Oh… I see that now.

I bet that think is pretty quick either way quad engines and after burners but probably as loud as a 727-100 taking off 🤣

If you want to talk, let me know and I’ll be there for you. If you were closer, my wife’s fam would invite you to the Christmas party.

No Q400 parts? I mean those things suck, but seems like an omission
December 20, 2025 at 12:30 AM
Totally agree. Electrification should had happened ages ago
December 20, 2025 at 12:07 AM
I don’t need any of those though an OM-4 sounds cool. But also, I can’t get through all my stash 🤣🤣

There were still working without g needing any work 🤣🤣. Someone probably bought those 300s surplus and they are still running

Was about time to test out the Ukrainian Arsat-H 50mm f2 🤣

I haven’t had a lot of good luck with bricks, but the lens is pretty nice adapted to digital so I should clean up that later one I have now and give it a go.
December 19, 2025 at 2:47 PM
Actually no. It’s the original though I scanned it myself and tweaked the color balance a bit, but other stuff on the roll has that PI look.
December 19, 2025 at 2:23 PM
I get that! Just know you are always safe here no matter what.
December 19, 2025 at 2:27 AM
I have learned that my cameras aren’t the most dependable things sadly.

Anything I can do for you?
December 19, 2025 at 1:43 AM
Does seem like it’s some sort of camera problem based on your diagnosis.

Even a Nikon flash should fire from a standard hot shoe, it’ll just be at manual power settings which should be sufficient for a test (set it to like 1/16 so you don’t completely blind yourself)
December 19, 2025 at 12:57 AM
Weird. Have another flash you could try on the hot shoe and see if that triggers? Would be add that a flash mechanism would just stop working randomly
December 19, 2025 at 12:49 AM
Ugh. The manual didn’t offer anything and just said there is a port and a hot shoe 🤦‍♂️
December 19, 2025 at 12:28 AM
Sync cord issue? Not sure I have ever seen a flash issue that wasn’t a bad cord
December 19, 2025 at 12:09 AM
Looking forward to how it works for you
December 19, 2025 at 12:07 AM
Excellent lighting in this one. Well done.

Reminds me of the time I told my sister’s friend to never buy a Toyota EXHO only for us to get one a while later which she got a Matrix.

I have been told I’d do well in short for talking about film photography on TikTok but I refuse to use any of the short form video platforms
December 19, 2025 at 12:01 AM
We went to Kotor just so I could see the cats.
December 18, 2025 at 11:59 PM
I don’t know what I would do without my photography, especially film photography because I feel more connected to the process than just using my digital that about perfect at everything
December 18, 2025 at 7:55 PM
Haha. I told myself that I wouldn’t buy anything new in 2025 unless a Chinon CE Memotron / GAF L-ES cam up as it was the camera I wanted for M42.

Luckily, 80% of my gear was given to me but then it’s hard to sell something o didn’t pay for…
December 18, 2025 at 4:39 PM
So my marketing idea of “What if..?” Is probably off the table then… 🤣

That’s pretty much how I buy gear now… what if I had ALL the Nikon manual focus 50mmm lens variations 🤷‍♂️
