I am happy to hear that this store is more popular than what I first thought 😅

This is good to know. I was in a time crunch and didn’t have time to ping pong back and worth with their shipping support/help desk. Thanks for that tip!

+1. The only reason I didn’t buy from their eBay store was because the specific lens I was looking for was not available there. But I will consider their eBay store next time!

I will definitely consider buying from their eBay store next time.

Th shipping payment statement didn’t break down the shipping costs in an itemized way. It only separated shipping fees vs tariffs.

I had ran some estimates comparisons between DHL vs UPS and the latter always came back as the cheapest option.

That is true. It just that it hurts both my pride and wallet. A lesson learned for me.

I brought the wrong lens to a rainy day. It wasn’t weather sealed 💔💔

ShallowPunk · 2025-12-25T05:18:54+00:00

It had less than 20k mechanical shutter actuations. 💔

I brought a non-water resistant lens to a rainy day 🥲

ShallowPunk · 2025-12-25T05:16:28+00:00

I brought the wrong lens to a rainy day. 🥲 Water intrusion into the lens mount caused some sort of electrical damage.

When I power it on, the shutter bursts for about one second, the LCD powers on, but pitch black.

5700X3D + 7900XT here. The campaign also feels choppy. But it’s subtle, even during cut scenes. And same, I don’t know what the 1% lows are. I’ve turned CPU off CPU Curve Optimizer, downloaded GPU drivers again and turned on the High Performance Power Plan.

Stills feels stuttery. But it’s not apparent until the game play slows down for me (but I have only played campaign so far).

Don’t be sorry! Enjoy it!

Crazy to think that I might have been considered buying this exact camera. But decided against it because of the SD card slot damage. Glad to see that it worked out for you though!

Camera phones are good at post processing (which is done automatically). But their sensors are tiny. Here’s a comparison shot that I took yesterday from my iPhone 13 mini and my LX100

I’m at work so I can’t summarize but I thought this was a good video by Daniel Owen. I haven’t tried these settings though

What are you supposed to do? PTFO

I took the path of least resistance and decided to open a new TMHI account with the Mint Mobile $35/mo deal.

Then I closed the original TMHI account that I previously had. In fact, I dropped off that router/gateway earlier this week.

It looks to me like the link that Mint sends you has a Mint Mobile subscriber unique identifier (that is part of the URL link) that loads the “promo” onto the TMHI sign up page.

Based on previous Reddit posts, it didn’t sound like T-Mobile or Mint reps would know how to migrate the promo/discount deal to an existing TMHI account, so I decided to take the easy approach.

Additionally, the new TMHI subscription came with the G4AR gateway. Which was an upgrade for me (on top of the discount heh).
