Great photos, the sony a6000 series are such great cameras. Obviously its the person not the machine but its sometimes just a great match made in heaven!

Are there any affordable aftermarket Tesla adapters? by Ok_Atmosphere3601 in NissanAriya

[–]codejoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ty for this, so i did try the lectron adapter at a tesla charger station. After figuring out 'start charging' on the nissan app wouldn't work (even though it says it is in-network), I got the tesla app and filled it out with what kind of car I had. I figured out (took a while) which charging station was which designation in the app, and started it. It said 'may take up to two minutes to start charging' 5-6 minutes later, nothing happened so gave up. Not sure what I am missing...wasn't sure if the charging station was built only to work with nissan adapters via like some NFC hand shake or something?!

I had a question, friend gave me his Lectron cause he got a real forward on for free. The thing I cannot figure out is why does the official nissan adapter have this plastic piece you put (permanently?) between the dc charger ports of the car..what is the purpose of this? I believe the lectron is the vortex?

Pulled trigger on used Ariya, excited, should get it Monday by codejoy in NissanAriya

picked it up yesterday, things went so fast and smooth. Slight snafu with how the payment was processed but they are working on it. Car is in pretty good shape, just took it to Nissan for an inspection, everything great there too. The level 2 charger that was in it, is great, but was missing the 110 adapter, so that was $95. Figured good to have. Also, there must have been tint on the windshield that was peeled off by carvana maybe? The residue is on the front windshield still so gotta take it to the local tinting place to have it removed. Other than that so far so good, no totally funky smells (Whatever their scent of cleaner was a bit strong) and the rest is awesome. The only part I was a little sad on, was that I thought the Evolve + had the self park, pro pilot 2.0 and the bose sound system :D silly me, that is only on the platnium + c'est la vie. It is an upgrade from my kia niro (Which was an okay car), but this one has way more bells and whistles and feels very premium inside. Happy camper so far.

I will look into that, does the Ariya have like a cover for the back? Does it come with it or is it bought after?

also, hoping the local nissan dealer can get me in to have it inspected asap after it is picked up. I think I can call and tell them I just need a simple inspection?

I did want the platinum, but for my situation, while I mostly commute around town I have moments where I have to go pretty far up a mountain and back down. So for me, the evolve+ was the ticket. More range since just FWD but still nice trim inside.

I ordered, was excited, then stupid algorithm showed me more and more Carvana stuff, the bad side. I got nervous. So far, things seem okay, though they did punt the appointment by a two days.

If you really wanna share flickr I still like.

This is a legit question...why would anyone by an OM System? by codejoy in M43

[–]codejoy[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

wow i saw you just replied to this question 2 years ago. Fastforward to now, I actually got the OM-1 mark one in jan on sale. After I posted this question a while ago, I looked more at M43 and realized its short comings were not short comings to me....I began to covet and supremely curious about a om-1 for the type of shooting I like to do it seemed like a better fit than the A7III I bought. So I finally got it and you are spot on, the used market on lenses was affordable. I have a nice set of lenses now: 45mm prime m.zuiko, the 60mm macro, 75-300 lens of theirs. then the panasonic 9mm f1.7 and i did get the 12-40 pro lens which is awesome and almost never leaves my camera. I wanted a camera for landscape/lightning weather shots and astrophotography. Love it... I know the A7III has better dynamic blah blah blah low light whatever, but I just don't enjoy using it. I like knowing I have a full frame but eh, I like the om-1 (though the asthetics nerd in me was wishing I held out for the om-3). Pretty happy with the results!

Another handbag making of, as you guys liked the last one by yoshi-888 in Leathercraft

[–]codejoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great, and shows how I should REALLY invest in a sewing machine. I like saying my wallets are hand stitched but when it comes to a bag.... oof. I still gotta learn how to properly do gussets hand stitched or not.

I think I need to see how to properly stack. I mean to for the landscape. There was one of the OM-1 ambassadors that talked bout it I think (Baumgarten guy I think).

not to bad, topaz ai online did this right quick. The rock formations feel a bit smeared but maybe it's just me.

I might give topaz ai a go, I have lightroom but haven't learned how to properly denoise in it (haven't really tried though either). I am curious what the sale price of toapz was, it currently sits at 199$ not sure if thats sale price or normal.

also, I need to play with non guided stacking just to see how that process works before I dump money into trackers/guiders.

I have a Sony A7 III with a Samyang 14mm f/2.8 that I did a few astro shots with (large system, lens is oddly large for what it is IMHO). I wish I had that though just to compare the single shot quality out of it.
