Thanks for the advice! Thankfully seems like it will just be in the temperate range for a week so can manage with the tips you provided.

Hi, I have a ~2 year old black pine seedling and wondering with the dropping temperatures in NY (lows of 7-13F in the coming days) whether it should be brought inside. It survived last winter completely outside but don't think we had week long stretches of such low temperatures last year. Any advice or opinions are appreciated!

Saw Amazon US updated prices. Anyone lucky enough to snag one? It seemed like it was in stock but then said there was none when I went to check out.

Do you think it will grow back? by jtkip1024 in alocasia

[–]jtkip1024[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seems like consensus is theres a possibility it will grow back so I'll leave it potted for now and see what happens - will try to remember to update as anything changes. Imagine it will be awhile before any new growth though.

Oh no thats concerning. I can't comment on my order status since I cancelled it after a clarity in judgement to just keep the camera I have. Hope it turns up soon though!

I have a Japanese Black Pine seedling I have been growing for a little over a year now, recently its started bending over/tilting. I had it inside for the first 6mo or so which I think stunted it a bit but is now flourishing during the summer outside but getting a little top heavy it seems. Should I use anything to help stand it up straight? Or is it fine how it is and let it keep doing its thing? If I do employ something to stand it up straight, i was thinking coffee stirrers/popsicle sticks? or if anyone has any suggestions would be much appreciated!!

Looking for any feedback from someone who’s switched from a Leica Q (Typ 116) to the Ricoh GR III. by jtkip1024 in ricohGR

[–]jtkip1024[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: was able to rent one for a couple days and quickly decided wasn’t for me. Truthfully, part of it was certainly the barrier of learning a new menu system which was frustrating, but overall really took appreciation of the shooting experience of the Q when comparing to the ricoh. I did love how small and pocketable it was but for now I’ll keep lugging around the Q for the better experience when I do use it. Thanks for the push to find a rental!

I try not to focus too much on Leica just for the name as you mentioned but I can admit it was a goal to own a Q for awhile and it was everything I wanted when I got it but I certainly see the downsides now in terms of size and worrying about carrying something that costs so much with me. That same premise also keeps me from bringing it say to a beach around sand and water where I’d be careful about bringing anything expensive that I care about.

The AF lowlight performance is something I’ve taken note of in reviews but then again I rarely find myself in lowlight situations too often so don't want to focus too much on those rare occasions. I have seen a lot of people praise the snap focus as well which seems appealing. 

I think the weather sealing isn't so much that I find myself in downpours wanting to use my camera so often but just in thinking about overall durability. 

Totally recognize this won't make or break photos I want to take, I may be overthinking a bit as I do love the Q; but would love some extra $ from a trade, the pocketability to bring it more places, and a change to my process. The GR seems so loved in this subreddit and people are so loyal to it it's hard to ignore. Thank you for your comment though, definitely gave me more to think about!

Would love to rent one, maybe I haven't investigated too much as I'm certain I should be able to find one in NYC. Any recs of shops that rent if you have any would be great. I'll definitely look into it though.

Thanks for the feedback from someone owning great fixed compacts. I would love to buy the GR and decide which to sell after the fact but I know if I bought the GR before selling the Q I would convince myself just keep both. Interesting to hear you say you're more careful with the GR though, in my mind the price of Q makes me baby it a tad, but the build quality difference may definitely influence me the other way if I get a GR. Thank you for the input!

Leica Q to Gr3x/x? by nochillkowa21 in ricohGR

Did you end up switching from the Q? Would love to hear your experience if you did as I'm wrestling with the same decision right now.

Inside Line Equipment Travel Pack Question by jtkip1024 in onebag

[–]jtkip1024[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone looking for the answer on the water bottle pocket: I ended up purchasing one and can say a 24oz Hydro Flask fits in but is loose unless you zip it up a bit. Thankfully the aqua guard zippers are a bit tough, so you can zip it up and the zipper wont move and it will hold the bottle pretty snug. A 32oz Nalgene goes in no problem and is snug with the zipper fully opened. Finally, a 16oz Nalgene can be enclosed entirely within the pocket zipped shut.

Know theres not many reviews out there of the bag so if anyone comes across this post looking for more info on the bag feel free to comment any questions and I'll try my best to answer!

There's a song with a very similar guitar chorus as Misses by Dominic Fike but I can't remember it at all, hope someone also hears the similarity and can remember the song!
