Hi all, I may have gotten ahead of myself. But I purchase a a TRV460 for $200, working order and came with two batteries.

I wanted soemthing I could bring around to record my everyday life for myself and my family. I also wanted something I could use FireWire to transfer to my PC since I have a FireWire card already. I also want to be able to go back and watch/digitize tapes from my childhood. So I thought this would be the best option. But I’m not so sure honestly.

I also bought 3 Sony hi8/digital8 tapes.

Trying to justify my purchase, hoping I didn’t jump too far off here.

Hi all, just wondering if any of the Maddox OBDII tools have service mode/EPB retraction capability?

Hi all, just wondering which lens I should go for in terms of 90mm light falloff. I used in the past and it had very significant falloff, it was a Angulon f/8. Hoping for soemthing faster this time with a larger imaging circle and less light falloff.

Primarily will be used on color reversal and color negative film.

Thanks!

This is for 4x5!

To break it down super quick, I was metering with my phone using the lightme app, shooting with Provia 100f. I also had a grey card. The scene was not dynamically difficult at all.

One shot was just incredibly overexposed, and the previous shots were a bit overexposed, although not totally gone and useable.

The shot was metered for 1 minute and 10 seconds, about 15 minutes past sunset.

The only explanation other than a bad reading I have is that I relied too heavily on my grey card. It was a foggy scene and I have a feeling the fog reflected more light than what I could get on my grey card. The scene was totally overexposed.

I don’t have the photo to post, but we’ll just say there was nearly no detail in the image at all. Essentially like 99% clear/foggy.

With that said. I’m wondering if I should move on from my phone app and get a light meter.

Just wondering what the heck happened here.

She is a 4 year old Pit Mix.

I do wanna think that she just exerted herself too much, but I haven’t seen this before from her.

We were on a walk, and mind you, she freaking go absolutely nuts the first 10 minutes of her walk. Pulling like crazy, being a nut.

She did that, her usual self. But then out of nowhere she looked tired.

It has been cold out here. I wanna say this week was mostly in the 40s/ low 50s, but just today it got warm and it’s in the low 80s. So I’m thinking that may have a play in it.

But we ended up turning around. Because it was enough to make me concerned.

On the way back, she was trying to stop in the shade it seemed liked. We did see a few dogs, she did her normal of getting excited. But seemed tired shortly after that.

She did eat treats, and I usually have a great eye on her. So I’m doubtful about her eating something. Unless she snagged a small rock.

Either way, right now her panting stopped. She’s laying down. She ate her dinner just now too.

Finally laying down and relaxing, instead of panting and being uncomfortable.

I’m not sure what else to give, other than it has been cool out, now suddenly hot. She may have overexerted herself. She was pulling like a mofo, more so than usual. And then about 10 minutes in she just wanted to quit. We walked back okay. Maybe semi lethargic, but mostly tired. She would eat treats still if I have them to her. And right now she’s okay and laying down. Ate dinner, drank water.

Alright, I’ve wanted to up and visit the ADK for a long time now.

Finally, we found the time and booked a hotel. I’m hearing about these black flies though, and I’m not trying to have my gf get eaten up when we are hiking. That’s the last thing I need, and she’ll never hike with me again then lol.

It looks like it gets bad…so now I am questioning going to the Adirondaks, and may save that for later in the summer.

But does it really get that bad? We aren’t going to the top of the peaks. But we are going to be hiking. Mostly around the Lake Placid area.

Would suck to have to change plans, but I know for sure my gf would be an unhappy camper if she was getting bit by flies..

We would be arriving for Memorial Day weekend.

In freaking out a bit here. I’ve been great for MONTHS and lost 26lbs and hit my goal weight. And now that I have hit it I am going to reduce it again, because I want to lose another 10-15 lbs.

Well this week alone has been pretty bad. I have at least been eating at maintenance, and for two days I have eaten over maintenance. And it’s starting to mentally hurt me. I’m slipping into a mental state where I am telling myself I am starting to lose my progress.

It’s like if the weight isn’t going down, then I must be going backwards. And it’s a challenge. It’s been a heck of a week for me. And in trying to maintain my normal deficit that I have for months. But every day there is something that breaks it, and I feel like food is starting to take its hold on me again.

A path I don’t want to go down. I have been working a bunch of double shifts and night shifts. Staying up for 24 hrs and it’s fucking my food schedule up, and now mentally I feel fucked up. Probably why it’s emotionally hurrying me right now.

I’m going to try and keep this short, but I’m a hiking large format film photographer.

I have a lot of gear and a 65L is pretty much the average pack size I need to carry all of my stuff. The photography gear alone takes up a ton of space.

I went to Sierra and they had a Deuter Aircontact 65+10. I purchased it, but I’m not sold after filling it with my gear.

I used to have a Deuter that I loved but unfortunately got rid of. I currently use an old Cotopaxi that I bought 10 years ago, and that wasn’t the best move. It was more uncomfortable than my old Deuter, but I had already made the change.

I wanted a newer Deuter and found it at Sierra so I was pumped. Got it for $140 - but it seems a bit disappointing. I may try to reorganize the weight.

It’s an older version, the previous generation. I wanted the new version for the pivoting hip flaps, but for $140 I figured I could deal without.

What is anyone else’s experience with this pack? Should I switch to the new version?

About 8 years ago I tried Osprey, but it was just so uncomfortable. I never found another pack as comfy as my older Deuter. Maybe the new one needs to break in?

I can return it, but only in original condition. So if I go use it then I am kind of screwed.

Any help is appreciated!

Edit: I do want to add that the main draw for the Deuter is front access. Being able to lay the bag down and open the zipper makes life so much easier for me when it’s time to put the bag down and start setting up for a shot.
