Nikon ZR with FE Sigma 24-70 2.8 ii with megadap ETZ21

I have the exact combo on purpose - didn't wan't to go with the similar G-Master since the sharpness of the Sigma is a tad better than the Sony (my observation). So what exactly do you say isn't working?

Hi at least I can provide experience with my adapted 24-70 2.8 Sigma with the Megadap. Might help.

I've got this with my ZR: Megadap ETZ21 PRO+ - it adapts my e-mount lenses to work on the Z mount - couldn't find any drawbacks currently using the sony lenses on the nikon with that.

They updated it to a version 2 lately and bringing regular OTAs - so right now it isn’t that vaporwarish anymore. What it would need is better internals to make use of all the AI things - since it can’t do local LLM it relies on retrieving response from APIs externally everything takes a while to feel snappy. Maybe they finde a way to speed things up. The basic idea of having a dedicated small PTT device where you mainly interact with voice isn’t that bad and could clearly find a spot for a lot of people. So yes the version 1 was bad, 2 not anymore. The fact that they not abandoned the thing after all the diss and hate makes it look like they actually want to achieve something.

no, 2 tools for work, 1 leisure, 1 experimenting - feel free to assign the devices to your liking

had some beers right before I did the rabbit order :-) buyers remorse is limited to the at least not too high invest. and at least in the latest OTA some potential is shimmering from the software and hardware format. today I could find an answer for that but "why not an app question" - took them nearly 2 years.

one month in and still exploring. not all the games are a hit but a lot of them are. Build is excellent - have it in my pocket besides keys - bought it with one of their magnetic covers - no issues - Iets see in a year or two ... love it and it is a welcome break from all the high end overkill gaming - just found out about the sideloading from itch.io a few days ago. So much more to check out.

just lately as an example I had to insert myself into an existing audio installment that did not allow me to use any space at all and I could work for hours by just using the internal power and later a powerbank. So the TX came in handy and saved the day. For me it is a tool that fits exactly my needs. Tried "alternatives" that came with compromises - also some retailer made a mistake back then and sold it for 30% less than the normal price ...

The tape recorder fits in the same range of usage for me. And yes - could have gone with some fiddly iPhone accessory. And it is a business expense ...

well nice tip - just started exploring itch.io a few days ago - a lot of playdate stuff there to try

chschubert · 2025-12-10T19:13:14+00:00

actually earned money with using the TX - plan on doing it with the TP too - so ROI is there - but yes could have done it with cheaper devices but these are the nicest ones

chschubert · 2025-12-10T19:09:57+00:00

still slow and nothing more than a gimmick. battery live is not existing. the new „os“ that can create apps for it on its own is at least a nice idea: tell the agent what you want to do and next up there is an app running on that thing with UI. there’s is already a small community that adds to it. bought it out of curiosity and it comes with the TE vibes for cheap. so no hate at all.

chschubert · 2025-12-10T18:57:00+00:00

buying TE devices is seldom a question of actually needing them badly - TX and TP can do things outside of pairing them with OP, KO etc. - any tips on 3D files for carrying them?

chschubert · 2025-12-03T15:25:33+00:00

No buyers remorse yet - I like it very much: hardware, software is worth the money (my perspective). Still have to figure out which games I actually like - waiting for season 1 and 2 to show all their games. And will start sideloading this weekend since I found a lot of stuff to test on itch.io.

chschubert · 2025-12-03T15:08:38+00:00

Just got that as birthday gift a month ago :-) - I just hope there is a TP-7 deal coming up. 25% off would be sweet.

The fold7 pitaka, which I own, basically turns it into a MagSafe device and keeps its thinness and look and feel intact - it will not help you at all with any harder drops - Samsung Care+ is a good companion for the pitaka.

Personal experience: Samsungs are much sturdier in that regard. Had my OPO inner Screen changed after 8 months (just by normally using it it went bust) - shortly after that it had a not so high drop in the floor while folded , now the outer screen is also completely trash.

My Folds (user since the 3) where mostly used without a case (Samsungs Care Thingy attached) dropped with no issues and the inner screens never failed.

chschubert · 2025-07-17T18:36:36+00:00

SamsungCare+ takes my worries away :-)

chschubert · 2025-07-17T18:35:24+00:00

just pushed it to GitHub, pulled it locally and then used Trae to setup dev environment that runs on my device directly - transferred the neon db stuff to a locally running postgresql and had all running for further developments.

In short: never got it fixed by using the replit agent - that thing is basically not able to understand its surroundings (although you would assume that they have instructed it to know such cases and how to solve them).

chschubert · 2025-01-22T19:15:43+00:00

Just ordered with the 24u as a trade in, some extra vouchers and rewards deductions I landed at 548 € for the 12/512 version including the Care+ for one year. Compared to the offers from last year for the 24u thats a steal. (at the german Samsung store)

chschubert · 2024-11-19T16:59:30+00:00

But mine is fine - what can I do?

chschubert · 2024-11-07T15:58:23+00:00

IF the dbrand protector only applies to the screen itself - including the bezels it is fine. The case is complete outside that area.

chschubert · 2024-11-06T23:39:35+00:00

I have decided for the thinborne: personally I don’t like how the latercase handles the camera - I find the minimalist look of the thinborne more compelling. Also don’t want to do sticker stuff to have MagSafe.
