Recently repaired an expensive coffee machine for a relative. So many cheap parts inside, feels sketchy even if it's all fixed to perfect condition and works how it's supposed to. Didn't feel great giving it back as "fixed"

21yo doggo, cuddly boy. Likes guys a lot. Maybe a little too much. I take photos of furry events often. Account is SFW but not minor friendly
The older "zebra" biometar has thorium infused glass, making it slightly radioactive.
Some buttons stopped working on my EOS 6D mkII. Time to investigate.
Photo fail for today: I love how the photos turned out. They're great But the lab threw the negatives in the trash.
Two years on half brightness, it burnt in anyway. Thanks, Motorola.
Brought my old camera to a con to test if it works. Too bad the battery only lasts for eight minutes. Otherwise I would have recorded more than the last day. Now I am waiting for a new battery and a FireWire card to get the video itself.
Unemployed fat chud again. But I rebuilt my PC to AMD and added an important upgrade
I have a new camera in my collection. It's pretty nice. Clear and neutral. But the lens system is pretty limiting with how closed it is.
Been inactive as I now work as a railway safety tech. Too bad I can't publicly share pics of all the pretty looking vintage electronics.
A keyboard engineered before 1989, manufactured around 1992 I think Hall effect switches, tinned copper traces, TESLA ICs...
This seems to sum up my mainly used cameras pretty well. I don't think it's going to change much in the next bunch of years. Mirrorless is still extra expensive to switch to. Even though SLT is already kind of mirrorless.
I haven't shared anything I took on Harman Phoenix II yet. Everything dark is green for some reason. Feels more expired than my photos taken on expired Fuji Superia
I seem to have a few small holes in my shutter curtain. The biggest spot shows up in photos sometimes. But it takes almost a minute with an uncovered lens for it to appear visibly.
"film shows serious signs of expiration" Where? Yes it's 14 years expired. But where?
I'm not an artist. But I did plenty of silly things on wplace already. Some of it is just an image. Some of it is lightly edited art to fit my needs.
I knew this is fishy from the lack of a datasheet. Went through a bunch of info to find out what film this ACTUALLY is. Including buying one of them to inspect closely(sadly had to give profit to that guy). The company owner refuses to give any detail and keeps saying marketing stuff.
A wrist strap intended for an 8mm film Zenit camera. The camera is made of a solid block of cast iron. It's hard to even hold for longer. Imagine how painful it is when you drop it with this wrist strap on.
Younger Gen Z(under 19) has nostalgia for digicams. I myself grew up with film point&shoot cameras. But this camera is pretty nice. It can't do macro at all though. And you have to use NiMh batteries to get more than 20 minutes of use. Any AA batteries last barely one minute before dying.
Lovely. Buying an entire vintage camera with a lens in bad condition just to extract the takeup spool that my model misses is more affordable than buying a takeup spool.
I bought old film from Germany. The seller originally replied in english, even if I wrote in German(no it wasn't auto-translation). Today I wrote them a message about the package not being delivered even after SEVEN weeks. They got so angry at Deutsche Post that they went back to writing in German.
Tested out my Exakta Varex IIa There are some photos that went well, and some that really show the problem with lacking an original takeup spool. It sometimes slips and doesn't advance the film enough Good ones first
Zoned out for a bit. But here are some more photos taken with my Minolta Alpha 7xi Film: expired Fuji Superia 200
