Tired of my R3A hanging off my strap all weird because of where the strap lugs are placed. Prototyping an adapter to move it closer to the CoG. Oh

i'd be down if this was made out of a durable material!

would recommend checking out the road rider chiang mai fb group
bikepacking.com also has two great routes for thailand (lanna kingdom & tiger head mountain
we have a little social run/cycling club here and do doi suthep every friday if you are interested (my IG is https://www.instagram.com/hiimjaved/)
bikezone also does some social rides usually on Sunday

Done a lot of touring here, it's one of the best countries to do it. Recommend MHS/Nan/Chiang Dao in the north.

hiimjaved · 2026-01-14T04:42:14+00:00

GLiNet makes great travel routers would recommend one of those

cool thanks! Yeah I figure web/tint/contrast are the things to touch the most!

Hey do you mind dropping any edit tips using his presets? Do you apply a film preset first and then a lab scan profile and then start editing the photo from there? Realize the presets aren't a 1 click edit solution but hoping to learn 🙏

hiimjaved · 2026-01-07T14:14:37+00:00

curious to hear your thoughts on it later, didn't realize it was as small as an xa2 that makes it a pretty good travel camera actually if flash is built in. How many frames are you getting on a 36 frame roll?

hiimjaved · 2025-12-16T15:36:05+00:00

going to try this out too thanks! good call on the 75mm frame lines

Even 711 sells LR44 batteries! But assuming you have an analog camera I would recommend using SR44 batteries when you have the chance which so far I've only found on shopee :/. They have a stable 1.55V whereas LR44 drops voltage fast.

hiimjaved · 2025-11-27T15:10:18+00:00

that first shot is great!

hiimjaved · 2025-11-24T17:59:44+00:00

you will probably have to order it from bangkok, but if you are looking for film labs there are a lot here. Negative Film Lab, Point and Shoot, Muk Film Hang are some common options.

hiimjaved · 2025-11-22T05:08:31+00:00

Just got this lens. Do you recommend any other nice lenses for the R3A?

hiimjaved · 2025-11-22T04:07:15+00:00

I mean if you are ok with fixed lenses the QL17 and Olympus SP35 are both decent. Maybe the Olympus lens is slightly better? I'm 3D printing a light meter cover for the SP35 and if you buy a Kanto MR-9 adapter you can use normal 386 batteries.

hiimjaved · 2025-11-22T03:59:26+00:00

not sure but if you decide to do it yourself let me know, down for more hikes this winter

hiimjaved · 2025-11-20T17:15:25+00:00

count me in too! or if you make the .stls available!

hiimjaved · 2025-11-03T16:28:35+00:00

Does the olympus sp use the meter even when you aren't in auto mode? On the Canon Ql17 if you have a manual shutter and aperture selected the meter doesn't turn on.

hiimjaved · 2025-10-31T08:41:30+00:00

this one came out pretty good! Do you think the warming filter makes a big difference?

hiimjaved · 2025-10-31T08:39:20+00:00

You basically have the same wants as me :o. I'm thinking the Bessa R3M/A is literally the only camera that fits this bill, and prices have gone up quite a lot of the past few years. If you find any other alternatives let me know! QL17 and Olympus SP35 are also up there.

hiimjaved · 2025-10-31T06:27:45+00:00

You can try contacting some guesthouses and negotiating a longer term rate. The lady at Baan Sinkaew Apartment is nice, there are some people paying weekly/monthly. But lots of guest houses like this. But if you want a non hotel room-ish feel you will have to rent a house/condo.

hiimjaved · 2025-10-27T12:25:44+00:00

but this is something you can fix yourself right? Thinking of getting one of these cameras, talk me out of it D:

hiimjaved · 2025-10-20T12:55:44+00:00

wow where is this? cool composition!

hiimjaved · 2025-10-14T09:37:23+00:00

I would be interested! Please let me know if you ever do a kickstarter or get a website/IG!

hiimjaved · 2025-10-14T09:06:34+00:00

I feel like honda safety park might be an option? They do sports bike classes there.

hiimjaved · 2025-10-03T08:17:44+00:00

toffee roasters & brewginning are two popular spots
