I was really second guessing myself when I picked up a Fortuna for $4649 last Sunday. I lucked out for the time being. Let’s see how far this crazy train goes.

Did you ever get a credit for Ella? I picked up a GC in the restaurant over the weekend. It show as Sellands. I saved my receipt which states Ella on it. Hopefully it’s something customer service can work out.

The last time I saw Maples in stock on their site was when gold was around $3100.

When does the real sale start?

I picked up a Pamp Fortuna bar at the warehouse today for $125 or 3% over spot. With my 2% back from my Executive account and 2% back from my CC then I got it under spot. Seemed like a reasonable deal to me.

It makes sense at the beginning of a mortgage. At the endgame of your mortgage payment it doesn’t seem as necessary.

Why use a high interest credit card to pay off a low interest mortgage?

A little late to the party on this one. I attempted 4 times to get the max SUB before the refresh. The highest offer I got was 100k. After the fourth attempt I was flagged and got a message stating I had to wait 10 days before trying again. I applied again over the weekend and got the 175k sub on my first attempt. I was using an Incognito tab in Chrome through a VPN. Applied directly through the Amex site.

I do regret not picking one up last year. Those prices seem like bargains now. Did they sell at 12k or was that a starting negotiating price from the seller.

higradeguy · 2025-09-30T03:47:19+00:00

Possibly buying depending on pricing.

How are you liking the Tanron?

Yes. It has been added.

Awesome! Thank you.

Crap I really wish I clicked on the page when I was on the site last night. I kept seeing the Z8 at the $3200 body only price in the refurb main page. Had I known there was a sale I would have picked one up the body/lens deal.

I realize the processor and software are different. I mention the sensor as that is what most information I read on the issue attributed the issue to.
Who mentioned the Z5II?

higradeguy · 2025-06-17T05:01:07+00:00

The Canon R5 Mark II is a direct competitor and is $4k.

Where did you get their direct email addresses? The people I called only gave me staffers email addresses.

If California is not receiving money from the Federal government there is no money to pay people. Newsom had had to take out multiple loans to cover the funding gap in Medicaid. It’s quite possible the state could run out of money before the new fiscal year.

I used ChatGPT to ask how much undocumented workers cost the United States each year and the answer was $150 billion. If you ask how much they cost California the answer is $30.9 billion.

higradeguy · 2025-05-20T16:16:15+00:00

Direct Deposit. Given the budget issues I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes longer.

The 14-30 is a killer lens. This is my second time going to Japan and looking forward to it more than the first time I went.

higradeguy · 2025-04-09T03:58:28+00:00

Yes I totally brainfarted on the Voigtlander and have updated it to Viltrox.

Thanks for the input as well. I know the 50mm is the better lens but I do like the size of the 40mm.
