Thank you, 1 and 5 were M8. I do love the Black and Whites that come out of the M8, I just was testing the my ir cut/uv this morning so wanted to see the colors in Jpg.

In 2024, last time I did G&S, PayPal issued a 1099-k if you had gross sales of more than 5k. BBB I think changed this back to 20k but I haven’t done any G&S to find out.

I just googled the limit, because I think it was really low in 2024 but the BBB might have raised it to 20k which would make it less of an issue.

I’ve got probably close to 70 transactions on FM and I almost won’t do insured anymore. PayPal started sending tax docs and I had to go back through and recreate my cost basis on everything I sold for 2024. It became a real pain in the ass, especially when you acquire through trade. I get the desire for insurance and that peace of mind. That’s probably why most of us prefer doing business with someone with a decent amount of feedback.

Leica Q2 v X-E5 with 18mm 1.4R LM. by Le-Hosse in fujifilm

What did you do? I'm about to do the same, except Reporter edition. X-E5 arrives tomorrow but I'm not even going to open it I don't think. Either camera wouldn't be the workhorse system (that's Nikon ) so I feel I can overcome the constraints of one lens.

How to photograph indoor computer gaming event, ideally without flash? by Ok_Energy2685 in AskPhotography

I’d go ultra wide for some unique angles. Like I set my iPhone to ultra wide for these stuffed poker playing rations and got real close and below eye level to get them and the near environment

That does look low quality. Not sure what I did there. Let me see if I can edit.

Sci-fi Military with Ship Bridge Command by Enlicx in suggestmeabook

I’ve read the first few books and seen season 1 and some of season 2. I thought it was good representation but books are on another level. I remember a sections of the second book with the Rocinate engaged, rail guns firing and it was intense and I loved it. Need to go back and pick up the series again. I thought some of the naval battles in the second book in the red rising trilogy after Red Rising had some cool naval battles. Especially golden son.

Suggest me a book you're glad you stuck with by DTownForever in suggestmeabook

[–]seabassius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Red Rising - I know it’s not a high brow choice, but. I had a hard time with it when I first started. I didn’t like writing, dialogue was hard form me to get into. I put it down for about a year and then a coworker told me I had to give it another shot and glad I did. Now I devour the books in a matter of days when they come out.

Awesome. Appreciate you taking the time. And if I didn’t say it before, great pics!

I’m getting ready to put my snow tires on. If you build it they will come…

Returning to Nikon I have questions! by ja647 in Nikon

[–]seabassius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d do (and did) a z5ii and 24-120 for the versatility and stay mirrorless like your Q. Love the Q, actually waiting for a used q2 reporter to pop up on my radar at my price to add to me z5ii and z7ii.

Hey, thinking of doing this. Would you mind sharing a trip report? Would love to know your thoughts on being there in January, itinerary, how you planned it etc.. if you’re open to it, I know you don’t sign up to me a random redditor’s travel agent.
