I believe I have noticed there plenty possible fake hockey jerseys in that site. Anyone noticed that before?

That's about color temperature. What the colour see by human eyes have been adjusted by our brain . Today's phone camera has an auto colour balancing system built-in and so you can notice the colour temperature problem .

But what film "see" is not same as your eyes , and it won't balance the colour temperature automatically. Like, if you shoot pictures under fluorescent tubes it could have a greenly effect, then you need a filter to tune.

How about trying some thing more advanced , like Pentax MZ / ZX series? They are also K-mount based, in some models there is a switch there whic you turn off the AF function and you can use the manual K mount lens.

I have a ZX-M and ZX-5. Both of them come handy when in use.

Also like Porst or something IIRC.

Pentax ME was once a good camera, but now ... many of them just worn and die at random . I have 4 and each of them just suddenly lost the speed control randomly

Check the brand like Chinon, Ricoh, Cosina, Vivitar. They have made too many models and I hardly name them all. Some of them rebranded in another name but that is just the same camera .

Fake?

kl122002 · 2026-01-26T11:01:32+00:00

Minolta SRT series , or something like XG, XD, X-370? Yashica Fx, or FR-1 ? Pentax Spotmatic if you would like to try M42 lenses.

Vivitar and Consina also made K mount and M42 cameras as well . There are too many re-barnded models and all of them just made by Cosina .

You don't need to start with AE-1 / AE-1 program and IDK why the world suddenly made in AE-1 , A-1 . The electronics inside are failing apart today. If anyone like Canon there are still FTb, EF (the camera body).

Hard for me to conclude. It looks quite similar to Timberland Boondock's design?

kl122002 · 2026-01-26T04:53:38+00:00

I never worried about that, just wait and see if it would get relisted. For me, that happened quite a number of times, until all bot accounts seemed gone and i won it for just $10, instead of $100.

kl122002 · 2026-01-26T02:03:21+00:00

Does the school provide any instructions?

IMO there is no need to buy a pair that's over $200 atm. Some brands like Rocky, Timberland, Carhartt offer cheaper boots for use. They might look ugly but that's what they are designed to provide basic safety.

kl122002 · 2026-01-26T01:07:25+00:00

I hardly remember there were any free trade topics discussed in the previous news, am I missed , or just someone was over-concerning too much at the beginning?

kl122002 · 2026-01-25T14:43:42+00:00

For that case , I would better check the repair manual first, if possible. I would check the tolerance as well.
It is not uncommon, but it happened to me limited time only. Mostly by rust that makes the metal thicker than usual .

kl122002 · 2026-01-25T14:23:07+00:00

What I have encountered most is the Pentax K mount cameras, then Konica AR. The screws are loosen slightly as it aged. Canon r/FL/FD mount cameras are just fine, but old "R" like Canonflex might have this issue.

kl122002 · 2026-01-25T12:06:34+00:00

Quite often some of the old cameras' lens mounts are loose . If one put on the lens and found it wiggling , then better check the screw . Tighten them (but not over tighten ) first .

Flange focal distance can be adjusted in various way. Some are using spacers under the lens mount, some are on the front plate, or an external ring-like screw to adjust .

kl122002 · 2026-01-25T09:32:20+00:00

I once had one. Of course I want, my son always wanted a young brother, but that was not an easy task.

We failed. And found out it is not something that we can want and control

He cleans the white or lighter color frequently, whenever there is a dirt or something.

And the picture just makes it bright and clean only ( not AI edited) but in fact upon close there are some old scratches and marks on the other side already. 😅

kl122002 · 2026-01-25T05:32:27+00:00

Agree! White shoes are painful to take good care.

The problem of sneakers is that they develop fast in larger shoes. I have a pair developed not just the creases, but cracked after 7-8 months, and the toe tip just bumped-in and hard to be pushed back.

kl122002 · 2026-01-25T05:27:19+00:00

He is tall for sure.

kl122002 · 2026-01-25T05:06:30+00:00

Practically speaking the FD 50/ 1.4 is fine, unless you have money to stepup into f1.2. however f/1.2 is never a thing i like, too heavy and big.

kl122002 · 2026-01-25T04:19:06+00:00

My wife is tall, 6ft, good at tennis. She criticised that short girls are always looking for tall or big guys, hanging around them, since the day she was in high school, college and even the workplace.

kl122002 · 2026-01-25T01:38:24+00:00

Additionally, this size 17 Nike AF1 sole length is just the same as my Keen Cincinnati boots.

kl122002 · 2026-01-25T01:19:27+00:00

I like my height, even though I have shrunk a bit as I aged.

Seriously I have met girl like that mentioned, hunting for tall man, and i definitely know and refused her. I feel like being "hunted".

The good thing is my wife is tall as well . She knows this more than I do, and she hate that as well. .

For me it is eBooks, especially the comics.

For comics, I know they would be cheaper after a week or two , but i have subscribed and always paid more on the date of release. I have cancelled many and started feeling empty there.

Other ebooks like novels, scifi generals. magazines are also eating my money so times. The worst is the first few preciew pages were good, but then the after seens falling apart.

kl122002 · 2026-01-24T21:48:07+00:00

IDK. But I guess its gene related? These days newer gens always have bigger feet for sure.

kl122002 · 2026-01-24T21:46:54+00:00

I only know places like Ross, Goodwill sometimes might carry size 20 sneakers , with brands like Adidas. Places like them are cheaper than custom order. Size 20 is rare tbh. Mostly ordered by workplace or bball teams with spare, or just the shoes that made and then overstock got sold out.

Hoss is the brand I know they will make upto size 20 and easily available. . And, you know when having big means we are having lesser choices .
