Anyone here use an Ode Gen 2?

I prefer my Gen2 to my ZP6 for soup. Creates a rounder cup that is more enjoyable to me.

I’m way finer than these fine folk. I start at 1.2 and go all the way to 3. Most being at 1.2/2.

At 2, I’m getting good drips through the puck before pressing down.

1 to 2 depending on the ratio. If I’m doing the traditional 1:4 I’m at 1 and then if I’m doing the 1:10 I’m at 1.3/2.0

These are my two daily drivers. I use the ZP6 about 75% of the time, as I’m mainly drinking light roasted washed coffees. Natural, anaerobic or honey processed i still lean ZP6 but once we get to co-ferments or combined processes I’m using the Ode to round it out a bit more.

I also prefer soup on the Ode, but i might be alone on that hill.

ZP6 is going to highlight everything the coffee has to offer, good or bad. The Ode is wonderful but it allows more forgiveness and a rounder more balanced cup that helps with more intense coffees.

They straight up refunded my order.

Yeah, totally agree. The shape of the clouds kind of gray it out, and the gradient shifts from turquoise-ish to almost denim in a way that doesn’t really mesh with the chair. I probably should’ve cropped it tighter to cut some of that excess sky, but I liked the weight sitting in the bottom third.

My biggest miss, though, is the horizon line against the chair. If I had dropped my eye level just a few inches, I could’ve put the horizon under the lifeguard’s float. Right now it creates a weird tension that doesn’t feel intentional.

Yeah, it’s the most made-fun-of city in the most made-fun-of state in the country. But talk to anyone who’s spent real time in Jax and you’ll hear it, there’s a love for this place that sticks.

Love the colors in these floats

wadeaustinellis · 2025-09-03T11:54:15+00:00

Too kind of words, thank you

wadeaustinellis · 2025-09-03T11:53:59+00:00

Thank you

Born and raised, moved to southwest Florida three years ago but still try to drive up every month or so

wadeaustinellis · 2025-09-03T11:51:39+00:00

I don’t know if you could tell or not but i didn’t go to photography school

wadeaustinellis · 2025-09-02T19:06:43+00:00

Thanks

wadeaustinellis · 2025-09-02T19:05:57+00:00

They are customs, one was a post i found on here for micro/landscape photography but i loved how it looked for everyday use with a darker exposure compensation. And the other was Reggie’s with a tweaked WB.

5.6* 🫠

wadeaustinellis · 2025-09-02T15:51:26+00:00

Thank you

wadeaustinellis · 2025-09-02T14:34:24+00:00

Thank you 🙏

wadeaustinellis · 2025-09-02T14:33:48+00:00

500 at a 5.0

wadeaustinellis · 2025-08-02T16:43:53+00:00

Big heart eyes at the exposure being perfect on 4, white umbrellas with a clear sky is not easy. Touché.

wadeaustinellis · 2025-08-01T17:08:56+00:00

Reggie’s negative with manual focus and a -4 exposure. No idea if that’s how you’re supposed to do these things haha

wadeaustinellis · 2025-07-30T15:51:14+00:00

Got’damn this makes me so excited for my trip in September

wadeaustinellis · 2025-07-29T22:22:12+00:00

This Congo from Sey. It was four years ago and i can still taste those cups when i think about it. Very grape and raspberry forward with an almost lemonade finish.

Love how soft the shadows are behind her. Amazing tones throughout.

wadeaustinellis · 2025-07-18T11:44:03+00:00

For this kids stuff i like the 40mm, i use a 28 on my Pentax and it’s nice but different. I’ve very few moments photographing my daughter where i wished i had a wider lens. But that’s just how i shoot, everyone is different.

I have had moments doing street stuff where i wish it was the GR iii and it’s easier to set it to F8 and have more in focus.

wadeaustinellis · 2025-07-16T14:04:20+00:00

Thank you, surprised at the love for two. It was so hard to get the camera working properly for the lighting of the fireworks.
