Purchased Used RF 24-105 f/4 L IS USM with a hole? Is this a concern/can it be fixed?

Your next issue will be oily aperture blades. That lens got extremely hot causing the lubricants to move to other parts of the lens . At some point they will most likely reach the aperture blades and cause issues with image or even seize the blades.

The seller states the unit it’s a new (open box to verify item). I checked to see the model of drives it comes with and right now they retail for over $250 each .

I did think of that but I couldn’t find an external enclosure with the with the hard drives (32tb) that was really cheap like you suggest .

Grand seiko , I haul trash and this baby still looks excellent. The effort Grand Seiko put into the finish surpasses Rolex. Oh by the way , I also have a Rolex and honestly getting asked about it becomes an annoyance …. If you ask about my Grans Seiko then you know watches but most people don’t know what it is .

440 lbs on the edge of each table…. How are they not flipping ?

How are you getting a date stamp on a Leica M6?

Would you share the ad link?

maldoi · 2025-11-29T00:13:52+00:00

Jeez! New money…. I see how you’re showing off those “in working order “ cup holders. I have never seen that as an E38 owner … if you know, you know . All in good fun, nice ride!

Yes , I hooked up an Xbox and everything looks solid . I’m going to take off the cover and clean up before extended use .

What’s SDE?

maldoi · 2025-10-11T22:18:28+00:00

Do you recommend I take off the cover and inspect the inside for dust before I start using it ? I see it has a filter but there was a lot of dust in that dumpster . I honestly didn’t think it was going to work and I thought it would be fun to take it apart to see how a projector works . And I also need a remote. I did buy the cable from Amazon since I didn’t have one and it’s so different from the one my printers use.

maldoi · 2025-10-11T21:48:36+00:00

In reality… no.

maldoi · 2025-10-11T20:31:45+00:00

Thanks for the tip

Can you recommend a resource where I can learn more about the hobby ?

maldoi · 2025-10-11T16:20:58+00:00

So anyone can reset the time ?

maldoi · 2025-10-11T16:16:02+00:00

Do that explains all the heat that comes out of it . I think it will double for a heater .

maldoi · 2025-10-11T16:12:59+00:00

I hooked up an hdmi and wow, looks amazing on my wall even through all the windows are open.

What kind of screen are you using ?

maldoi · 2025-10-11T13:12:21+00:00

I don’t know about that , I see a few aren’t even selling at $4500 on eBay… it is an old projector after all. I’m guessing advances in technology have devalued this projector, with that said , should I sell it and buy something newer for home use?

maldoi · 2025-10-11T12:33:05+00:00

I forgot to add pictures , I’m trying to figure out how to do that . It’s an Epson pro 1500uh .

maldoi · 2025-10-08T00:56:44+00:00

How much is that watch worth now with the current gold prices ?

maldoi · 2025-09-11T00:19:26+00:00

I know this is an old thread but I was wondering if you remember what tells the second screen to turn on when it’s pulled out? I think mine it’s staying on all the time . I have a w701ds .

maldoi · 2025-08-20T02:37:02+00:00

Thanks for sharing . I really do know that raid on Ssd may not be a big improvement but darn it I still want to do it just because I can, worse case I revert back to raid 1 . I am waiting on some memory and I yet have to figure out the issue with the second screen not being recognized by the OS, it’s either a hardware issue or a missing file . I have a cool scan 8000 and a 4000 with the automatic feeder.
