I normally have the 90% one, as you never see the 100% in shops so I haven't tried it. My local store had no stock but there's a space for it and it's online. Anyone tried it?
Hi All, long time lurker and somewhat of a beginner. I bought a K&F ND1000000 filter last year with a view to taking some eclipse shots later today. I have a Nikon D3200 and I wanted to check my settings as they seem to be different to what AI says. Gemini says ISO100, f9ish, 1/1000s either side of maximum obscurity and take the filter off at that mid point, with settings staying much the same. Thing is I'm getting poor results practicing on a full sun. My settings are (with a Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 55-300mm 1:4.5-5.6 G ED lens) ISO1600, F9, 1/50s and anything less than that gives me hardly any image. WB is set to direct sunlight, lenses set to manual focus. Does that sound about right or am I doing something terribly wrong? Maybe the wrong lens? Thanks!
Currently available from Argos, order today 11th, collection from Sainsbury's 14th.
I began applying a few days ago for Revolut accounts a few days ago. All seemed to go well until being asked to provide information about my business for a Pro account. By this time I had been allowed to pay for two cards. I don't have any online presence but was asked to provide one, but I don't need it for the line of work I'm in, which is completely legitimate. I made this clear a number of times to both the chat bots and (I'm told) real operatives, although I'm sceptical that some of these 'real' people were automated due to the consistencies in responses.
I was told numerous times that I didn't need any sort of website to qualify, and I uploaded numerous other documents to evidence my profession; licenses, certificates, public liability insurance, invoices etc. Each time I did this it was rejected and I was asked for my website. This happened probably 5 or 6 times until I was eventually told I needed to provide one, so my only option is to close the accounts. It's taken hours of repeating myself over and over again to get to this point, and now Revolut have refused to refund the cost of the cards.
So to anyone thinking of using Revolut as a bank, be aware that their system for dealing with customer problems is about the worst I've ever come across. It's truly awful. I know there are a lot of satisfied customers here but I guess they may well have the same experience when something goes wrong and the bots can't cope with it. Short but sweet but I will never go anywhere near Revolut ever again and would actively try and dissuade anyone from considering it.
Hi All. I have a business account with Monzo and my personal current account is with First Direct. There are things I don't like about both, FD are very good with customer service but their statement system is very outdated. Monzo, for some reason, won't give me a current account but are happy having me as a business customer. I don't really need a full on business account (sole trader self-employed UK) so think the Pro option that Revolut offer would be appropriate. It feels like it would make a lot of sense to have everything under one roof ie personal/business accounts and credit card (which I would only use for business purchases. I have had the same current account for decades, and I'm a bit nervous about the transfer process. Is it as smooth as it seems or will there likely still be some minor ballache? The business stuff I could do manually as there isn't much to it. Thanks.
Hi All. I'm considering getting a Cirqa but have a couple of questions about the band. Firstly, what colour is closer to skin colour (I'm white and lightly tanned), the Mauve or French Grey? The images I see online all look entirely different; the FG one sometimes looks beige in some photos, more white in others, the mauve sometimes looks like skin colour. Well my skin anyway. Secondly I have 165mm wrists so I'm not sure what size to get, if anyone has anything wise to share there. I'd obviously go into a shop and have a look but everywhere is out of stock. Thanks.
Hi All, long time lurker, I don't post or comment much here but have always enjoyed learning things from people way more knowledgeable than me.
I'm at the stage of life where I've lost a significant chunk of hearing at the voice level and slightly above, ie around 1kHz to 4kHz but it improves at 8kHz. I'm not quite at the hearing aid stage yet but two audiologists have recommended them. I guess that's me digging my heels in so it's probably inevitable at some point. I have a Denon X4400H and have been looking at settings and wondering if there might be something in there which may help? I've use the EQ in my car system to increase those frequencies and it seems to have helped somewhat. I've considered turning the MultiEQ stuff off on the AVR and doing something similar (haven't tested it yet) but was wondering if there were any other settings which might assist? Thanks.
