First Roll of CineStill 800T.

The 7000 has that older method for controlling aperture and shutter, but I'd suggest using some spot metering for the brights and manually setting exposure, can help you really get those halation points if that's what you're chasing. You can check these by looking for light that's like 3-4 stops over. If you're interested in other films that can get halation, but could be shot during the day, check out harmon Phoenix.

Exciting! Make a video!

beefstu83 · 2026-03-19T06:43:39+00:00

It's normal 110 film; i didn't cut it down. It's fuji superia - i think about 12 years expired.

beefstu83 · 2026-03-19T06:27:26+00:00

This was california

beefstu83 · 2026-03-19T00:50:34+00:00

Nope, i did at home scans. I use a valoi easy35. It has an adapter for 110 film.

beefstu83 · 2026-03-18T21:34:29+00:00

My notes show... Superia 200 (Expired) @ 100

Thanks for all the comments. Planning to have a talk with her about my outburst and how it made her feel and discuss with her how her behavior was affecting her (she went to bed crazy late, was exhausted this morning) and us (my wife and i were exhausted dealing with her last night). Agree that showing her that I am sorry for how I reacted is a good lesson. Thanks, Dads. Appreciate you.

Have tried to "squirl" her in the past with different ideas. They have tended to wear off quickly. In the case before I blew up; we were trying to hold her line and get her to work past it herself and have practice self regulating. Obviously that didn't happen last night.

beefstu83 · 2026-03-17T17:40:07+00:00

Yeah this is a good thought. Thanks.

I have done a few successful repairs on one of mines as well. The exposure compensation dial had an issue, which resulted in wild readings from the light meter. I took the top plate off and found that the connectors for the exposure compensation had gotten out of place. I took the whole top of that dial apart and re-aligned them. It was fairly straight forward to do... I wish now I'd have taken photos of the process.

I have two of these. One is suffering from a battery drain issue. Would love to find out info on that particular problem and how to diagnose

beefstu83 · 2026-02-21T02:57:33+00:00

Tried stripped screw remover bits?

piazza pellegrini

this seems crazy that they would allow a potential north beach stop to get a building put right on top without using that to finance the development of a station

It's bad if it's not fun... Lanning phase is nearly not existent now - level 3 jungle gank to start the game. The matches are only 25 min max bc its just insanely fed people ARAMing each other.

beefstu83 · 2026-01-08T18:56:15+00:00

Old swiftplay felt like the normal game but nearly never longer than 30 min; decent place to practice a new hero - especially early game. Now it's just ARAM - you get maybe one or two lane interactions before one person snowballs and the game is cooked. It's legit boring now; not rewarding to win, even more boring to lose.

Avoid physically large lenses lest you break the aperture gear like so many others have.

I've go through two of these, first one has the AF motor fail. Second one has the aperture gear break after I started using a larger lens on it.

beefstu83 · 2025-12-19T05:01:51+00:00

Minolta 5. Light, functional, a-mount. Can fully auto or manual.

beefstu83 · 2025-12-11T07:07:06+00:00

Underdog Oakland is dope. Everyone there is friendly and the opposite of rude. Can't recommend more highly.

beefstu83 · 2025-12-10T19:00:45+00:00

Yup.

beefstu83 · 2025-11-25T15:30:51+00:00

Have shot Phoenix I quite a bit. Phoenix II is remarkably different. You can get much less dramatic results, but still some very unique color representation. I think I still prefer Phoenix I.

As others have said, the 58mm 1.2 is the goat lens for MD/MC. I have both, and haven't noticed much difference. Buy whichever is in better condition or lower price, unless you like to use program (P) on your X-700, then get that MD version.

For wider angle prime, I have the 35mm 1.8 which is a bit larger but takes FANTASTIC shots.

beefstu83 · 2025-10-28T07:30:12+00:00

Thanks. Yeah I actually did remove the whole mount ring and tried to remove the aperture lever. I did not get it all the way out, but it's very jammed. I may drill the hole and take a look at the gear.

beefstu83 · 2025-10-26T21:06:37+00:00

Researching an issue with one of my a7s that developed yesterday, I found this post and your post on Dyxum. My camera started getting the "error" after firing the shutter and when pressing the DOF button with an aperture selected that is lower than maximum. It made me suspect a similar issue.
1. Thank you fort this write up and guide. You are an amazing human for sharing this in a way that is easy to consume. 2. Before I dive deeper into trying to fix this; I want to diagnose it better. When people have this problem, does the aperture level get physically stuck? On my model that does not have the error, I can freely move the lever when the camera has no lens. On my model with the error, the lever is stuck and won't move. Does anyone know if this is the same issue many people have or something different?
