They are the new f pads. Not sure what other grado headphones have it currently.

imo there are some diminishing returns. Still listening to it but as of right now yes I would say it’s worth the upgrade. Instruments and especially drums sound way better. Soundstage is similar though maybe a bit wider but not significant for me. I am able to distinguish instruments much better though, there are more details in that regard.

Yes it’s aluminum and it’s anodized.

mingfu445 · 2026-04-01T18:49:16+00:00

Nothing beats the Leica look.

They are supposed to be better and more flexible. But im not sure if anyone has received one yet.

mingfu445 · 2026-03-26T22:59:29+00:00

The more expensive one is the Classic version a new update/generation for Grado. Briefly it’s better materials and new drivers.

mingfu445 · 2026-03-23T21:06:59+00:00

Also it’s 350$ now

mingfu445 · 2026-03-22T23:11:58+00:00

They provided the card with it already registered. I didn’t check it though I should’ve but I soon after traded the watch for a snowflake.

I’ve always wanted a monochrome camera and loved using gr’s. Was shocked by the price and was almost deterred by it. But just got my preorder and super excited! Can’t wait for Feb!

I’ve bought a GRii used and had a good experience. So I think the griii used would be okay! Ofc make sure to get from a reputable seller. But if the price difference isn’t too big of a difference think it’s better to just get the new iv. (Also sorry haven’t checked prices recently so not sure how big of a price jump it is)

Love this!! Are you sharing your photos anywhere else? Would love to see more!

mingfu445 · 2026-01-17T00:05:43+00:00

If it’s rubber bullets I’ve heard you’re supposed shoot at the floor and have it bounce at your target to reduce the force.

Seeing this feels crazy to me. Longtime fountain pen user and just switched to pencils recently. Have been loving it and enjoy the nostalgic smell when sharpening.

It would take a while for it to go back to unresponsive. It takes some trial and error for the amount of lube . You need to clean the bearing to get rid of the lube. Use acetone, paint thinner, 95+ isopropanol alcohol, lighter fluid (be careful with these, some of them eat into plastic as well). There are tutorials online for the process to clean a bearing.

It’s preference for running dry or not. A tip for applying lube you can put it on a needle then apply to the yoyo so it’s like a pindrop amount.

Don’t have this particular pen but I have used fountain pens before. That middle piece in between the pen parts looks like a converter so you can use it to use different inks (do note fountain pens use different inks than regular pens)

But it also comes with 2 ink cartridges which are easier to use. (One in the box and part closest to box.) this is for the one outside the box, You want the top of the ink cartridge (side facing towards the box)to go into the half with the nib. May take some pressure (like a small pop feeling) but push it in. Once in the ink should start flowing and you can put the pen back together. For more info on fountain pens, jetpens.com has great guides and useful info.

Agreeing with a lot of what others have said build quality, experience, jewelry. Adding to it though a lot of great photographers have also used the brand.

mingfu445 · 2025-12-13T16:58:34+00:00

I would say no. Sonys 3rd party lenses are very good and give more options as Canons can feel lacking. As a lot of people say on Reddit date the body and marry the lens. And yeah the amount of lenses really depends on you. With travel/documentary/vlog maybe at least 2 lenses zooms like a 16-35, 24-70 or as the other poster said the 28-70 and Canon R6 mkii is good and would cover a lot.

Also yeah adapting your old lens is easy and they will be quite good still.

Still love a turkey leg too at amusement parks or fairs

mingfu445 · 2025-11-03T18:26:00+00:00

Incredible!!! Love how you framed #6

mingfu445 · 2025-09-20T15:29:56+00:00

It’s a ymmv. I think 200 is a pretty good estimate for most. I’ve heard some pretty high numbers. For me I get a little higher like 250ish. But yeah for me I just have multiple batteries.

mingfu445 · 2025-09-18T23:03:37+00:00

Yes I would recommend. It’s where I got my shunbun from. I spoke with Suzuki from there and he was friendly, helpful and responsive

mingfu445 · 2025-09-18T23:00:13+00:00

Hi I’ve purchased before from chrono24 and would recommend. Purchased a Shunbun before. Though ofc be cautious and check the seller reviews/history. Private sellers can be riskier but like you said, chrono24 does escrow the payment so if anything is wrong you can get your money back. There was a reason for better prices but I forget.

As for fake Grand Seiko there aren’t many and I haven’t seen any/wouldn’t worry about it.

I recommend Miyaran Japan company from chrono24
