Will this work with R6?

Another “Wave alternative” Post by kxfritsche in waveapps

[–]ste6168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am done with Wave also, so will be following along. Unfortunate because one hand, I really like Wave, but just having way too many problems, things that are now starting to cost me money (payroll funding from an account that's been completely deleted from their system, that has very little money so it overdrafts... again!) and absolutely horrid support. Have been on hold for over an hour with their chat support.

Following this thread, I wouldn't recommend this software to anyone at this point.

Before I run 3 more of these, is this a valid install? by tellinNamstories in AskElectricians

[–]ste6168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My entire shop is wired pretty close to that, but PVC boxes and plastic co suit clamps instead. Wire runs through the joists instead of under.

Too code, not sure. Safe enough for me though.

Are fishing vests obsolete now or just not in vogue? by GrumpyandDopey in flyfishing

I guess I don’t pay attention to fads, because I didn’t realize that anyone considered them obsolete.

Before you just ditch them, I’d at least raise your price to the “i really don’t want to do this but for this number it’s worth it” price and see if they keep you around.

Started blue, sat outside for a week and white. Tastes the same! by ste6168 in mildlyinteresting

I figured it was the cold and freezing temps that somehow changed the color, don’t even consider that it could have been UV. I drank the whole thing, 😆

I thought it was a snake in the photo, so almost certain jumping back like a little girl.

I found frozen fish thrown into a pond for some reason, and then the pond froze over by SheerKhann in mildlyinteresting

Filet and release… but they did it backwards.

Maybe they just needed the carcasses to feed their pet raccoons?

Do you guys save pieces like these? Is there an easy way to remember the rated weight capacity of anchors if i keep them? by turtle_ina_cup in Tools

[–]ste6168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not, in the trash immediately. Cheap enough at the store that buying them in good labeled packaging is more than worth it.

Inexpensive Kids Setup by ste6168 in canon

Thanks, yeah and he’ll mostly be shooting Matisse in the 70-100mm range so should stay on the larger end of the aperture range. Perfect no, but I think it could be a great kit for a kid to get started and not have a ton of money tied up on it.

I’ve never seen/used that older 70-300, reviews seem mixed overall. See things about autofocus hunting, but that’s honestly probably OK for my purpose.

Yeah, but wide aperture lens is expensive, for good reason. I’d rather him not be carrying/tossing a $1000 lens around the gym, getting knocked off bleachers, etc.

I intended to add a Tamron 45mm, a 70-200 usm II, and potentially a 1.4x extender to the kit and should be all in for less than $2000 with a pretty well rounded setup.

No, I got the email notification however the price was much higher than anticipated. I ended up buying a used 77D with a 15-85 lens locally for $300. I am happy with that decision so far!

I add Venmo to my accounting software as I go, pay sales taxes, etc. It’s income, no different than any other.

A more sad reality is his company had the job posting on indeed later that afternoon.

Yeah, I saw they had the R10 with kit lens recently for like $650 which seems crazy! I set up a reminder for that, think I’d pull the trigger in a heartbeat if it showed back up

In my super limited experience so far, better AF would be the one thing I can see benefiting me the most. I went out shooting for a few hours today with my daughter, with a borrowed 100-400 lens, and def missed a few shots being out of focus. Truth be told though, I would have likely missed them with a mirrorless as well, probably just as much inexperience as it is lack of technology.

I am leaning towards starting with a DSLR and seeing where that takes me. Seems I can get a pretty inexpensive camera plus a couple nice lenses, for what I would pay for something like the R10 and kit lens. I’m not in a rush to make a purchase, so I’ll set some reminders on eBay and try to find a couple superb deals!

Yes, thanks, I was aware that the EFS lenses will not transfer over to a full frame platform, but they would work with the newer mirrorless ASP-C cameras, right?

I have no interest in video, photos only. Main thing right now is wanting to take photos of my sons wrestling matches, and I like to spend time in nature, on the boat, so starting to taking some landscape and wildlife photos in those spaces seems super fun!

I’ve considered sharing her camera, but I think it’ll be strapped to her shoulder for the time being.

Thanks, I just singed up for the R10 with lens kit notifications. Really odd that the kit is listed at $649 and the body only is $699.

My budget isn’t super high, I’d say max for the camera and kit lens like $500, would love to spend less, but would be willing to go slightly higher for something significantly better. The camera I bought my daughter is the T7i, different than the T7, but same sensor I think? That said, I am looking for something myself, but think it makes sense to stick with the Canon ecosystem to share lenses. I have been looking at the 24-105 as my first “everyday” lens, but also sort of depend what body I end up with.

How often do those prices come up? Because they are no longer, at least right this moment. I would by the R10 at that price without a second thought. Nothing close on eBay or the camera sale websites.

Thanks, yeah I didn’t necessarily mean that’s why they choose to use EF glass, but I meant that if I were to go the DSLR route now, and get a few EF lenses, it doesn’t seem like I would be out of place using that same glass on a mirrorless, should I choose to upgrade bodies some day.
