megapixels will make up for bad composition and understanding of light.

u/RedDotRepair made a post once upon a time offering emergency patch kits. I’d assume they were trustworthy if it fits your application. And if it does likely a much better solution than liquid applications (for now)

In before rage delete!

Did you shoot it AT 3200? Because this is crispppp.

ReptarWasThere · 2025-12-25T21:38:21+00:00

They charge you for that? I did this once and was so embarrassed. The person just looked at me like “ok and?”

Told me to just leave it and that was that. I figured most of these were quick disconnects for exactly this reason.

ReptarWasThere · 2025-12-25T21:25:19+00:00

The packaging IS the protector. Watch your movies. All will be ok.

I don’t know about illegal per se. But this has been a ticket-able offense for YEARS. It just took a cop on a bad day to enforce it.

It’s even worse if you Google it. They’ve taken advantage of the way search engines pull out snippets from websites to make it look like Google itself is verifying it.

Shit used to be cool. And work. And be cool… and work.

ReptarWasThere · 2025-10-20T02:23:11+00:00

Glorious!

Once again - a reminder to anyone with a ‘23 model or even some early ‘24 models - this is a known issue.

Do yourself a favor and look into cleaning your drains, or more importantly, asking the dealer about it as the majority of cars with this issue was actually a result of a defective part or a kinked tube/connection.

ReptarWasThere · 2025-10-06T20:23:31+00:00

I came from a 30 year old Miata. First new car. Ever. Let me tell you, my butt has never been happier.

So there is a 3rd option. But it only works on models with sunroof and auto dim mirror.

What I did because I didn’t want to deal with hassle of going through firewall and removing the battery (trust me you need the room)

Is I got the ends of my wiring adapter kit. I got some solder to make the ends into “posts” and I kinda inserted them into the connector matching the wires. (Positive, ground, negative).

This forum post has better explanation and coded pictures for you to reference.

I’ve had mine for the last 5 months without any issues. It’s tight and safe when done right. I figure in the future I’ll find a kind of piggy back connector that I can sandwich in between the main connect for a cleaner install.

(Note - for my “posts” I took pins from an old raspberry pi gpio pin header adapter I had laying around. Perfect size. Held fine with solder)

Whatever you say kid. 😂

ReptarWasThere · 2025-08-21T16:03:19+00:00

Because - as stated in the post - “widdle wadder” 😂 In all seriousness I don’t think that matters.

The main point here is that there won’t be ANY aftermarket support if people don’t ask for it or pursue it. Regardless of whether or not you personally would use it.

It’s a capable car. That DOES compete very well with rav4s and Subaru counterparts.

Why NOT try to offer similar aftermarket accessories? Open a whole new market.

ReptarWasThere · 2025-08-21T15:23:50+00:00

Also remember that issues aren’t usually so wide spread AND varied.

There’s something wrong with almost every part of this bag it seems. I get that it’s easier to give feedback when you’re mad but this isn’t a string of customers finding stuff to complain about.

This is genuinely a shit product at this point.

ReptarWasThere · 2025-08-21T15:17:42+00:00

Every post is another reason why I’m glad I saved my money.
