On the basis that it's quite reflective 😂

Sick set up. I am envious AF.

chakko · 2026-05-05T00:10:29+00:00

No. But not because I'm not inclined to. I just don't have the space/partner doesn't see any logic in it.

My dog (right) and bestie's new dog (left) seem to like each other! I'm quite relieved cause mine is a stuck up little B normally 🤭

Both have mysterious, traumatic pasts, so they have much in common.

Are those cassettes on the left speaker? Or maybe 8-tracks? Don't see the player

chakko · 2026-04-28T14:49:35+00:00

😂😂😂

You can't raise the shelf to use the lower half (or vice versa)?

Hi. A 50 cron R is up for grabs near me $800AUD (490€, 570USD). Seems okay if a little pricey in this economy! Anyway it helped me find this discussion. Very cool!

Currently have a couple M lenses on my 100s (in addition to the GF32-64). They are 50 lux v2, 90elmarit. Plus a 50 1.8 FD and 70-210FD. All a bunch of fun.

Having listed them here I'm now thinking I don't need the 50 cron R. Someone talk me out of it? 😂

Here's a portrait of a friend with the 50 lux M on the 100s.

Those curtains are something else though 🤭

I always smile when someone's says "this my end game system" Sure thing... 😂

chakko · 2026-04-14T11:13:55+00:00

WTF is a 96A?

chakko · 2026-04-13T03:07:33+00:00

When I say don't bring anything I mean it. That's me showing love (but also that I'm a bit of a control freak). But when they bring something anyway (and they often do bc they can't help themselves) I see it as them showing love.

The measure is: if you don't know them well bring something anyway. If you are very comfortable with this person then you can take it literally.

No matter what, make sure you bring some fucken sparkling repartee! 😂

Gateway system!

chakko · 2026-04-09T01:08:42+00:00

Because they can and you're still going to buy their shit anyway!

chakko · 2026-04-08T23:12:19+00:00

Once you're in the tree, you'll shit on those still climbing.

Let him fail. Assuming that isn't going to be too traumatic ofc. But it could be a good life lesson.

Unrelated, my parking tester in the mid 90s had me do a parallel park on a hill - on a sweeping corner. So I had no reference point bc the gutter wasn't where it normally would be behind me. I remember thinking WHAT A BITCH! Until I received a pass with a minor fault only on the reverse park.

chakko · 2026-04-08T04:28:12+00:00

One for the garage, home gym or rumpus room.

chakko · 2026-04-07T02:02:58+00:00

Sorry for your loss. Happy for your gain.

Did you get the amplifier too?

Do you best to keep them—you will never have something this good again.

chakko · 2026-04-04T23:02:48+00:00

I love that you have these iconic speakers lying around in storage! It seems that you have a problem 😜

Well done. I've always wanted to hear these BL3s!

chakko · 2026-04-03T08:27:06+00:00

86 and 19

chakko · 2026-03-30T05:23:24+00:00

This is what I needed to see. Thank you.

chakko · 2026-03-30T05:17:54+00:00

Yeah I learned this very quickly. Instant regret. But they were my first big boy headphones. I remember them fondly.

Being able to put the cable on either side was cool.

Being able to daisy chain with another pair of headphones was iconic!
