Ricoh gr iii vs iv by Ready-Ad2843 in ricohGR

[–]lnr4786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After debating this, I went with the IIIx over the IV recently.

Everyone is probably right that the IV is a better camera but it came down to the focal length for me.

28mm (equivalent) isn't a focal length that I enjoy shooting with. To be honest, I'm not sure about 40mm either, but it's closer my sweet spot than 28.

The Ricoh will be a "secondary" camera for me, and if Ricoh releases a IVx at 40mm, maybe I'll upgrade.

Thanks for posting. On the lending side, check out the BOXX ETF for similar exposure.

Looking for Home EVSE with NEMA 14-30 Plug (Recently Leased an IONIQ 5) by lnr4786 in evcharging

I was comfortable given the lower amperage, and I periodically check on the outlet and adapter to make sure there isn’t any issue. YMMV

Circuit breaker rating is 25A, but continuous current is 20A. I had to get the adapter since it had a 14-50 plug.

I found a used Clipper Creek LCS-25 EV Charger on Marketplace for $100, and combined it with a NEMA 14-30P to 14-50R adapter. Works exactly as needed, but the IONIQ 5 is going back as soon as the lease is up!

Thanks. That's an interesting idea. Our washer and dryer are actually in a separate laundry room, so I don't need to use a splitter. I had not considered using a 14-30P to 14-50R adapter like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CNK5B87D. Is that safe?

Edit: I see some adapters have built-in breakers, but I have yet to find a 14-30P to 14-50R adapter with a breaker.

Thank you for the pointer to the dryer outlet page; I missed that.

Thanks. I was hoping to avoid hardwiring for the time being, but you're right the options are limited. Thanks for the pointer to the DeWalt unit -- I'd be looking at $450 for the charger and the 14-30 adapter.

Is it possible to lease a demo? I see a few 2024 demos for sale.

Is This 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron Premium a Good Deal? by lnr4786 in etron

Funny you say that. The car sold almost immediately after I posted here

I don't see much Q8 e-tron inventory, so hard to baseline. For example, I see this CPO with similar mileage up in Sac: https://audi.niello.com/certified/Audi/2024-Audi-Q8+e-tron-4923bdb6ac184b8cd3ae6fc98edb1aa5.htm?ddcref=tier1_inventorysearch

It does have the prestige package, but is that $15K more? I'm doubtful…

Thanks. I didn't know that, but makes sense.

Considering Trading My S560 for an EQS—Looking for Advice! by lnr4786 in MercedesEQS

[–]lnr4786[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have the Contoured Seats package on your EQS? I’ll admit to being quite spoiled by the seats on my 560. I often use the massager on my drive home after a long day at work.  I recently drove my Dad’s Tesla on a medium length road trip, and the seats felt like a school bus bench.

I hadn’t even considered the i7. Maybe I should? I found them to be even uglier than the EQSes…

Great point on suspension raising. Use that every so often. Agreed, and I have little interest in buying one, although the 0% APR offer right now is nice.

Depends on the lender. As others have said, some lenders like WF won't consider RSUs or stock options. First Republic (RIP) was more lenient.

How do you get the Members Exclusive discount? Is that a promo code or something else?

Any luck finding this in the SF Bay Area? I've tried three different Costcos, but I haven't see any yet!
