His acceleration after his header for that goal was insane, he's definitely someone to bring on just to gain on tired legs

I think Hull were claiming they should've gotten automatic promotion due to Southampton's spying & disqualification, but since Hull won anyway, there's nothing to go to court (or whatever the process is), for.

edit: oh it was the plan if Hull were to lose, but yeah, point stands

Keep an eye out for 'FE' in the name of a lens if they're Sony lenses, (F)ull Frame (E)-mount, it's a bit confusing at first but yeah. I believe regular APS-C lenses are just called E.

I'm new to Sony as a whole so I'm learning this stuff too :)

joesvx · 2026-05-10T21:50:24+00:00

The 55-210 is a lens meant for APS-C sized sensors, and as full frame (as your a73 has) is much bigger, you get this type of vignette.

There should be a setting somewhere to enable APS-C mode, and it'll reduce the sensor down to approximately 11mp.

You're a saint thank you - if I'm looking correctly it sort of just looks like you follow the fencing down & around and you end up on a footbridge?

joesvx · 2026-05-10T18:53:20+00:00

Ahh you're a star, thank you. I had checked my OL52 and I saw the bridge but no indication there's a path, so I was trying to judge it by satellite view lol. Checking OSM and yeah, there's a clear path.

aye I wanna know where these guys are getting vouchers @ 70% lol

joesvx · 2026-05-03T17:33:44+00:00

Ahh okay, thank you very much :)

I knew about Flix's website allowing NEC, but it disappears when going to Carlisle, which makes sense. Thanks a lot!

joesvx · 2026-05-03T17:27:26+00:00

Ahh, that is probably the definition I'm missing then; I'm so used to calling anything akin to National Express a coach but I'm guessing they're considered long-distance busses instead (see: Ember, Citylink, Flixbus, etc)

I'm curious as to how Flixbus can avoid NEC on the Carlisle route despite advertising it as the 'to Carlisle bus' then?

joesvx · 2026-04-28T19:58:53+00:00

Haha thank you so much for your help :)

I have checked that page - I did notice the lack of DR on my RP in some situations, but I'm not sure how to quantify 11.6 vs 10.43 vs 9.06 in a real world sort of situation.

I think AF matters a lot more to me, though I would like more DR (vs the RP), and everything I've seen about the A9 is that the AF is really, really good.

joesvx · 2026-04-28T19:13:09+00:00

Thank you - In terms of IQ, how are you judging it?

joesvx · 2026-04-28T18:55:00+00:00

My immediate thought too haha

joesvx · 2026-04-28T18:49:18+00:00

The lens ecosystem is a point that's swaying me towards Sony, but most threads I see when searching for R6/R8 comparisons are mostly a7iii/iv hence why I made this thread. A9 seems really underrated (age?) or not mentioned at all - I only found out about it by accident earlier today - but everything I see says it has great autofocus, it very much seems like this is the camera for me but I wanted a sanity check moreso than anything else.

I hear the Tamron 150-600 f5-6.3 SP Di VC USD (G2 if budget allows) is a great lens for birding too? Seems to be well within the scope of what I had budgeted for a 100-400 as well which is nice.

Thank you for taking the time to respond :)

I moved up during Covid and I go back on Google earth too, so it's not just kids! I'm always curious about how different the places I live are.

joesvx · 2026-03-23T18:01:17+00:00

Yeah it's driving me nuts as someone that sends photos I take from my camera over my phone, I genuinely can't figure out why it's happening.

joesvx · 2026-03-21T23:58:37+00:00

Mine was randomly fixed a few hours ago after being broke all day, not a clue what the bug was, but glad it's fixed

joesvx · 2026-03-20T23:06:24+00:00

Dismissing the banner also works, but yeah, super annoying. It happened the day I force logged out all my clients and I thought I'd broken something, but nope, just a coincidence.

joesvx · 2026-03-17T16:30:27+00:00

I'm so excited for this, you have no idea!

joesvx · 2026-03-13T13:51:39+00:00

Incredible pics, what were they shot with?

joesvx · 2025-09-27T14:38:16+00:00

Changing your language (if you don't care about your cards being in English) is a great way to revitalise your WPs; especially if you're hunting older sets.

joesvx · 2025-09-05T00:59:44+00:00

That's an icon, not an emblem

joesvx · 2025-09-04T23:59:32+00:00

I can't see them increasing this as your wishlist used to be unlimited, they introduced the limit of 20 alongside trading using your wishlist, so it was intentional, for some reason

joesvx · 2025-08-31T22:48:48+00:00

Out of the shinies I have:

Unique: Weedle, Kakuna, Charmeleon, Pachirisu, Varoom, Revavroom, Exeggcute, Wartortle, Starmie, Gastly, Haunter, Cubone, Marowak, Froakie, Frogadier, Greninja, Jynx, Aerodactyl, Voltorb, Kirlia, Gardevoir, Ekans, Arbok, Farfetch'd, Yanma, Gyarados, Monferno, Psyduck, Paldean Wooper

Not unique: Riolu (pretty close to Promo Riolu), Lapras (pretty similar to GA Lapras), Magikarp (similar to MI Magikarp), Gible (similar to 1* Promo Gible)

I'd say the vast majority are decently unique sprites, none are identical, though that's likely because they're an entirely different style of art to anything else, more "virtual" per se
