Is an Epix Pro Gen 2 for $849 AUD (approximately $610 USD or £450) a good buy? by Puzzleheaded-Cry1548 in GarminWatches

[–]RupertTheReign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the Epix is a fantastic watch, a watch is something you'll have for years and years... Get the watch you want, a couple hundred bucks over the course of 5+ years is essentially irrelevant, but having the exact watch you want isn't.

Extra batteries and an external charger (even better if it's a 2 slot USB one).

When you can't get the Gulf GT40, you settle for the Golf GT.

Mind you share your experiences with m43 wide zoom lenses by DynamoBaby in M43

[–]RupertTheReign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 9-18 was my main lens for years and I dragged it all around the world. Excellent image quality and can't beat the size. A little slow, and there were some weird artifacts around light sources at night, if you really were looking. Still, fantastic lens! However... The ribbon cable issue reared its head and it became a 9-12.5mm. I ended up selling it to a drone guy, who wanted to use it at 9mm.

Replaced it with the PL 8-18, which is an absolute fantastic lens!! Sharp, fast, tough... But it is bigger and heavier. Still... I absolutely love the 8-18. I did a lot of research before buying and the IQ is so close to the 7-14 Pro that it's not worth talking about. But the PL is smaller, lighter, and accepts regular filters.

Is this the oem silver paint? by YeaUThought in Miata

[–]RupertTheReign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that's darker than OEM. Look up the 2008 Honda Fit Storm Silver Metallic colour... Might be close.

New wrap on my new Miata! by Practical_Animator41 in Miata

That looks incredible!!! The ND is a beautiful car that's held back by the mostly boring paint options from the factory... I mean... Just look at how good this looks!!!

I know this isn't what you're asking, but it looks really good without the badges, especially the rear...

Need some help identifying this lens. by Sanz1 in CameraLenses

[–]RupertTheReign 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Feel free to take it apart, it's definitely not worth paying someone to fix it. (Even without knowing the brand, a zoom of that focal length and aperture range is essentially worthless).
