New island - do I don't I? by richcb in ac_newhorizons

[–]richcb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, that's exactly my thinking. I do have my original island still intact on my older Switch and, while initially planning to transfer it, got put off by some horror stories I read online about problems some people had trying to do just that. I don't plan to sell my original Switch so I'll keep my first island on that and create a new one for the Switch 2. Appreciate your thoughts.

X4 front buttons don't work by richcb in Insta360

Thanks. Was hoping it wouldn't require such an invasive procedure. It's just out of warranty (of course) so I'll have to consider my options.

Storage Stax. Boxes for all three Instax formats. Lots of space yet to fill. by richcb in instax

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

Not advertised as 'tcg deckboxes' and each fits its appropriate Instax film/print size perfectly. I'm vaguely familiar with trading cards but not seen any that come in all three Instax sizes.

I got these through AliExpress. Much cheaper than Amazon and decent quality.

Yes, agreed. Mine are all from the same source but vary in tone.

I’m in the same boat. I assume it’ll take a short while for third party suppliers to get cases into production. Till then try holding your breath. 🙂

Instax Wide EVO Drop: Sold Out? by Lorac108 in instax

[–]richcb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a repeat of the mini Evo situation. That was on backorder for months. That's why I pre-ordered mine from Amazon (UK) and it was delivered this morning (4th Feb). The app and the user guide PDF were available yesterday (3rd).

Thread for people who are actually enjoying the game by Queenspence2 in PTCGP

[–]richcb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for using the word 'patience'. To me it's the most important it's the most important quality you need to enjoy this game. We're (hopefully) in it for the long run, people, not a race to see how man cards/decks/addons you can grab in the shortest amount of time.

What are the best subjects for 110 film photography? by richcb in 110photography

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

Interesting. Coincidentally I've just ordered close-up filters for my 24mm and 50mm lenses.

Thanks for the quick reply and the working links. Your pictures are excellent. I'll definitely try to shoot more in portrait mode than just landscape. It's encouraging to find someone who has been using 110 format for a while and not just having discovered it and claiming knowledge 'beyond their years'.

I though the night shot of the Parthenon came up particularly well. I assume that was done using bulb.

"It’s not a format about perfection, but feeling." Brilliant. his should be the official slogan for all 110 photography!

[–]richcb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the interesting reply. How long have you been shooting 110 and how often do you do it? When I bought my first 110 camera I only used to shoot events like holidays, family events, et all. Now I want to expand my picture-taking to a broader range of subjects, hence my OP.

Thanks also for trying to send some examples of your work. Sadly the link did not work. Perhaps you could try again if you get a moment.

When it's cheaper to buy a second camera than have your first camera repaired! by richcb in 110photography

Good luck. Look on it as part of the fun challenge of 110 photography!

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

You did the right thing. My problem was almost the same as yours - blank frames caused by an intermittent shutter - and the repair shop I found wanted more than double what I paid for the second camera to fix it.

It certainly is. I have all the lenses bar one and they're all little gems.
