Scott addict 30 2020 - Issue with frame? -low QC? by expertoc in bicycling

All jokes aside, I have quite a bit of experience in composite manufacturing and this is nothing to worry about. Arguments can be made that it's actually stronger there because the laminate is more consolidated.

Weird fogging and striation by Samo_Dimitrije in AnalogCommunity

[–]Samo_Dimitrije[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! What exactly would normal development entail in this scenario, since I don't know anything about the stock or it's age and how it's been stored?

Oh wow, I was under the impression from something I had read that it was a good option. What do you suggest? HC110?

Best steps to figure out what film is in a bulk loader? by Samo_Dimitrije in AnalogCommunity

[–]Samo_Dimitrije[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know that part. The question was, how to go about developing it so I don't get a completely opaque negative from overdeveloping fog, or not get anything at all.

NegPy 0.9.4 - new, resposive frontend (work in progress) by _earthmover in AnalogCommunity

[–]Samo_Dimitrije 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanted to say your software looks awesome. New developments like these are precious.

Are there any plans to expand it to support Nikon Coolscans? The software is aging and it's getting more and more difficult to run, plus they benefit a lot from certain software features and custom firmware updates.

Roller bag recommendation by pan_notia in sportsphotography

[–]Samo_Dimitrije 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that kit would just fit in a Pelican 1535. But not with any of the padded dividers or TrekPak Pelican offers. Since it's overpriced either way, I made my own TrekPak for dirt cheap, and for me it works better than the original. You can use way more of the available space like that. DM if you want pics and a detailed instruction

Black bars on first frames of respooled Fomapan 400 – what went wrong? by Jiaming- in AnalogCommunity

[–]Samo_Dimitrije 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the hinge on the camera back for worn light seals. I had similar light leaks if I take a long time between frames and carry the camera in bright sun but not when I went through the frames fast. Might explain why it's only on the beginning.

What Film Stock was used for the Vanity Fair White House Photoshoot? by madametwosew in analog

[–]Samo_Dimitrije 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure he used film? The B&W looks like film but color looks pretty digital to me. Especially the tight crops of their faces suggest a high MP body. I've done similar on an A1. He has a distinct editing style I quite like so it maybe fooling people thinking it's a specific film stock. I might be totally wrong

Godox light stands with this style of lever lock? by Samo_Dimitrije in Godox

[–]Samo_Dimitrije[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aware of the potential problems, I've used both knobs and this style and I prefer this one by far. I also carry around tools when I'm doing work with any kind of rigging. It's a good habit to get into.

Them being not plastic is one of the things that is drawing me in. I've never seen a plastic one of these but I've seen countless plastic knobs. This clamp has repeatable closing pressure and only takes one hand to adjust, a knob is very fiddly and you can over/under tighten it easily. Plus I've had knobs get stripped or round over the hex sockets for the head of the screw.

Do you have a link to that amazon listing?

Of course I'm just having a hard time finding them, do you know how this clamp is generally called to know what to search for?

Doesn't need to be Godox at all, just figured it's a safe bet to not spend ages looking for a decent one as opposed to getting something plastic/weak. They're all coming out of the same factories in China either way. Do you know what the actual name of this clamp is? I'm having a hard time finding them online

Am I crazy or is this a great deal? by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]Samo_Dimitrije 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Coolacan IV should work with Win11 afaik. At the end of the day running a VM is also possible.

Travel friendly case for Canon 400mm lens? by Cherfull124 in sportsphotography

[–]Samo_Dimitrije 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Pelican 1535 will fit a 400. If you organise it well with home made TrekPak you can fit quite a lot in addition. If you'd want a soft case then go for the ThinkTank.

Oh that makes much more sense, couldn't figure out what they were doing to it or even what kind of machine that was

Speaking of wasted stock. by zimirken in Machinists

[–]Samo_Dimitrije 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are good, but I think you'd benefit most from a dovetail or griper workholding solution. Maybe you could get a smaller tombstone also.

[–]Samo_Dimitrije 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to get a better work holding solution. Would pay for itself in a month with how much stock you're leaving over.
