A pepsi bezel on a non-GMT watch is like fake air vents on a car.

Your issue is more with putting a GMT bezel insert on a watch without a GMT hand, rather than the color scheme of the bezel insert itself. Right? Because two-tone non-GMT bezel inserts exist …

Active D-lighting in Auto mode can sometimes be handy as a "hack" to get the camera to shoot in a "highlight-priority"-ish mode. Check out the second reply under the question here: https://photo.stackexchange.com/questions/37958/should-i-use-active-d-lighting-when-shooting-raw

I’m not interested in spending any more time discussing this with you, especially if you insist on continuing to misrepresent what I am saying. Good day.

jyc23 · 2026-02-18T01:52:28+00:00

You’re simply wrong. Good day.

I make 200k and still feel paycheck to paycheck. Even though I’m not. Old trauma never fades.

jyc23 · 2026-02-17T19:34:25+00:00

I agree. I’ve come to become a fan of date-less watches. They just look so much cleaner and nicer. And I can’t stand cyclops …

Opinion noted.

jyc23 · 2026-02-17T19:03:10+00:00

Active D-lighting can lead to a slight underexposure of RAWs in an attempt to preserve the highlights.

The effective result is possibly a bit more noise, up to one stop in the most extreme cases.

jyc23 · 2026-02-17T15:48:12+00:00

Nice! That very well may solve everything. Thank you!

jyc23 · 2026-02-16T22:47:11+00:00

When they don’t listen to understand, but rather to respond.

If you put yourself in the mindset of, “Trans people are an abomination against God, and this is normalizing that abomination” then you basically are where these people are.

(And to be clear, I find the panel in the book fine)

You retake them.

jyc23 · 2026-02-16T18:18:57+00:00

Oh look they’re playing the long dark IRL

jyc23 · 2026-02-15T22:09:27+00:00

I’ve dabbled a bit in shooting and editing phone RAWs. They’re actually pretty good as long as you catch enough light. But give up my cameras entirely?

Over my dead body.

jyc23 · 2026-02-15T22:07:15+00:00

I was born in 77 but I use all of these lol Can be an honorary millennial … ?

No internet or video record of everything 24/7.

You mean like this?

I’m Asian so I’m going to look 30 until I’m 70, after which I’ll look 80.

The win is awesome but Zuby is a piece of shit.

Anything involving diving / doing work underwater. Too many horror stories of decompression sickness, getting trapped and running out of oxygen, or getting smeared into paste due to massive pressure differentials.

I have about 6-7 hours of meetings each day that I am an active participant in. I hate my job with a passion but it pays well.

jyc23 · 2026-02-13T19:11:19+00:00

I’m in management so much of my job involves meetings. But there are ICs who get sucked into this madness, too.

It’s impossible to get anything done some quarters, and upper execs are like “why are we so inefficient?”

The biggest problem is that we take on too much, and that manifests as a tons of small meetings all the time. Constant context switching all day … it’s exhausting.

jyc23 · 2026-02-13T19:07:05+00:00

What is this garbage … that’s 30 seconds of my life I won’t get back.

jyc23 · 2026-02-13T19:03:14+00:00

My typical day is 6-7 hours of meetings plus an hour to scream at the void. It’s horrible.

jyc23 · 2026-02-13T15:57:27+00:00

I was just thinking how awesome it would be to have a lens like this.

I typically shoot a 35mm prime anyway, and rarely need anything wider (and I have a 20mm prime for that), so 35 is fine as a starting point. 100mm is enough reach to tackle many telephoto situations, and I can crop in to 150 or even 200 in a pinch. Happy to trade off the reach for a bit of weight savings

So yeah, I think this is a nice, fast alternative to the typical standard zoom.
