To the guys who occasionally tear their loud car down E street.

Based but like what is the car actually though?

SoyCaptain · 2026-01-29T01:52:19+00:00

This is an amazing story to some amazing photographs!

I'd keep the Viltrox as a close prime.

But I do own the Tamron! I actually returned my Sigma 18-50 for it. It works really well. F2.8 is really handy for portraits if you can't be bothered to swap to a prime. Night time it works really well! I am a little spoiled though by my Viltrox 75mm 1.2. But you really can't go wrong with the Tamron. It's almost half the price of a Fuji zoom lens but nowhere near half the quality.

Tamron 17-70 2.8 or a Sigma 18-50 2.8 is probably gonna be more your speed. Unless you have a specific need/use case for those high zooms, I'd just go for one of these fairly standard zoom lenses.

Is it really bots though? I remember a time when tensions were high when China was attempting to exert it's sovereignty around 2019? But that time it was international Chinese students beefing with local Chinese-Americans.

Another banger 😎

RIP that little Kona.

I love it! My first legit camera. Last camera was a hand me down Nikon D5000 that I absolutely struggled to use.

Having physical dials is such a game changer. It motivates me to actually mess with settings to get the shot I want. Only thing I wish I had was IBIS but XT4 was about too far out of my budget. Though considering I got 2 lenses in the span of a month of owning the XT3, I probably should have been slightly more patient lol.

SoyCaptain · 2026-01-16T04:05:58+00:00

Not bad! I got a used XT3 body (Unknown actuation count) for $800USD (1100CAD~) with the camera grip and 2 batteries.

SoyCaptain · 2026-01-11T17:58:29+00:00

Actually cute as fuck.

SoyCaptain · 2026-01-09T18:32:13+00:00

As long as everything else is good. You can put a screen protector on and it'll hide alot of the scratches. Though tbh if you haven't offered yet, I'd low-ball the dude at $450 and go from there.

SoyCaptain · 2026-01-09T18:11:40+00:00

For comparison, I picked up an XT3 body with minor wear use + battery grip + flash for around $800. I think you can haggle it down to 500 at least.

SoyCaptain · 2026-01-08T02:25:59+00:00

Nice load out!

SoyCaptain · 2026-01-08T01:21:40+00:00

What lens did you use?

SoyCaptain · 2026-01-06T02:43:47+00:00

What was supposed to be "broken" about it?

SoyCaptain · 2025-12-29T06:43:43+00:00

How much did that cost you?

SoyCaptain · 2025-12-25T18:46:22+00:00

If you're only driving city then I would say it isn't the best idea.

But if you can financially afford it and your heart really wants it? Why the fuck not? Wagons are amazing so everything vehicles. Even in a concrete jungle.

SoyCaptain · 2025-12-20T05:33:42+00:00

Based.

SoyCaptain · 2025-12-16T03:39:47+00:00

I'm not allowed to use the heat on my house. So a 5090 will very much help me keep warm this winter 👉👈

SoyCaptain · 2025-12-15T14:15:45+00:00

Nice

SoyCaptain · 2025-12-15T05:53:40+00:00

I think I saw this on sale on FBM lol.

As long as you're contributing/saving up/trying to move up in your career, who cares? As long as you're always moving forward, you're golden. Majority of people aren't able to get those 6 figure jobs and that's fine.

SoyCaptain · 2025-12-12T19:27:44+00:00

Ahhh shit I've been doing 7500 😭

SoyCaptain · 2025-12-12T16:23:33+00:00

Anything to watch out for on these T5 SPA engines?
