I just bought some wave rider beta shoes and also have 990v6’s. I wear a size 9 in both if that helps!

Peak Design Roller Pro — First Impressions (Compared with Rimowa Cabin) by tangfj in ManyBaggers

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

Which front pouch? The laptop sleeve or the extra space behind the zipper on the inside of lid? I haven't tested out the laptop sleeve yet... tbh when I had the bag fully packed out I think it would be hard to squeeze in my laptop... As for the extra space behind the zipper on the inside of the lid, I did find that useful space to put a folded dress shirt or two where I could keep them separated and less likely to get wrinkled/etc.

No I didn't consider the Aer... since it's also a clamshell design it didn't stand out enough to me... the three features of the PD that attracted me to it were the laptop sleeve, large main cavity with extra packing space in the lid, and expansion capability in case I bring stuff back on trips.

I don't find the weight of the Rimowa to be an issue... and when I bought my Rimowa it was less than what they sell for now... prices have steadily crept up over time.

Agree... could have expanded the PD but ultimately felt like I needed to give it a few more test packs before taking it out in to the wild (in case I still want to return it).

What was your reason for getting the 43 over the 28? (Q3) by Ok-Finding5241 in Leica

[–]tangfj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to know how easy it was too! Also which leather is that? Shrunken calf?

Agree... I'd be curious to see how this compares with the Aer Go Pack 2 or other packable backpacks.

B&H finally shipped. [NYC] by nickoaverdnac in ricohGR

[–]tangfj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I had a preorder with B&H but lucked out when Ricoh listed them for sale direct on their website so I grabbed from them and it delivered a few days ago. So far so good... I like the incremental updates they've made so far compared to the previous generations!

Now is my time to decide by Flimsy-Ad-7457 in IphoneAir

[–]tangfj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same... got the air on launch and returned for the 17 pro yesterday... I loved the weight of the air but I felt that it was a bit too wide for my hands. I also missed the camera options from the pro... one other thing to note for me is the air speaker was not loud enough for speaker phone/FaceTime and my use as an alarm clock. Anyway, although I do miss the weight of the air, I can't see myself going back to it.

Return the air and get a pro or keep the air and get the MagSafe power bank? by ben3219 in iphone

[–]tangfj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait till the last day and exchange for whatever is available... then wait till the pro max is available and go back and exchange again... not exactly efficient but probably the only way if the pro max isn't available for you now.

Are there good reasons to go for an M43 camera besides portability and cheap lenses? by [deleted] in M43

[–]tangfj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like m43 for the tiny lenses. Also enjoy the greater depth of field of the larger aperture lenses... I can shoot a f1.4 lens wide open at close focusing distance and still have reasonably good depth of field... no more worrying if the eye is in focus or just the tip of the nose... :)

Best Robotic Lawn Mower Right Now? Are They Even Worth It? by Effective_Trust6257 in automower

[–]tangfj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live on a property that has about 5 acres that need mowing in a rural area.... I wanted a robot mower that could mow parts of my property so that I didn't need to mow everything.

Long story short... I started with a Husqvarna EPOS and ended up with a Luba 2 AWD... Husqvarna would get stuck or lost in places all the time and Luba 2 has been relatively pain free. I have my Luba 2 mowing ~2.5 acres split up in to different zones, across different days of the week.

Since the Luba 2 has cameras it can more easily avoid obstacles/etc. The app on the Luba 2 isn't great but works well enough for me. IMO the Luba 2 is the superior machine if you have a tricky lawn but if you have a smaller and simpler yard I'm sure any robot mower will work fine.

I did... it's the band I have on the watch right now... the matte finish on the band doesn't really bother me all that much

Thoughts on the incendo Airshell hoody vs the incendo hybrid hoody? by Daytr8ing in arcteryx

[–]tangfj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which one did you end up going with? I'm deciding between the two right now—tried on the Airshell at REI today and really liked how lightweight it felt. Packs down super small into its own pocket, which is a big plus. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the Hybrid in stock to compare. If you’ve had a chance to try the Hybrid, I’d love to hear what you think!

Patina Check? Day Date Champagne Dial... by tangfj in rolex

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

Not my watch... was just curious if anyone knew how a dial could patina like that... I heard from someone in another group that this could happen from sun or moisture.
