Before vs. After Christmas

Hey all,

Taking my family to Tokyo this holiday season and trying to decide whether to go for DisneySea a little earlier in our trip (Dec 21 or 22) or at the very end (Dec 29). I know this will be a busy time (when isn't). I've lived near Disney in Florida and California so very used to a crowded day - but in the interest of funmaxxing, which time is likely to be more crowded? When the Christmas decor is up or in the week leading to New Years?

[B] [USA-CA] Fuji GW670, 680, 690 II or III

Posted here a while back, got scammed, recovered and ready to try again. I'm looking to replace some gear after losing mine to the fires last year. I miss shooting medium format a lot. Used to shoot on a Kiev 60, now I've got little kids and would prefer something a little lighter on its feet. The fixed-lens Fujis seem like the move for me, but open to similarly portable cameras. Interested in 6x7 and up, grew tired of square frames. Thanks!

whole new deal

I’m one of the unfortunate few who lost everything in the LA fires last year. Including, of course, all of my family of four’s camping gear.

We’re finally in a place where we’re ready to start over and get back out there and I need recs for pretty much everything - from tent to sleeping bag to camp kitchen gear and chairs, etc. I know someone posts asking for recs here every day so — will you just share with me your favorite piece of camping gear? Will help me put a list together as I’m far from up to date.

We’ve got two adults and two small kids. Also a chihuahua. We still live in Southern California and mostly camp in Big Bear, Joshua Tree, Big Sur, etc. Mountains, desert, beach. Thank you!

Mystery IR Camera

Hey gang,

I'm new to IR photography and just picked up an "IR converted Fuji XT30" from eBay. The seller could give me no further info other than it's IR converted but not full spectrum. To my eye it seems it's something in the 500s - any clue how to tell? Including an uncorrected image direct from camera in case it's instantly recognizable to someone.

Also curious - I'd planned to pick up some filters when I thought I was buying a full spectrum camera. The Kolari chrome lite and a 550nm - is there any point now?

Thanks!

Lost my set-up in the fires last year, finally looking to replace my Kiev 60 with something more functional for me. Prices on eBay from resellers are all over the place and quality seems unreliable at best, so figured I'd poke around here. Thanks!
