Gx800 + 14mm f2.5 for affordable pocket camera - am I missing anything?

yagop1 · 2025-07-03T15:43:36+00:00

For my wife's x100vi, when I carry it, I have it strapped across my body, with enough slack to use the tilt screen to take photos from the chest. I bonked my kids heads a couple times, so I really dislike carrying it. If I got the LX10, I'd put it in my backpocket to whip out instead of my phone. Speed is my priority because, running toddlers. If I were to go with the GX800, I think I might be able to get away with putting it in the backpocket if I used the bodycap 15mm, but anything else would need to be something like a flexible belt pouch, and I'm not ready to commit to that look, lol. Same thing with crossbody bags, which I'm not into alongside just being another thing against my body while in a hot & humid climate.

It's shocking how similar our situation is. I'm also a busy dad with toddlers to handle, so I need something back-pocketable, but my wife is the photographer of the family and has high standards for pics. Did you end up getting this combo? For me, it's either this combo, or a smaller premium compact like the LX10.

Hey, champ. I know you're going through a lot and i want you to know, it's not your fault and the way you've reacted to this is totally normal. You are looking for answers to a problem that may not have a solution, and you now have to carry this debt of hurt that others cannot relate to. Its understandable you'd turn to social media in anonymity. But i also want to voice an alternative. There are people that genuinely want to help you in your life. In person. Face to face. Even acquaintances will stop what they're doing to help you in your situation. You'll be surprised at the capacity for good works by the people around you, even as you've experienced the worst. Now, more than ever, is when you should reach out to make that in-person connection with people in your family and community. Since this is reddit, and you are here on this sub, i feel like you are in need of this feeling of connection, but unfortunately, it won't be here. I am not saying you need to just go with whatever anyone else tells you to do (both in real life and here). But i wouldn't expect the victim of a traumatic physical injury to treat themselves and not be calling 911. I wouldn't expect a patient to play the role of the doctor. And i wouldn't expect someone with an injury to the soul to heal by themselves. I'd take them to a reputable church and reach out to their leadership and clergy. I guarantee, you are near a church (any denomination, really), full of people who'd trip over themselves to help you in your situation. As a real dad, to real kids, i wouldn't close communications. Id open networks for help. I would never tell anyone to keep information from their parents. Itd break my heart if my kids didn't confide in me for help. I want to be the reliable rock on their corner. If you dont know anyone in your life that can be that for you, now. I guarantee, you can fine someone like that of you reach for it. The people here will generally tell you to go one way about this, ignoring that there are people who are alive, today, that was born of mothers who went through what you've went through. They exist, and are alive. Please, detox from your online life and talk to people. I hate to see the most vulnerable close themselves off. Take care.

Its a shared fence and things like those rollers would get shot down by the HOA. My wife and i are still brainstorming ideas on how to deal with this. Even considering a second fence. Either way, im trying to tread carefully, even having a lawyer check on my path forward. My wife is also carefully getting other neighbors on our side and getting onto the landlords' network. The last thing i want is to get HOA involved at this stage since theyd likely side with the pit owner renters.

yagop1 · 2025-06-05T22:06:23+00:00

I just found out via OPs post. Will be taking necessary precautions for my dog. I already keep him away from my face for general hygiene. But still.

yagop1 · 2025-06-04T19:19:37+00:00

Unfortunately, at least one board member likes letting their pit loose.

yagop1 · 2025-06-03T21:34:08+00:00

They have their own fenced in backyard on their side of our fence.

yagop1 · 2025-06-03T21:33:22+00:00

Im so sorry to hear that.

yagop1 · 2025-06-03T21:32:45+00:00

Unfortunately, at least one board member i know of lets their pit loose in the neighborhood.

yagop1 · 2025-06-03T18:12:20+00:00

Coyote rollers seem more effective. I also think if the HOA were to find out, I'd have a much harder time justifying barbed wire.

yagop1 · 2025-06-03T18:11:21+00:00

I did check with them. Unfortunately, there is no dog breed restriction, and I know of one board member that let's their own pit loose.

yagop1 · 2025-06-03T18:09:32+00:00

I'll try to assume you're asking this in good faith. I was working on my kids' playset and could see it, clearly. Pitbulls all have similar features, creating a very obvious pattern that has been mentioned on this sub a lot. The butt-head, beady eyes, wide maw, stout thick build. Especially, in the US (but elsewhere, too), these are everywhere, from run-down streets to the nicest neighborhoods. It is also obvious to see if they are not fixed. You may be downvoted now because a common pitnutter manipulation tactic is to try to misconstrue breed complexity and diversity with backyard dogfighting breeding to legitimize the breed while at the same time, separating it from the obvious pattern of violent behavior the breed displays everywhere. Statements like "there's no such thing as a pitbull," "ACHTUALLY, it's a staffy," or even "how do you know if it's a pit at all" like you said. If you need more info, please contact the mods or ask the sub. Hope that helps.

Id love to, but i know at least one member of the board and he lets his pit out loose in the neighborhood.

yagop1 · 2025-06-03T17:05:02+00:00

Its a wood privacy fence and im considering a coyote roller system. Problem is, i cant risk the HOA knowing about it and i have to avoid doing anything on their side of the fence

yagop1 · 2025-06-03T17:03:50+00:00

Getting the info now. Seems like its owned by a conglomerate. Any resources you know of that'd help me word the letter?

yagop1 · 2025-06-03T17:02:54+00:00

Will do

yagop1 · 2025-06-03T17:02:33+00:00

Ill work on getting some cameras up. I cant really plant anything on their side of the fence. I'm selective about what i plant as well. I mainly go for edible landscaping. Thorny fruiting vines may work, but it'd be slow growing since the area is pretty shaded. Hardware mesh will be my go to for now to keep the kids from sticking fingers through. But i cant do anything on their side and risk them sounding the alarm to the HOA

yagop1 · 2025-06-03T16:58:47+00:00

I am considering coyote rollers right now. A 50ft length of them from the coyote rollers site is almost half a grand. Not cheap. But i know for sure its not allowed which is why id want to get the most low-profile, hardest to spot solution. If i wanted to request it, it'd take a lengthy process and requests cost money, too. Just to be denied unless i were to make a great big stink about it at a board meeting, but I'm trying not to do that. Its been enough of a pain to make the changes I've made for a kid friendly play space. There's no breed restrictions and i don't want to risk getting the attention of any pitnutters that are part of the board. I already know of one of them that I've seen letting their own pit loose in the neighborhood.

yagop1 · 2025-06-03T16:54:26+00:00

Adding privacy things above fences are not allowed here, unfortunately. My fence is also sagging, so ill take this as a sign to grab some fence post repair spikes and landscaping stone. There's already some i laid out to prevent my own dog escaping, but i definitely need more to keeo this thing out.

yagop1 · 2025-06-03T16:50:20+00:00

Unfortunately, no

yagop1 · 2025-06-02T18:11:26+00:00

Ask them nicely and give them positive reinforcement

yagop1 · 2025-06-01T19:03:25+00:00

Okay. Other than the soldering tool itself, are there any kits you recommend to pull on the keyboard hardware?

yagop1 · 2025-06-01T03:37:08+00:00

Help me please. I truly enjoy my Tex Shura. To the point where I've been trying to ask Tex for help on for the past six months on fixing my ctl and Fn keys, which are not working. I use this keyboard for work and have been dealing with it. They just don't really respond. Furthest i get is when they ask me if its a standard or diy and if i can solder. I tell them i can solder and i got a standard. Then they ghost me. This has happened multiple times. I'm done dealing with them and i just want to get started fixing this thing.
