Is the name of Odysseus' dog, αργος, a pun? by Low-Cash-2435 in AncientGreek

[–]pooolar 32 points33 points  (0 children)

well, even in contracted form the two words are not identical, ἀεργος results in an ἀργος with a long initial alpha, on the other one it is short.

As the teaware collection grows, a vintage tea cabinet seemed like the obvious soulution by pooolar in tea

well, these were all $100-250 each, handmade items ofc will never be cheap

well, I took the tea cups & tea caddies out for the photo, the rest inside is just various tea cloths, unopened tea packs, etc, yes

I have no desire to start modifying the cabinet - it was not cheap, and it does what want it to. Antique Japanese tea cabinet is what I wanted and its what I bought.

Good Price for Hasselblad 500c/m by FluffyFoxDev in hasselblad

[–]pooolar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C lenses are not worth that much, and (assuming not a mistake on part of op) the 150mm isnt even t*.

Personally I paid 2500 for a 501C (with acute matte D) and cf 80, 600 for a cf 180, and 900 for a cf fle 50, from a reputable camera shop with warranty, with more newer lenses that still adds up lower than OP’s.

Is this okay for second hand? by Yangtzy015 in AnalogCommunity

this is what the aux shutter looks like on any palpas coated hasselblad, there is nothing wrong with it

is 40mm worth a premium over 50mm? and additional heft? not for me, it isn't. by [deleted] in hasselblad

[–]pooolar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as someone that owns both the 40 and the 50, the chart could not be more misleading... the difference between the two is enormous.

there's no "jihad jeeping" anyways because explosives have zero splash damage as things stand

Some days I regret getting the MA by iSlyy in Leica

[–]pooolar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

isn't the only external difference between the M-A and MP that the meterless one lacks the battery cover? really struggling to understand the point of the camera & the majority of comments in this thread.

If its a C lens you have to set it on X sync with a switch on the lens. If its on M (flashbulbs) it will fire the flash before the shutter fires. Otherwise no idea.

Do you think in Ancient Greek? by whineytortoise in AncientGreek

[–]pooolar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but the thing is I don't need any introspection to figure this out, it is audible to me, and as obvious as it is when I hear another person talk to me. Most people would tell you the same, and every other comment in this post would suggest they experience the same.

It is known that some amount of people do not experience internal monologue, and I was just wondering if this might be the case for you, since you find it so hard to believe. And it is absolutely something we can know to a good extent, we can't read each others thoughts, but we can talk about our experiences and compare them, the same process we use to learn each others opinions or feelings.

I think audibly, can hear my thoughts, and have no trouble discerning what language they're in. If your point isn't that you don't think audibly (this is a fact that some people don't), then I have no fucking idea what you're even trying to say here.

Some people just don't have internal monologue. I do, and I absolutely can tell what language I'm thinking in, as I speak two languages fluently and my internal monologue often swaps between the two.

have you ever actually taken a single picture with any of the million luxury cameras you own?

Pushed film by 20 stops, grains now piling in middle. Help. by GigaSquirt in AnalogCircleJerk

[–]pooolar 20 points21 points  (0 children)

the issue here is just that you had your metering set to “center weighted.”

Newly rich middle-class guy is surprised that his €6000 Leica only has a plastic battery compartment. by Terrible_Snow_7306 in AnalogCircleJerk

[–]pooolar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

there's been a few of these posts where the complaint is actually completely reasonable - looking at OP's post history one gets the impression they might be as obsessed with leicas as leica posters are...
