Thanks! These were developed and scanned by a new lab I hadn't tried before, and they did an excellent job with all the color rolls I sent them.

I was lucky enough to snag a couple of Honeywell Nikor tanks from ebay for cheap, they're compact, don't consume a lot of chemicals, and i like how the metal reels load once i got used to them. I have two tanks and four reels for about the same price as a single patterson tank. Highly recommended, even though the plastic patterson reels might be easier to load, i wouldn't know, the metal reels haven't really given me much trouble with normal film stocks.

Nikon F. Not the most collectible film camera, but i've got the eye level prism, and it's in flawless condition after a good CLA. Use it pretty regularly, it has half a roll of Ektar still left to shoot in it at the moment.

Glad to see Tröeg's in that list! Their Perpetual IPA has been my favorite beer for years.

I found a way to use my old Nikon as a webcam using an HDMI capture card. Hooked it up to the camera's mini HDMI port and wham! had a working webcam!

But after thirty minutes, it would always switch off the live view, so i was left with a camera feed of the menus. Turns out this is an import restriction so it can be imported as a "still camera" and not a "movie camera" for significantly less taxes.

Enter some wonderful soul who found a way to hack the firmware to allow live view to stay on continuously, so now it works great as a webcam!

Nikon FE with a 28mm, 50mm, and 105mm in what used to be a carrying case for a DJI Mini.

Can confirm. For the curious: wing mirrors should be set wider than you might think. You shouldn't see any part of your car in each one, you should only see what's in the lanes next to you. Someone walking behind your car should appear in one wing mirror, then your rear view, then the other wing mirror, and not in any two of them at the same time.

Still, I glance over my shoulder when changing lanes :)

Fair enough, apologies, didn't mean to imply you were advocating for the viewpoint of others i have seen making similar statements, that we need to "do something about it", which is generally rooted in white privilege and the belief that declining birth rates are leading to the collapse of civilization.
