I freaking love this Zhongyi Speedmaster 65/1.4 lens for the Fujifilm GFX system. Total Pentax 105/2.4 vibes 😍

Some pictures from the first day with the new lens! It's a Zhongyi Optics Mitakon Speedmaster f/1.4, in Fuji GFX mount, and the images it produces have that Pentax 67 105mm/2.4 look. It's a manual focus lens, which is kinda hard to focus at such a big aperture […] [Original post on fedi.gosha.net]

I can't say I like the new Nova UI in #Firefox. Why make the bookmark bar stand out so much? And do we really need things to be rounder? First screenshot is Nova look, second screenshot is the previous UI.

A screenshot of Firefox with the new Nova UI, with a focus on the top left corner of the window. The bookmark bar has a different background colour than the rest of the window chrome, the tabs in the sidebar are circles instead of squircles, and the top left corner of the browser viewport is inexplicably rounded

A screenshot of Firefox with the old UI, with a focus on the top left corner of the window. The top-left corner of the viewport is still slightly rounded, but overall there's much less flourish for the sake of flourish
