advice on airport transportation

Hi! Previously, I’ve travelled to and from Venizelos by X95 or metro, but those were always during regular hours. During my next travel I’ll be arriving in Athens around 3 a.m., so I’ll probably be out of the airport by around 4 a.m. Since I’m staying near Evangelismos, I thought I could just take the X95, but I’m not so sure about taking it that early in the morning. As an alternative, would you recommend using FreeNow or just taking an airport taxi? And how does FreeNow work at the airport?

Basically, I’m choosing between an uncomfortable and potentially scary commute on the X95 and the possibility of getting scammed by an airport taxi haha. Looking forward to your recommendations.

is something off with my scans?

I recently got two of my rolls developed. I shot these with Ultramax 400 / Olympus XA2. I used a different place to develop the film than I normally do, and I feel like something is slightly off. Firstly, both scans overall look much more greener than the previous ones I had developed. Mind you, these were taken in the same place, during the same season, etc. Secondly, the pictures are blurry. I am not calling myself a great photographer, but I think some of them are not due to my hand shaking, or my failure at focusing. Now I'm curious if there was an issue during the scanning, or if my camera is having some issues, or I just took really bad pictures.
I would love to know your opinion!

Some sort of chess piece related transformation scene

I am at a loss trying to remember an anime I watched as a kid in the 90s. All I remember is that there was a boy and a girl, and the boy somehow transformed with chess pieces? I think he had wings? I think he had the black pieces and she had the white ones and there was a salior moon-esque transformation scene. Lots of ribbons. I think the chess pieces maybe had needles?

This is all I can remember. Can anyone name this anime?

Keep or return?

Just got this OM1n online, and it arrived today. I have a couple of hours to decide if I want to keep it or return it. This is the first time I am using something other than a point and shoot. The camera came with a lot of dirt on it and I don't know if these parts can be cleaned. Could someone advise if I can clean these dust particles? Some of it seems to be inside the lens.

Edit: Thank you all so much! I will fiddle with it a bit more according to your comments and the guide, and I think I will keep it!

Arch blisters

Another summer, and my Birks are once again giving me blisters on my arch. I wore them for two hours today and was in pain at the end. So I wanted to ask those who might have a better idea- are these too small for me? I am aware that my toes touch the box slightly, but I'm afraid if I sized up then my heels would have too much space.

Thank you!

deciding between 1460 and 1460 bex

Hi! I'm looking for advice from people who own (or have owned) both models.

I currently have a pair of Jadons in UK size 6, and I find them very comfortable now. They did take a couple of months to break in, but with silicone heel protectors and some patience, they've become very comfortable.

Lately, though, I've been moving around a lot more for work, and I'm finding the Jadons a bit too heavy and clunky to carry around. I'd like to switch to a lighter model, but I cannot decide between the regular 1460 and the 1460 Bex.

My initial thought was to go with the regular 1460, but I've seen quite a few comments saying that the Bex sole is especially comfortable. For those who have tried both, how do they compare in terms of comfort, weight, and overall feel?
