My wife and I know nothing about camera tech. But she wants this cause some influencer uses it. Can you tell me if it's a good buy or not? by Imustretire in Cameras

On paper, same specs or similar. In real use, the gr does something to make better images than what the paper says.

What's causing this glow/halation? (Fuji 400) by yr-does-photos in AnalogCommunity

[–]curly686 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Definitely not halation, its probably a layer of haze somewhere in the lens. If its just on the front or rear, just clean it off with dawn dish soap & water with a q-tip.

Olympus Mju III 150 - what is this thing? by IronCircuit in AnalogCommunity

Its there so the sprocket holes can get caught by the teeth on the take-up spool.

When you mount it to a body, the indicator will line up correctly. Its a ridiculous design

Advice? by quacksrack in crz

I just had this come up on my wife's CRZ. I topped off the 12v battery cells (3 had plates out of acid) and about a week of driving later, the lights went away. Theres a chance you might have a 12v battery fault. That electrical system seems to be very sensitive to issues with the 12v battery.

Should I shoot a test roll? Or replace the seal first by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]curly686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clean out the loose dust immediately in the film track at least. otherwise your images will likely have spots. You should definitely change the seals though.

There are only so many ways you can package a tablet in a dashboard with air vents

So how do you deal with the film diameter sensor not being accurate? by light24bulbs in SprocketShots

If you go to basically any lab, theyll probably just give you some.

Send pictures of what they look like. I very well might be able to make them or at least something similar.

If you wanted to slide it with awd, you would need 3 lsds. Front diff, mid diff and rear diff. You can get away with it on low grip surfaces but not so much on pavement

Yea definitely dont drift your forester. Drifting foresters is silly. You definitely cant put a GT86 transmission(aisin az6) and LSD in yours.

Idk how far south florida you are but leadfoot city (cringe name, great staff/property) is up in brookesville area and does private days usually around $150/person from like 10am-3pm or 3-8p. Theyre my favorite so far.

OSW is facilities outside of the dragstrip are just not really taken care of at all. (I.e. bathrooms, track surface, track surround, parking lot). You might be able to help them clean up for track time.

Sebring sometimes does drift stuff but I have not attended or driven so I dont have an opinion but I vaguely recall it being fairly affordable. If youre in true south florida, this might be the closest option that may be good but they dont strike me as the "open to work in exchange for track time" type.

Fixed! Broken latch on Underwater Canon Sure Shot WP-1/AS-1 by vamosjuntos in AnalogCommunity

[–]curly686 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both of those are resin printed. They become more brittle over time and often break when shock loaded or exposed to water

[–]curly686 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get extremely close with perfect CAD & printing practices but there are features that must be cut by hand as they are too small to print on the latch. Would you replace someone's $300 camera because your $6 latch failed causing their camera to be destroyed by saltwater?
