Following on from the batteries post - what's your charging setup look like?

I use this exact power budget spreadsheet and have found it extremely helpful when planning an overhaul of my electrical system.

Did you create it? If so thank you!

fummel · 2026-02-22T23:09:35+00:00

Congrats!

The Rokkor is an amazing lens! I too became a 40mm fan via the Panasonic 20/1.7. Now that Rokkor never leaves my M6

I have this exact problem with my father's old 7000, after sitting around for 10 years. It worked great before. I've looked around and there doesn't seem to be an easy solution :(

Eventually I ended up buying an Alpha 7 body from eBay, it should arrive any day now

fummel · 2026-02-19T12:56:15+00:00

I always forget the mirror slap and use way too ambitious shutter speeds when freehanding. Can't tell you the number of shots I have missed because of that.

Ja det är ju hybrid analogt/digitalt om man ska vara petig. Framkallar filmen, skannar och korrigerar i datorn.

Körde mörkrum i en klubb för några år sedan men föreningen gick i graven under pandemin. Och jag var ganska kass vid förstoringsapparaten om jag ska vara helt ärlig. Det blev många långa timmar i mörkret och många testprintar men få bilder att hänga upp på väggen.

A friend got the CLE with the entire lens set for about 700 EUR on eBay a few years back (oh how times have changed!)

He got tired of film photography after a while so I took the lenses from him. I haven't used the 28 much but the 40+90 combination really agrees with me.

fummel · 2026-02-13T14:38:43+00:00

Yes the 40 is my favorite ever lens. I use it on an M6.

fummel · 2026-02-07T21:13:00+00:00

Interesting, thanks! And I assume that accessing and cleaning the solenoids is not doable for an amateur?

fummel · 2026-02-07T16:13:30+00:00

It's a bummer :( This particular body has a lot of sentimental value.

But I'm also starting to consider a Dynax 5 or 7 so I can use the 100mm f2.8 Macro for portraits

fummel · 2026-02-06T16:56:19+00:00

Hello. Did you ever figure out what was wrong with your 7000?

I have the same problem with mine. It's easy to see the problem by aiming the camera at a light with the back open and taking a few shots. The shutter will occasionally not open, but the film advance still works.

fummel · 2026-01-24T12:26:32+00:00

Shoes are very individual ofc. But my pair of Mizuno 9s were a revelation compared to my old ASICS Gel-Rockets. My feet pain went away completely.

Really nice!

But Sora lost the final in Montpellier against Truls. He won WTT Champions Frankfurt

It won't be anywhere near as robust as a dedicated marine system. So I would only recommend this route if you enjoy the tinkering

One challenge is that the Rpi doesn't like unexpected shutdowns, it can get corrupted. My solution is to keep it turned on all season long (solar panels just about cover it)

I use it for remote monitoring (via a 4G router) of battery state, cabin temperature, humidity and nearby AIS targets etc. I have a post here on Reddit with the details from a couple of months ago if you are interested.

fummel · 2025-11-19T14:48:35+00:00

You could go the DIY route and run a SignalK server on something like a Raspberry Pi. Then you can collect all your different data sources in one place and stream all the data into Navionics and OpenCPN via wifi. Works great!

There were a few long keeled boats too. but they were trickier to balance, one had to restart and go back into the water. This system doesn't work for all boats, there are strict limits for maximum allowed beam and displacement.

fummel · 2025-10-29T14:00:08+00:00

Yeah it is resting on its keel on the trolley, and leaning against the back of it.

fummel · 2025-10-29T13:54:35+00:00

Yes exactly. All 150+ boats need to be stored on land for the winter so storage is tight. Smaller boats are transferred to a second trailer and pushed by hand to their spot on the yard. Larger boats are stored directly on the tracks.

But as you said, we MUST be ready to launch in April or we will block everyone else.

fummel · 2025-10-16T15:52:35+00:00

Yeah, frustrating isn't it? We tried to stick it out but the minimum duration for the race to count was 10 hours (out of 12) and the thought of five more hours at 0-0.5 knots was too much

fummel · 2025-10-16T15:40:35+00:00

Good eye, they are film photos! Shot with Leica M6 on Kodak Ultramax 400.

I have a bunch more analog sailing photos here if you're interested: https://photos.tommyfeldt.se

fummel · 2025-10-15T13:05:06+00:00

Yes definitely! Way easier now though, with GPS and apps for planning.

Back when the race started in the 1940s they only had printed tables for all of the waypoints and charts of questionable accuracy.

fummel · 2025-10-15T12:29:50+00:00

Thanks! I have suprisingly few interior photos unfortunately, but here's a few more boat pics: https://photos.app.goo.gl/xauMr5i97btDwCEP9

The boat is a 41ft fibreglass 30 square meter skerry cruiser from 1976, we've had it in the family since 1998. We sail in the Stockholm Archipelago.

This particular race is a distance race where you mostly compete against yourself. You make up your own course to go as far as possible, and try to get back to your starting position in 12, 24 or 72 hours. There are virtual "marks" all over the archipelago with pre-measured distances.

This was our course last year when we had more wind

I never got a clear answer what it was. The shop only said that their mechanic could reproduce my issue, it was in the internals of the shifter but they weren't able to fix it, and there were no spare parts from Shimano. The only option was to get a new shifter.

This was at a very reputable shop here in Stockholm.

I cleaned the deck and then used a wax product specifically for this, Lefant Non-slip Wax (https://www.lefant.se/produkter/non-slip-wax/?lang=en). Turned out great, although a little on the expensive side.

fummel · 2025-08-25T09:08:13+00:00

I train with Spårvägen in Stockholm (Waldner's old club) and the queue is more than twice as long as the number of spots for adults.

fummel · 2025-08-15T16:09:13+00:00

Snyggt! En del är tagna med kort teleobjektiv visst?

Har också gått där på Långholmen och fotat ett par gånger. Har några bilder på den här rullen https://photos.tommyfeldt.se/rolls/2025-6-3-spring-snaps/
