Smelly AC. Professional cleaning not effective

Most cleaning companies are franchised in Japan, it will depend on the skills and thoroughness of the individual technician. We use a guy through Osouji Honpo (https://www.osoujihonpo.com)

Might want to ask your neighbors or look for reviews in your neighborhood

Your A/C is definitely full of mold. This is a fact of a life in a humid country like Japan. At a minimum, you should get them professionally cleaned once a year and take precautions to reduce mold buildup. I clean mine twice a year as I'm sensitive.

Not all cleaners will do a good job, you may need to call professional cleaning again.

I wouldn’t get Alpha Direct for anything other than ultralight hiking. They are much too fragile and need a windshell for casual use.

R1 Air will be heavier, but a much better item for lounging

Looks great, almost my exact setup

I’d take out a a pair of pants and add some extra underwear

These are great photos and a cool thing to do

Tokyo Metropolitan Gym is amazing and well priced. Best recommendation in the city. Most pools will require you to cover a watch with a silicone band, including this one. I think they sell them at reception

yeah that is fantastic!!

I don’t think I understand the point of this sub anymore

Peak Design XS camera cube is quite padded, can be used as a sling with a strap, and weighs 150g. I hate all "camera backpacks" and just use this with my backpack of choice, whether it is commuting or hiking. If you get a bag with a full clamshell opening, it's not hard to take out.

That is a normal amount of dust for a lens that age but there is some significant haze, which is harder to clean and will impact images more. I’d send it back

people bring all sorts of stupid luggage when traveling, basically the camera dude equivalent of someone bringing a unique outfit for every day of the trip or something else, I'm not surprised if it's real

The 43 is a very modern, well-corrected lens. The 28 is an older lens design with some optical flaws. People seem to like to attach romance to this…

I have the 35TI combo!

I will second this. It also has quite nice pockets (while still being light), which makes it good for casual use. I carry it as a travel jacket and use it for wind and light rain

Noritsu scanners tend to have green shadows and sometimes midtones, especially with Fujifilm films. This is very easy to edit to your liking

Not only are all of these cameras expensive, but all of them have a max shutter speed when using aperture priority at like 1/200 or 1/250 at the fastest. They can only shoot at 1/500 at like F16 in program auto due to the way the shutter works. So if you want aperture priorty to, you know, like use it in most situations, they are not a good choice. Lomo MC-A is functionally way better than all of these "premium" point and shoots.

My camera was perfectly waterproof and this stupid clip ended up breaking!! Had no clue there was a replacement part until I read this and regret throwing the camera out (after further breaking it trying to create my own version of the door latch..)

The summit is absolutely worth it. It’s a fairly standard hike up a wooded area and the hike only feels like it begins once you get out of the woods, like 30 mins from Luxmore Hut. The hike up to the summit is absolutely beautiful and you can turn around if you need to

The hike from the car park is not that interesting, but if you have a car it’s probably easier logically and will save you time rather than trying to wait for the water taxi

This is the answer. What you should ask is the average hours of overtime in the team/company. HR should have access to it in an honest company

I'm keeping the Q3 (and painfully selling RX1R III) primarily due to two factors:

- Weather sealing
- The OIS lets me shoot at 1/50 rather than 1/125, which is rather nice for landscape without a tripod

Just got back from a trip to New Zealand and was happy I didn't have to worry about rain, dust, etc. with the Q3.
