Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Recently 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" 000
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 14/06/2026The older "zebra" biometar has thorium infused glass, making it slightly radioactive. 020
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Trying to use masks in front of a lens to manipulate bokeh shape 020
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Conclusion: Everything was perfectly fine inside. Just the connector was loose 000
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Official steps to take the back off include: Peel the textured rubber off like an orange 100
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Some buttons stopped working on my EOS 6D mkII. Time to investigate. 110
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 07/06/2026So...no way of getting prints done from the original negatives. 100
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Photo fail for today: I love how the photos turned out. They're great But the lab threw the negatives in the trash. 130
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 06/06/2026HOLY BLOATWARE. That's after a factory reset. The apps come back after uninstalling, sometimes even more apps than before. Often three different apps for each purpose or game type Had to force it through ADB and remove motoapps with some other apps related to it. 010
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Two years on half brightness, it burnt in anyway. Thanks, Motorola. 120
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Brought 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. 030
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 16/04/2026Unemployed fat chud again. But I rebuilt my PC to AMD and added an important upgrade 010
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Multiple standard lenses for EF mount sold under different brands than Canon are indeed just the same lens with a different case. They often have canon branding under the shell. 100
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Sony A was my previous system. Plenty different lenses. Including old Minolta lenses. Sony E might be similar, just without the Minolta part. 100
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Most of these aren't available in my country at all. And the rest costs double than elsewhere in the world. 100
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 05/02/2026120 lenses? Only around eight types are actually available on the used market. No third party lenses. Only remakes of existing canon lenses with a different badge. 100
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 04/02/2026It might be an expensive model. But I got it really cheap from a video company. I miss sensor stabilization from my older Sony. But I have to fix it. 100
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 04/02/2026I 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. 4323
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Been 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. 010

Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 02/10/2025Hand-signed by the person who put it together back in the day. Graphite seems a bit risky around electronics. 000
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 02/10/2025A keyboard engineered before 1989, manufactured around 1992 I think Hall effect switches, tinned copper traces, TESLA ICs... 110
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 01/10/2025Basically the same photo. Just taken with a Canon PowerShot SX120 from around 2011 I could close the aperture down if it wasn't cloudy and have more of the cameras in focus. But still nicer to see natural blur of a camera than my phone's AI trying to un-blur the image. 110
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 30/09/2025I keep forgetting how horrible my "flagship" phone is at taking photos. 100
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 30/09/2025This 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. 110
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 19/09/2025Even tried applying for the job they have listed but they only want people with years of experience in a commercial lab. Got refused because they don't want interns even if I have some experience with scanners and already operated industrial machinery with chemicals. 110
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 19/09/2025I might try scanning it myself and see if there is any difference. I noticed the physical prints don't look so green and the dullness of red is also weaker. I tried to talk with the owner of the lab but he refuses to share any details to curious people. 110
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 19/09/2025I 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 230
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 19/09/2025Yeah mine have almost unnoticeable grain. I've had fresh film come out from developing with much more grain(Phoenix II 200) 010
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 19/09/2025I 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. 000
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 19/09/2025The lab report has that written. The only thing I see is a slight increase in grain in dark areas. Severe signs of expiration would be a complete color shift. 110
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 19/09/2025Camera: Exakta Varex IIa from 1956 Lens: Zeiss Biotar 58mm f/2 000
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 19/09/2025"film shows serious signs of expiration" Where? Yes it's 14 years expired. But where? 230
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 02/09/2025I'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. 100
Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · 17/08/2025I also can't stop eating it. I sometimes eat an entire bowl. 010
