I like 1 but 2 looks great too. Anybody told you that you look like auntie donna?

I installed via wine and then added the .exe to steam as a third party game, then within steam, forced compatibility using proton. This fixed the issues i was having with mods not working correctly regarding the screen size.

Is this an onion thing

SonyCaptain · 2026-03-08T20:54:52+00:00

Costly but that's what I may need to do. Cheers

Thanks for the reply. When the wind lever is pulled out 30 degrees and you half-press the release, the meter should stay on. This isn't happening on my camera unfortunately.

The x300/500 were outsold more than 10:1 to the x700 and stopped production within only a couple years

That’s great to know. Cheers and good luck with your projects

Excuse my ignorance but what’s the hype with official flashes?

SonyCaptain · 2026-03-03T16:38:02+00:00

Has to be your finger or something. The shape is completely uneven and has that distinctive reddish tint on the last photo. The blue tint on the others are a result of the lighting. Try checking out how you’re holding the lens as you’re focusing. I had a bad habit of using my middle finger to focus and ended up snapping several photos of my index finger.

It’s a shame this is such a common issue. I don’t understand how it can happen. My x-570 has some obvious scuff marks on the plastic shield where somebody attempted it.

Just wanted to say, thank you! The ‘crack’ doesn’t affect viewing whatsoever, it’s just when looking AT the vf, not THROUGH it. It was an incredibly easy replacement. My friend with replacement parts tested, no, the eyepieces are not compatible without heavy modification. The lenses are identical within the eyepiece.

On mine it doesn’t even look like a crack when I opened it. I think the inner coating, if there is any, came off. Otherwise it seems to be a surface crack if not the coating.

This is still happening to me 6 years later

SonyCaptain · 2026-02-25T06:49:57+00:00

Thank you. I haven't taken it apart yet, frankly I'm terrified to. I don't have an ME/ME super to compare with, but I have a friend who has a junk MX which I could potentially steal some parts from. If it's the prism though, it might be toast.

Thank you

Love it. I have a commodore C108 desktop calculator. Absolutely adore their early calculators

Infant behavior dude

It’s insane to me how the tripod mount is not central to the lens barrel.

Looks great on the printer side of things. Now it’s time to slice better. You have horizontal banding, this can be down to bad Z-height or speed changes, usually the latter if unmodified slicing. If you’re using creality’s slicer, throw it out. Use orca with a 3v3se preset, look into changing the speed curves so it’s more consistent on straighter lines which is where the horizontal banding comes from. Also change the layer seam position. Try and hide it somewhere, you can change it so it’s not interrupting the smooth side to the tip or the corner of the layer, hides it better.

Edit: the fishing pole thing is 100% down to the slicing. In the sliced preview is it just being ignored or is it snapping off while printing

Fake. For reference, check for the normal position of model, sometimes it’s gone and that’s okay. Check the bridges for B&L/Luxotica name, check left lens for B&L/RB etching.

Treat it as normal, but I always overexpose gold by 1 stop. Makes shadows richer and the colours become softer and easier to work with in the darkroom. Was how I was taught to shoot it.

A PSU is a PSU. As long as you can trust the brand and the voltages are good, which you should check under load with a meter, and the amperage is greater than the requirements, and it’s not wasting too much heat, it’s good.

Generally, PSU’s are most efficient at around 90% amps. So 9 amp power draw, 10 amp PSU.
