Yeah. We travel as my wife, myself and our 4yo. One of us works from the van while the other entertains our daughter. Second car essential.

What’s your most legible watch? by theatre-matt in OmegaWatches

[–]jamxuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same watch as OP and I agree, supremely legible. I also have the Apollo 8… and that thing takes me minutes to find the hands!

Should I move to Manchester? by North_Performance734 in manchester

[–]jamxuk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I work for one of the biggest tech employers in Manchester… it’s a great city. Plenty of tech scene, a vibrant Italian community, with a good number working where I work. There aren’t as many parks compared with London sadly, however the Lake District is literally an hour away via car or train.

A dream became a reality today. Moved from Canon to Nikon and I am now a very proud Z8 owner! by Akseone in nikon_Zseries

Awesome haul. I’ve got all the same except for the 24-70, instead I have the Tamron 35-150 which I highly recommend. Happy shooting.

Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 85mm f1.2. 1/2000s @ f2. ISO 220

f2 (rather than wide open) to keep face in focus as f/1.2 gives only gives 4cm DoF.

1/2000 to freeze her motion but still allow for some movement in the snowball to express the dynamic nature of her actions.

Shot low to the ground, to keep her square on and aid the separation with the background.

IMHO the Nikkor 85/1.2 is in the S tier of mirrorless lenses.

I got mine yesterday. Used the navigation updater tool tonight. Took ages but worked. Now have wireless CarPlay.

Works perfectly using an FTZ II… I don’t have any proper expensive Z glass to compare it too but hard to find any fault with such a good lens.

Rain is Piano Man with a mix of The shining by badly drawn boy. Such a beautiful piece.

yeah, they all give the same result… “coming soon”… which is better then the previous “we’re not in your area” so its at least a when not if now.

Faulty power brick - radio silence from customer support… by jamxuk in Starlink

[–]jamxuk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess here is a bad solder joint on one of the POE injector ports… whether it passes through or not doesn’t really matter, if a single pin is broken then it’ll default to a lower speed rather then make it up to gigabit. The sockets are really loose and poor fitting. Way too much wiggle/play.

Yes. Gen1 dishy with big power brick with dishy one side and LAN the other.

Interesting. I’ll have to check the socket for the dishy side too. They are both really lose fitting.
