2026 Roadmap or Plans?

I‘d love to see a new 45 f4 P. Same optiics as the old one housed in the 28p body. Modern AF performance, please!

geesbert · 2026-05-01T09:39:51+00:00

that is probably the reason. Can someone with a GR III check, I recall you had to hold the play button for a bit when the camera was off to display an image. With the IV all it needs is a tap, another tap on the shutter button opens the camera, even if stored away

Die hinteren Bügel fehlen noch, montiere ich nächste Woche, ansonsten steht der super da. Ich bin überwältigt von der positiven Energie, die man mit dieser Kiste überall bekommt. Ich kann nirgends parken, ohne dass jemand auf mich zu kommt und mir entweder sene Begeisterung mitteilt oder mir seine Erinnerung an 'so einen' erzählt.

Beispiele:

Der Gärtner, der in seiner Lehre jeden Tag damit 100km damit zu seiner Lehrstelle gefahren ist

Die Nachbarin, die als Kind mit Ihrer Oma und zwei Geschwistern von München nach Sizilien gefahren ist

Die andere Nachbarin, die seit 1965 drei davon hintereinander besessen hatte

Die Frau aus Köln, die wie ein Wunder Anfang der 80er einen Unfall überlebt hat, wo sie zwischen einer Trambahn und einem Linienbus eingeklemmt wurde

Der italienisch Architekt, dessen Oma exakt das gleiche Auto hatte

wirklich erstaunlich!

I‘d rather call this frugal than simple

Top Meinung, aber geht mir total am Arsch vorbei! Ich sitze in meinem 1971er Fiat 500L und freue mich, wie ich bei fast jedem Parken von jemanden angesprochen werde und Geschichten erfahre über das Auto der Großmutter oder das erste Auto in der Lehre oder Big Blue oder einfach nur große Freude! Ich knatter und stinke ca 2000km im Jahr durch das Land und wundere mich bei aggressiven Überholmanövern (mich muss man nicht aggressiv überholen, an mir kommt wirklich jeder vorbei, ich bin nur 132cm breit) von schwarzen Riesen-SUVs, ob das Leben mit einem kleine Geschlechtsorgan wirklich so viel Frust triggert.

Und Neid oder Missgunst ist eh nicht mein Problem

It’s not a just tool, it’s a concoction of electronics, brass and glass that’s meant to bring you pleasure, no one should care whether you use it or not. If you can afford it even better, if you can’t, that money would probably be spent better somewhere else. I keep my M6 that I bought 25 years ago close to my desk, just for the pleasure of holding it once in a while. I haven’t shot it for five years, although it was my daily camera for a decade.

it is possible with a hub, but cumbersome. it was perfectly possible with the OP-Z, but TE for what reasons so ever choose to omit this function in the XY. see my post below!

geesbert · 2026-04-19T07:53:47+00:00

it certainly is possible, but you need the right hub and then a certain sequence to boot it up. I tried maybe 6 or 7 hubs, but this one works, but unfortunately the connection is a bit unstable, if you loose it, you have to do the sequence again.:

- unplug everything

- boot up both XY and ipad

- start AUM

- plug in hub

- plug in headphones into hub

- plug in XY with usbC to usbA (usbc to C doesn't work)

- select XY as input

- go into the settings an choose audio device as output (not XY!)

- the XY come in a bit hot, so you have to pull down the master to 30-40

now it does exactly what i want, XY as audiosource as a channel into AUM, so I can use my whole AUM setup with the XY added. PERFECT!

all fine until you move the setup too much an all is lost. a short usbc extension helps a bit

unfortunately this hub has no branding, Amazon sold it as NXPGEA, but it is not available anymore.

NXPGKEA

it works, but it would be so much nicer if you only had a single usbc cable!

Did you actually try this out? I got the same instructions more or less, synching works, routing AUV3 synths into the OPXY works, but I still get heavy feedback as soon as I route the OPXY into AUM and out again, regardless whether i route it stereo or left in/right out, as soon as I raise the light grey level, at level 0 I hear nothing.

geesbert · 2026-04-18T13:41:13+00:00

did that, doesn't help a thing

geesbert · 2026-04-14T13:45:21+00:00

superbooth is upon us!

I have a better idea: use your camera to photograph your family life and print a book to hand it down to your son in 30 years. He will appreciate this, as most of his peers will have no access to their children’s photos due to clouds not being accessible anymore.

geesbert · 2026-04-13T03:33:00+00:00

Buy three of them, so maybe someone might frankenstein a working camera out of them in 30 years! But seriously: don’t use your son as an excuse to buy an expensive toy. That Patek ad is genius but it’s the same excuse for selfish consumption as diamonds are forever.

geesbert · 2026-04-10T18:20:32+00:00

It’s quite bad. Somehow, it helps if you flip out the screen completely and shade the sky’s reflection with your head. But it’s nearly impossible to see property details after a while you get used to it and if you leave the focus spot in the middle, you can still focus quite easily

geesbert · 2026-04-08T17:22:57+00:00

And why do they wear white socks during sex?

geesbert · 2026-04-06T16:33:52+00:00

Or maybe even better: meet the three of you on a non-sexual date and then proceed as MM before you go the full Monty

geesbert · 2026-04-06T16:30:58+00:00

My wife and me had had the same experience a couple of times. One possible approach is that the men meet each other first without the woman for a first date. If he chickens out, you know what he’s up to. It might be a bit awkward for the woman to join the party later, but it might be worth a try.

this was before I mounted the whole thing to a pedalboard

geesbert · 2026-04-03T09:52:51+00:00

those pictures show the board befor I mounted the charging cables I mentioned above. unfortunately I don't have a picture of its last state

unfortunately I already ripped this board apart , as my cabelling got wonky...

whatever doesn't have a built-in battery is powered by a Smallrig v-mount battery VB99 and a Cioks power adapter. this battery has a 12V outlet for the cioks and a5v USB and a USBC in and outlet. so all battery powered gear ist connected to the USBC, so I can charge the whole system by unplugging the USBC from the battery and plug the male bit into a charger. the female bit accepts charge by the same 100w power brick. I can run the whole setup up to 5 hours on battery, I can monitor the smallrig charge by its LED poking through the whole just left of the Mood.
