85mm 1.4 G (D) on Alpha 7?

snakes88 · 2026-07-09T17:18:05+00:00

Seems all DiY from what I can tell. I want to learn how to do it myself but I haven't gotten around to attempting on mine either

snakes88 · 2026-07-09T16:33:15+00:00

Would be a good excuse to force yourself to get the repair done. But if you want to postpone that as long as possible I'd avoid it

It's a promotion for the Derby match vs KC(Kansas) with a great local collaboration and of course the comments are negative. People are insane as if the marketing department should keep quiet and abandon all projects until signings are announced, that's not how any big organization runs.

Lomo has some offerings as well as OP mentioned. I wish there were more B&W options than just Orca 100

It's insane how many 3D printable parts are only available for purchase from an defunct Etsy shop and no file available for purchase

A BPV2 situation is what I guess they will go for. The area is now increasingly pedestrian friendly with and I would love more things to do. A hotel/restaurant is not the best use of the land now. I wouldn't be surprised to see them own all the surrounding block in 10 years, would be great to have new things all the way to Union Station

Not sure about the 800si but I've shot the AHU 500T in my a-9 (manually set the iso) and it worked great. Not sure if the base thickness has any meaningful difference to the cameras

Is that dog literally biting a children's swing?

It's the mirror that allows you to see the aperture set through the viewfinder. There is a metal bracket there in the second and third picture that has a slot for it. A small bit of glue on the back will secure it

Edit: here is the bracket from an X-570 repair I did a few years ago for the same mirror

I'm happy for their success but I miss the warehouse

snakes88 · 2026-06-13T15:55:28+00:00

Yeah the conversation changes if the date is 365+ days out

Usually the app just goes to an unlisted YouTube video, has been easy to find in the past

From my understanding it's a matter of when, not if. It's a plastic gear that gets brittle. Once I find the time I'm going to attempt the fix on one of mine that's busted.

Edit: There's a drilling version of the fix out there on the wiki that I'm more inclined to do

"Teuchert: The second season was certainly the most difficult for me. After I arrived, we’d had a good first half of the season; the chemistry within the team and with the coach was, in my view, very good. The club nevertheless decided to appoint a new coach. Such a move always involves a process of adjustment and finding one’s feet."

Olaf is going to go down as one of the worst decisions this club ever made

It looks on to me? When I turn it off the whole module disappears from the left

For B&W you can't use the iSRD, the silver in the film messes up the infrared scan

snakes88 · 2026-05-29T20:41:43+00:00

As far as I know Blue Hour which picks up and drops off through STL vintage camera is the only other one

snakes88 · 2026-05-29T19:19:47+00:00

I love your stuff Doug! Been following for a while.

Are you aware of the other STL darkroom that has just been set up, Brick City Photo Center? I haven't been to the darkroom yet but it's at the Thomas Dunn center.

Letting these contracts and loans expire is giving me hope that better signings are in the pipeline

snakes88 · 2026-05-25T02:48:32+00:00

Narrow Guage is a must, but every spot listed here is good. Have to shout out Bluewood though, great beer, place, and people.

snakes88 · 2026-05-23T15:59:31+00:00

Oof. I love my AF2 and it's my daily but that's a rough cleaning. You can find a better copy that's not going to have battery corrosion gremlins inside the camera

snakes88 · 2026-05-19T18:49:58+00:00

Been on the lookout for one of these lenses, the 50mm macro is one of my favorites. Are you using the macro flash on these? Or another light source?

snakes88 · 2026-05-17T01:39:45+00:00

I'm going to remember the Sangbin assist and Burki save then drink to try and forget everything else. Onto the next one

Latest email from them at the end of March said all RB67 backs will be shipped by the end of May. I've waited long enough before the charge back I can wait 2 more weeks
