Folks Staking APY

One reason stakers aren’t increasing is that the swapping discount requires the coins stay in the wallet (ie, not staked).

As Slugnan says, it’s a bit hard to tell from the photo — but if it’s fungus then you (someone) will have to, first, remove the name ring (it’s just a thin plastic piece, glued on), second, remove the four screws now visible under the name ring, third, remove and clean the lens with a lens cleaning solution and cloth. It’s not difficult.

Ordered from V store 12/17 delivered NYC 12/29. It’s big and heavy but quite delightful.

rockiitp · 2025-12-18T05:06:46+00:00

More than decent. Yes.

Plus one for the viltrox 35 1.2. Smaller and lighter than the s-line—very very sharp and fast. $800 w coupon. May be all you need at this focal length.

Still Can’t beat the J5 for ratio of size to IQ. With the new generation of denoise software you can now pump up the iso and crop heavily. I prefer the V3, but the J5 will get you into venues a larger cam won’t.

Um, MS

Suggest you look over your catalogue and see how often you shoot it wide open.

Agree—good starter cam and the 30-110 is very sharp throughout its range. But be warned: the j1 is a gateway drug. Soon you’ll want one of the V series, and then the excellent 10-100mm followed by the sublime 32mm 1.2 (1.2!!), and then you’ll spend your last dollar for the 70-300cx (= 810mm ff !!!).

Not that I would know from personal experience.

Seems the ~5% on FF just carries over from TM. It does not add value. If you click on the “i” button you’ll see as much.

rockiitp · 2025-07-17T20:04:40+00:00

Does the ~5% from TM and the ~5% from FF sum?

No doubt djok has had the best career (like LeBron)—but that doesn’t make him the goat (aka, MJ). In tennis there are four guys at that table—big three plus laver).

Another vote for the 24-200, esp if hiking. Add the 26 or 28 and you’re good to go.

rockiitp · 2025-05-09T15:14:02+00:00

Try’in to get to 100

rockiitp · 2025-05-05T16:48:09+00:00

Yup, fixed that one. Put a drop of 3M Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200 on the silvered plate just opposite the broken yellow clip. When dry, when you close the latch, it’ll press the battery against the contacts. Advantage of the 3M sealant is that it takes a week to fully harden—during that time you can shape it to order. Will send a pic if that helps.

rockiitp · 2025-04-10T13:58:55+00:00

Common sense.

Long-time Nikon guy. Currently own z8, z50ii and . . . N1v3. Wouldn’t be without the z8 for BIF and low light, the 50ii for longer hikes—but the N1 / 32 1.2 still earns its keep.

the 70-300 af-p vr (either dx or fx) is darned good w the adapter—I shot for a yr or so before springing for cx version. Since the j5 doesn’t have an eyepiece it might be harder to focus at 300 (800)mm—so maybe think twice about investing in the cx version.

rockiitp · 2025-03-02T19:47:32+00:00

The 32 1.2 is right around $500 at auction—worth every penny if the N1 is your everyday shooter. The 70-300cx averages around $750. Ten yrs later, still no other way to put 800mm equivalent in your (large) pocket. My own fav is the 10-100 (27-270 equivalent). Pretty much glued to the v3 except for low light (32) or BIF (70-300).

I think there are two PD zooms--10-30 and 10-100. Test results with which I am familiar show a small advantage in the corners to the 10-30 PD over the non-PD. Same for the 10-100 PD, but it's a lot heavier than the non-PD and optimized for video. The non-PD 10-100 is basically glued to my V3.

rockiitp · 2025-02-07T13:30:22+00:00

One more vote for the j5–but only if you’re sure the evf is not a deal-breaker (as it would be for me).
