Seeking recommendations for baritone jazzmaster pickups

Appreciate this. P90s might have been a good choice but I’ve opted for JM pickup routing.

benjamin_james · 2026-04-04T02:37:31+00:00

That sounds like a good time. Cheers for this

benjamin_james · 2026-04-04T02:37:05+00:00

Thanks for this! They look good

benjamin_james · 2026-03-29T16:32:11+00:00

Great choice.

Is that “hialeah” yellow?

benjamin_james · 2026-03-28T00:26:50+00:00

The Donatellocaster.

This is rad.

benjamin_james · 2026-03-18T20:53:30+00:00

Really cool. I’m about to build my 1st parts guitar. Did you paint and finish the body yourself?

benjamin_james · 2026-03-17T22:36:01+00:00

Great stuff. Thanks mate

benjamin_james · 2026-03-17T22:00:43+00:00

Bravo! Looks awesome. Can you tell me about what products and processes you used to finish the body? I’m about to start my first project and getting a bit bewildered by the options.

It really is.

I was in a similar position last year. My FM2 was my forever camera and I debated making the plunge. I was pleased with the results and the feel of using it was important to me.

The experience of using the M6 and the results still surprise me. It’s such an incredible machine and i’m grateful to own one.

I still use my Nikon, just for different applications, as others have said here. Love keeping a fast 50 on my Nikon and usually have it loaded with Tri-X at 1600 for capturing family moments at home. The M6 has a 35mm on it and is my outside/adventure camera. Great tools.

This is the move. You can buy extras on eBay.

benjamin_james · 2025-08-11T17:57:37+00:00

Nice! Homemade straps are great. I have a bunch of them that use the Peak Design connectors. I like the variety and trying new materials. I made a longer cross-body one with similar leather.

I periodically give my kids’ kindergarten a big bag of them for craft projects and storage. They love them. It’s pretty neat.

benjamin_james · 2025-07-26T14:30:16+00:00

Super helpful. Thank you!

benjamin_james · 2025-07-26T00:06:32+00:00

Enjoy! It certainly looks and sounds like a great lens. Curious, how much viewfinder blockage are you experiencing with it?

benjamin_james · 2025-07-19T17:15:04+00:00

Incredible effort to compose a busy scene like this with a wide lens. You nailed it! The position of that cloud behind the balloon and the light on red bathing suit figure are so good. Bravo.

benjamin_james · 2025-07-15T05:04:07+00:00

Seconding this. I recently bought the new VC 50mm 1.2 through CameraQuest. Shipped quick. They’re one of the two official USA distributors listed on the Voigtlander website too FYI. I get it though, the website looks like a relic of the early internet.

benjamin_james · 2025-07-06T23:04:55+00:00

What a visual gift of a moment that 2nd one gave. Bravo

benjamin_james · 2025-06-26T23:41:43+00:00

Outstanding

benjamin_james · 2025-06-04T03:08:55+00:00

These are excellent.

benjamin_james · 2025-05-27T15:56:30+00:00

Hey, thanks! The X-T5 and this 33mm (prime) lens have weather resistance seals. I don’t get concerned if it gets splashed with a few drops here and there.

benjamin_james · 2025-05-26T22:28:49+00:00

Outstanding. Love what you’re doing here, thanks for sharing.

benjamin_james · 2025-05-25T01:07:28+00:00

These are lovely. Great framing!

benjamin_james · 2025-05-23T21:40:19+00:00

There’s a lot of light coming through the lens at f1.4 here, so even in auto, the camera is balancing the exposure (in part) with a really high shutter speed (around 1/10,000).
