Made a little Minecraft handpan video

A while ago I posted a short clip of Aria Math and someone asked for a full version. This still isn’t the full thing, but I finally put together a longer take and combined two of my hobbies - my old love for filmmaking and my new obsession with handpan.

Still learning, Hope you enjoy it!

Played on D kurd 14.

Did I overpay for this used D Kurd 14 handpan?

I recently bought this used 14-note D Kurd handpan for 2,600 PLN, which is about $700. I trusted the sale because it was offered on behalf of some friend by a Polish handpan dealer who professionally sells instruments from various makers. I’m now aware that it is probably a cheap Temu/Amazon handpan, although it was supposedly professionally retuned to A=432 Hz around six months ago. I’ve only been playing for a week, so I’m attaching a video how does the instrument sound to you, and do you think I overpaid or got completely ripped off? What do you think about the sustain?

Weird mark under the front element on my Sigma 18-50mm

​

Hi everyone,

​

I own Sony a6700 + Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 and yesterday I noticed this strange wrinkled/rough-looking mark under what seems to be the front element. The lens has never been opened or taken apart, and I don’t remember hitting it.

​

It looks like a small folded or wavy patch inside the lens, not on the outer glass. Could this be caused by heat/sunlight, condensation, glue, or some internal coating issue? Do you think it can get worse over time, or is it probably harmless if image quality looks fine?

​

Any advice would be appreciated.
