It’s not a platinum Daytona, but I really like the Echo/Neutra Rivenera.

The XHalf isn't terrible. Would it have been a better shot on my iPhone? Technically, yes, most likely. But I enjoyed taking it with a camera. Framing is a little tough, as the viewfinder is rudimentary, but it reminds me a lot of my Rollei 35 in use.

At the United States Air Force Museum. I am going to need a faster computer, as the base M4 Mac Mini chugs on the files out of the GFX100RF.

I guess it’s silly to post iPhone pictures of Instax prints of 100 megapixels images.

In the fridge? Years. In the freezer? Decades.

I guess I’m fully bought into the Fujifilm ecosystem. I’ll be visiting a museum next weekend that I plan on using the RF and Xhalf at. Will post any decent shots I take. I’m really looking forward to X-pan style panos.

The GFX100RF arrived and I have time to work with it and compare it to existing gear. It gives nothing up to the Leica Q I have on build quality. EVF seems brilliant, but I’m used to older EVFs. We’ll see when I actually take pictures.

If anybody was wondering how much larger the Duo was than the Zero. The answer is “a lot,” but also “not that much.”

Omega sure makes it cheap and easy to order links.

I’ve been freezing my beans at three weeks post roast for years. Works great!

Sapphire Sandwich arrived. I neglected to make sure the stock bracelet had enough links, so it’s a good thing I had a Forstner Flat Link (which was a bear to size) ready to go. I’m very happy with it.

I “finally” upgraded my espresso grinder. Niche Duo with SSP MP. I wouldn’t say my espresso tastes any different, but the Niche Zero will sell on eBay fine. Pour over is greatly improved over the Niche Zero. Makes it worth it. Especially since the Zero will sell fine.

I got to handle a GFX100RF. It convinced me to buy one. I don’t know if I’ll keep my Q once it arrives. It’s brilliant, though. I got to handle a Hassy 907/100C, and it was cool, but very fiddly and fragile feeling. I bought a Nikon 810 with a 58 f/1.4 as well, in mint condition. I should be good on replacing my film photography.

After listening for a while (and getting the output under control: it's HOT out of the box), I think the DAC3 is a subtle audio upgrade, but a noticeable one. The voicing is just so similar to the DAC1 that I didn't notice it at first. Also, trying out DSD audio for the first time.
