I always dreamed of getting a Canon F1 when I had FD lenses. I found the AE1(p) super frustrating to shoot manually because of their meter displays. No idea if the price is good though.

I've been offered a Canon new F1 for €250. It doesn't look bad... do you think it's worth it if I already have the AE1p? PS: I've figured out why I've had so many problems connecting to the forum since last year... those bastards at "LaLiga" (Spanish football league) block Cloudflare whenever there are official matches. Te reason: Piracy... and I don't even like football. Now i need to use Cloudflare WARP.

Hi Spritzer, Thanks for the photos, do you know the purpose of PNP transistor on the up right corner, I checked mine, it's fzt795a and looks like all feet are connected to GND. Thanks.

Needs Banana for scale.

Promotional stress reliever from a company that makes ear plugs.

Nice day

Hi Ari!

Likely the last long training ride was accomplished today. I didn't start out intending to ride this far, but it happened and felt good.

Little bit out of my normal wheelhouse. Drove Alec back to Dallas today and he made me listen to country all the way.

In the cat's defense, there was no more practical way to get on top of the speaker.

"I'm gonna scratch the shit out of those speaker grills."

I don't know what this says about me that I'm almost done listening to it, and I'm still not sure if it's serious or not. So A+ for artiste-ness and straight-faced delivery. Unrelated: have you ever listened to my ..."album"? It's...experimental for lack of a better word.

I love seeing Kaki King play. I've seen her in smallish places but not in front of only 50 people! In SF she draws much bigger. She's most often been quite chatty at shows I've seen.

Saw Kaki King last night, small venue in Southern Maine about 1.5 miles from my condo. She is so good! I described it on FB as feeling like being by a lake with gentle waves lapping onto the shore - at least her mellower songs. Then she would break out into her frenetic playing with body hits for rhythm, and fast finger moving and fret-playing. She even got pretty talkative with the audience. I guess it was her 3rd time playing the place; maybe 50 people there, but they were true fans.

Reminds me a bit of Caspar Brotzmann Massacre, without.....a lot......

It sounds AIsh

Couldn't afford a video but it's still a vibe.

Yay Ben Webster!

Hey we are back!!! Ben Webster Meets Oscar Peterson by Ben Webster (1959) https://open.qobuz.com/album/0060253773074 Example: Friday coolness.

Not serious, but true. Oh! Well I wasn't alive back then, so that's my excuse (for not knowing that). I did say "AFAIK", so that's just not very far, innit. 🙃 Me now: not sure who this is, but I dig it: https://tidal.com/artist/57622719/u

Not serious, but true. 1954: Capitol issued Classics in Jazz: Miles Davis (T-762), compiling the 12 recordings from the famous Birth of the Cool sessions. Later in 1957: Capitol retitled/reissued the LP as Birth of the Cool. Cool is so much cooler.

These are available for preorder now: https://apos.audio/products/sjy-argos-electrostatic-headphones?utm_campaign=hyperfuse_last_day+%2801KZW4554JVNW58G1HET4TN43W%29&utm_medium=email&utm_source=alex_nongdpr_never_subbed_active_180&_kx=cd77Rbf3yu6_OAujM-M4VU1ihuQFsjtyVcb-jl8r-OKxvi62Czezy2yxdLQUUnAj.Ldk8SW&variant=48186260947180 List price is 1800$... yeah no that is a hard pass for me. Just as a point of reference, how bad this has to be for me not to buy one. I'm a degenerate electrostatic headphone collector with pretty much every set ever made in my collection... even weird prototypes which never went anywhere.
