I have been going down the anamorphic rabbit hole for ages now. The more I learn, the less I know. I have discovered some fascinating bits of trivia along the way.
This guy's 🇫🇷 accent is something else, but the camera is spectacular in its insanity.
Also, Cool Story Bro: the fence at the 4 minute mark in the video is a rather famous one in Paris. A guy I know on Flickr photographed it in 2006 with an 85L. Note the 1/8000 shutter speed. His 5D classic was crying.
And after all that headed down to Burlingame to catch up with Joannes tall Australian nephew to hear all about his project work for Nvidia before catching the red eye back to New York.
He very kindly gave us his'n'hers house warming gifts from Joannes sisters and himself.

^^ I remember watching that last month, and I don't think I shared it. My main disappointment is that it cannot be restored. The footage does not seem to exist. So it just made me sad. I remember the last time I watched the movie, I didn't know these issues, but things just felt off. I didn't catch the continuity issues directly.
My favourite discovery of 2025 is Kardi, mostly because of this insanely under-rated powerhouse of a singer, Kim Yeji. I haven't heard them do songs like these two (I'll post the other one in another thread), before, respect.

Can you tell the difference between the Desert Tan in the South Facing "Primary" bedroom - the previously accepted term is no longer PC, apparently,
And the Rich Cream in the north facing bedrooms/planned offices. ?
the power of that part is 170mw. so the stn0214 should work. make sure the pinout is correct.
mouser has thousands of ksc5026 in stock.
the extra diode cannot hurt. not sure what it is supposed to do.
