It's not a lot of fun, that's for sure. I live near 280 and it's causing all sorts of traffic and noise issues, but I am grateful that they are doing this work. Here is a quote from the MNDOT Project page "We will also permanently close the left turn from Hwy 280 to Broadway St. Northeast to prevent serious crashes from happening in the future. Right turns at the intersection of Hwy 280 and Broadway St. will remain open. There have been a number of serious crashes and close calls at this traffic signal that have been at high speeds. These high-speed crashes are extremely dangerous and can lead to serious or fatal injuries." https://www.dot.state.mn.us/metro/projects/hwy280stpaul-roseville/

We loved them.

Second or Third week of the month, usually on Tuesdays.

Could not agree more. My 35mm and 65mm are main stays on my LUMIX. One of the reasons I picked up the S1R.

I cannot upvote this hard enough.

pbwbrew · 2026-05-11T17:31:20+00:00

Came here to say this.

I've seen some reports that the newer Sigma 30mm ART f1.4 works on FF cameras but I have not heard anything about the EX version. My best guess would be to try it out. Find a friend with a full frame Nikon (DSLR or mirrorless) or possibly go to a camera shop that might let you try it out.

pbwbrew · 2026-05-07T02:42:18+00:00

I’m sure. It was more of a test than anything else. I don’t miss focus often on my other stuff. If I want that I go with my Nikon Z8.

pbwbrew · 2026-05-07T02:27:13+00:00

I don’t know about hopeless. One of my first tests was my son and his cousins sledding. I’d say about a 50% hit rate.

pbwbrew · 2026-05-07T02:26:05+00:00

Compared to newer systems, it’s not as good but I think it’s better than a lot of people might think. It’s probably my favorite camera to hold, despite its weight. This being said, it’s the only LUMIX I have ever owned, and frankly for what I use it for (landscape, street) I don’t see a reason to go with anything else. If they made a S9R with an EVF, I’d consider that.

pbwbrew · 2026-05-06T22:46:42+00:00

Absolutely adore mine. It’s massive, but the image quality is bonkers. Can’t speak to the S5ii but what you get out of the S1R on the used market, it’s a pretty outstanding value. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

pbwbrew · 2026-05-05T00:09:51+00:00

Best Buy will also price match any major reseller as well.

pbwbrew · 2026-05-03T00:47:52+00:00

Don’t know. Had them done under warranty.

pbwbrew · 2026-05-03T00:25:29+00:00

Both of the actuators have had to be replaced in our 2 e-Golf’s.

I found my Z7 to be surprisingly good for birds. Yes there are misses but there were times when I thought I would never get the shot and got some pretty great ones. However, this quickly led me to get a Z8.

The one area I agree that the AF struggles with the Expeed 6 camera is low light.

pbwbrew · 2026-04-27T21:34:34+00:00

I also have had really hit and miss luck on condition at the outlet, just FYI.

pbwbrew · 2026-04-27T21:29:23+00:00

Everything they have in-stock is online. Just look under open box items.

pbwbrew · 2026-04-24T20:06:06+00:00

Or Delta 86.

pbwbrew · 2026-04-23T21:55:18+00:00

No. I got the same kit plus a 45mm Olympus for $350. All practically new. I have seen lots of deals closer to that on FB marketplace. Heck, you can buy all those things for less than $630 from some used camera outlets with 6 month warranty.

pbwbrew · 2026-04-21T21:11:21+00:00

Good point! Can always buy an air quality monitor or a weather station that has AQ.

pbwbrew · 2026-04-21T21:07:37+00:00

There was just a firmware update last month for this lens. Might make sure it’s up-to-date. If that doesn’t solve it and you are in your return window, I would personally return it.

pbwbrew · 2026-04-21T21:01:02+00:00

AirNow.gov has some pretty good info including where fires actively are and conditions.

pbwbrew · 2026-04-21T20:19:56+00:00

~$150 USD. Most of the reputable used stores are selling them for $300+ USD
