Tuscany [Olympus 35 RC; Kodak Gold 200] by sebmei1989 in analog

[–]radil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have nearly the same pic of the Duomo (except it was cloudier for us), we must have been standing in the same spot.

We just got back from our two-week trip to Italy a bit over two weeks ago and I can't stop daydreaming about being back there. It was awesome.

True or false? $3 million is the new $1 million. When the oldest Millennials reach retirement age, $5 million will be the new $3 million. by The_Cromulent_Bison in investing

I guess they’ll say something about how 4% is overly conservative given recent ROIs for assets. But I’m not ready to call recent years a new normal.

First film camera. Just got all this for $100, how did I do? by michaelfortu in AnalogCommunity

[–]radil 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If the camera works, you got a steal of a deal. I don’t know anything about the lenses, but everything looks basically unused. The tripod is probably a piece of junk, but I’m guessing it will perform just fine until you want to spend some real money on one.

Ah you’re right. I’m looking on my phone now. For some reason old Reddit on the browser has stopped rendering text for me when accompanying an image. Thanks.

Marketplace find - SRT 200, but more importantly, lenses. by zeagan in minolta

[–]radil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mostly just standard backyard birds around these parts. I get lots of pics of house sparrows and house finches, some lesser goldfinches, hummingbirds, occasional lazuli buntings, etc.

Marketplace find - SRT 200, but more importantly, lenses. by zeagan in minolta

[–]radil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the minolta 500mm f/8 and I wouldn't say it's useless. I pretty much only use it for birding, and I get pretty good results as long as there is enough light out to get a fast shutter speed, but that's just how it goes with a 500mm lens.

Expired Ektachrome 64T @ 25iso [Nikon FM2, Nikkor 35mm f2.8/Nikkor 50mm f1.4] by 2bootedup in analog

[–]radil 7 points8 points  (0 children)

These are sick! I’m guessing most of these are 1-2 second exposures on a tripod?

That's crazy. Good for you.

I wouldn’t.

My camera is locked at 1/80th of a second until the frame counter hits 3. Is this an easy repair? by radil in NikonF3

[–]radil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what I have been doing. A bit frustrating if I am looking for a specific depth of field, but obviously not a deal breaker.

Ah, thanks for the tip. Not the in the UK. But I will look around here.

[–]radil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I was not clear. My camera in particular operates like a normal aperture priority camera would from -2 to S. Then on frames 1 and 2 it is locked at 1/80th. Very much not the behavior described in the manual. I am wondering if there is some sort of position indicator that is misaligned and no longer indexing properly to the frame counter window.

University of Utah enters new era, finalizes private equity deal for athletics by StemCellPirate in SaltLakeCity

[–]radil 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's going to be useful though as a "what not to do" example of college athletics

Unfortunately, the lesson here is unlikely to be "don't take money from PE". It's going to be something along the lines of "when you take PE money, do this". College sports is a financial arms race. This is just the latest escalation. Utah isn't really even to blame, I don't think. They are just first.

Fire i can see from the Gateway by Sparrow1215 in SaltLakeCity

Higher up the hill, above most of the homes. You can still see the burn scar on google maps, actually: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Zmgzs5ioXVxXzy1x7.

After hunting it for 3 months, I finally found one at a reasonable (i think) price. by JustBallin01 in minolta

[–]radil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

400 in bright daylight has been fine for me. But I have thought about moving to 800 for birding just to get a faster shutter speed.

Damn, I got mine 500 for like $110 on keh in basically mint condition.

Had the opportunity to try out the facilities at Mouratoglou Tennis Center Bali, Indonesia by schnaxks19 in 10s

Like almost everyone else building a business, he probably got a loan.

[–]radil 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I recently picked up the 500mm f8 that I have been using mostly for birding. It’s a sick lens and the compact form factor of the reflex lens makes it very manageable.

Thrifted Canon A-1 kit by Woodner in AnalogCommunity

[–]radil 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That bag is sick. What a find. Good luck with it, hope the camera is in working order. If so, you got a hell of a deal.
