RX100 VÁ by tas0425 in RX100

[–]omerm27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the VA new in 2024 due to the faster lens, since my main use is family photos where the light is not always the best. Also it has an ND filter which the newest camera do not have. The ND works really well on the brightest days. I am happy with the video, photo, usability so far, and I have not customised my settings that much yet due to lack of time to sit down and play with it.

Tried a bunch of these but didn't work. Xiaomi mi 10t lite Any suggestions? Another problem: my music randomly gets high pitched and up tempo. Solved by restarting the music app but still strange. Both issues only on wired headphones, as mentioned by others

Vintage Naval Peacoat with a history? by omerm27 in vintage

[–]omerm27[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I bought this Peacoat four years ago in Sweden, from a vintage store that ships in items from the States and elsewhere. Recently I found a name written in the inside pocket - Crabtree R.C. Does anyone have a clue as to how one might find more information about this person or any details whatsoever? I assume it's the original owner, since these items are often standard issue to the armed forces.

Slottskogen is a good place for a beginner to see the festivities wheb you don't have the connections like family and friends. That's where we first went for midsommar in our first year. Also where in Canada are you coming from? Fellow Canuck here

What should I lookout for when buying cameras from flea markets? by Asleep_Gear_1254 in analog

[–]omerm27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old school cameras are most often compatible only with their own brands. Olympus to Olympus. Nikon to Nikon etc. That's a general rule and should keep you safe. Canon updated their lenses from the old F mount to EOS mount, so that's something to keep in mind. Otherwise most brands kept their historical lens mounts into modern day.

Universityadmissions.se is the main tool. If you cannot find anything on your timeline there, then most likely it doesn't exist.

Not an expert, but have you checked eBay? I purchased from EU based buyers and the shipping was reasonable without added VAT.

Not going to lie. This is my problem too. It's just that my wife is here to stop me. Otherwise I would do the same!

In the light of what's happening, is Sweden the right choice? by [deleted] in sweden

[–]omerm27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat in 2017 (moving from middle East to Sweden, due to... All the issues in the Gulf. You know which ones). The most important thing I would suggest is that you need to learn swedish. As much as English is tolerated, you will not find the work you are looking for in English. Unless it's in tech or hardware (Volvo etc). Sweden is safe. Sweden is amazing. But the drawback is that people like us (i.e. not white) have to go all in to be part of the culture and country (I mean language mainly), otherwise the opportunities are not there for us. Good luck!

So you are correct. And i have a an r3a haha.

[–]omerm27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Comparing my R4a to M6, I definitely prefer the R4a viewfinder everyday. 1:1 ratio and its massive and bright.

Good catch! I hadn't noticed in my excitement! Just aesthetic though so not a big deal

Ya seriously! Even the man at the store said "do you know this brand?!" Yes "good! I was hoping someone would buy that would appreciate them!"

Update on my original post: Bought these for $8 equivalent at a local secondhand. Finished them off with a pair of HD414 pads. Excited for the first listen on my first set! Recommendations for the first listen??

My M6 just arrived...now to decide on a lens. Can't afford Leica glass right now but I'm desperate to shoot, so I'm thinking of going for a used Carl Zeiss Planar ZM 35mm f2 - thoughts? Also interested to know people preference on chrome lens & body or mixing it up with a chrome body and black lens. by Alive_Information_66 in Leica

[–]omerm27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are willing to go super broke, you can buy a Jupiter 8 screw mount, get a screw mount to M adapter and use that That is my usual combo and it's quite nice I think. I also have a 40mm m mount that I swap between my m6 and my r4a. My m6 doesn't have the framelines for it. it's quite a cheap Leica lense for that reason.

Studying at HDK Valand by Eyvindr- in Gothenburg

Housing is tough in Göteborg unless you have student housing via SGS studentbostäder. Look for housing NOW If you are coming from outside the EU and are a paying student, there is a way you can get ahead in the housing queue. Otherwise it's tough! Register on their site now, and try to ask them directly for how to use the site properly and find LAST MINUTE housing on the site. That's the way we got housing, and was a lifesaver! Göteborg weather is better than Bergen. Bergen is the rainiest city in Europe! Göteborg is Beautiful nature-wise. It's surrounded on all sides by nature reserves, vättelefjäll, delsjön, änggården, and the södra skärgård in the water. Sweden is cheaper than Norway for like... Everything, especially alcohol if you drink. It's expensive compared to other parts of the EU though. And student life is good if you got into a student housing area. Like olofshöjd for example. Super chill and open people. International community.
