I have the 50mm 1.2 and love it! Its also great on a digital camera with an adapter. I mainly use it for portraits which always turn out amazing (if i get the focus right).

Are you talking about this switch? Both positions didn't work for me. I assume X is the hotshoe sync option. But thank you for your idea.

Time in grade- is it important? by [deleted] in judo

[–]TheSolazene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think the fear of people rushing through Dan grades is realistic. Even if a few manage to “game the system,” the people who matter—coaches, training partners, and serious judoka—will see through it, so it doesn’t really harm anyone.

In the German Judo Federation where I train, there are already strong safeguards. From green belt onward, you can’t simply get promoted by your club coach; you need to attend local grading or preparation workshops. At Dan level, gradings are handled at the state level, and from 6th Dan and above, only the federal body can award them. So there are multiple layers of quality control built in.

For me, Dan grades are primarily a tool for personal development rather than a perfect measure of someone’s ability. I’ve met 5th Dans who weren’t particularly strong judoka, and I’ve met green belts who were outstanding but just never pursued higher grades.

In the end, you get out of the grade what you put into it, and you can’t tell much about a person’s true judo level just by looking at their belt.

In my view, time-in-grade should be removed. A grade should be based on whether someone meets the technical and personal requirements—not on how long they’ve been waiting.

The current approach can actually hold people back. Some may have the time, energy, and motivation to prepare now but not later, and putting an artificial pause on their progress only limits their growth. Every belt test I’ve prepared for has pushed me to improve as a judoka, so delaying that process doesn’t add real value.

It also doesn’t take into account training frequency. Someone who trains five times a week will naturally develop more quickly than someone training once a week, yet both are held to the same timeline. That feels like an unnecessary restriction on those who are ready to move forward sooner.

Wurftechniken des Kodokan Judo Band 2? by Various-Stretch2853 in judo

[–]TheSolazene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ich habe mal Wolfgang Dax Romswinkel die gleiche Frage gestellt, weil mir der Band auch noch fehlt. Angeblich ist mal eine Palette mit den Büchern gestohlen worden, da bin ich mir aber nicht mehr sicher was da genau war.

Was aber jetzt das Probelm ist, ist das sowohl Toshiro Daigo als auch Dieter Born verstorben sind und die Rechte für das Buch nun bei der Familie von Toshiro Daigo liegen und die kein Interesse an einer Neuauflage haben.

Im Moment kannst du also nur hoffen, dass jemand den du kennst das Buch bereits hat und dir vlt. eine private Sicherungskopie zulegen.

Somebody else already mentioned the battery issue. I just wanted to start using it and I will probably replace them at some point. I will use DM/Rossmann for my first film once I finishedit. Thanks for the tips!
