  1. Finally tried scanning MF on my rig. Definitely not as easy as scanning 135 slides, but it does work. I scanned each 6x7 frame (these are from my Mamiya RB67) using two overlapping shots, and stitched them in LightRoom. Depending on the crop they ended up at about 45-50mp each. I also finally busted out the macro rail I bought a month ago (didn’t need it for 135 scanning). It works well. I only have a handful of reversal film images (2 rolls), but here are a few examples. I think they turned out well. I have posted the lab scan versions of these before, so sorry that they aren’t new. I could do the same with color negative film, but I haven’t bought Negative Lab Pro yet. There’s some dust I missed cloning out (need to to a better job making sure the film stays clean next time), and some of these are kind of uninteresting, but this is a test more than anything. The goal was to be as good or better than the lab, and I think I did accomplish that. I also MUCH prefer my processing to the lab’s. It seems like the Noritsu scanners they are using leave a green cast/WB. Ekatachrome E100 | Mamiya RB67
  2. Amazing as always, man.
  3. Bunch of beyblades out there.
  4. Herta drifting.
  5. Good action on the opening laps.
  6. What about Steamin’? Walkin’ is good but is a comp from earlier recordings. Steamin’ is part of the Workin/Relaxin/Cookin quartet.
  7. Meant to add: that hot part of the trumpet recording is really only the first track anyway.
  8. This one has been a little polarizing over on Steve Hoffman. IMO, Bernie tends to master things pretty flat and mostly as they were recorded, which let the shrill Harmon mute shine here. I like mine. I have a decent Bergenfield 2nd pressing too, and the new one is a bit more clear and present.
  9. Nice. I have some babies, too. I don’t hardly drive since I WFH, so some kind of warbler (I think) made a nest in my vehicle wheel well. Not as cool as screech owls, though. Was kinda surprised they hatched since I noticed them the last time I drove and was away from home, but that was before they hatched. Since I park in the same spot, guess momma found em easily enough again.
  10. Expanding on the paddock stuff:
  11. They just waited for after the race.
  12. No porpoising so far, even from Ferrari and Merc. Likely due to lower DF, though. Need to see Merc slam that ride height down and see how it does.
  13. The straights are long enough here that there should be passing at least.
  14. This is really going to improve their wet traction.
  15. Could be for WEC.
  16. It helped that I had bought this thing for only about $25, but it worked out fine and continues to take good, sharp images.
  17. Found them. You use the rubber stopper thing to remove the trim ring, then the spanner to remove the ring that holds the outer element, which then just kind of comes out. Then the aperture assembly comes out. I think I just soaked it in acetone (nail polish remover), but can’t remember for sure. Manually actuated it a lot to work the acetone between the blades to dissolve the oil, waited for it to dry, then re-assembled.
  18. They are pretty easy to take apart if you want to try to fix it. I fixed my FD 50 1.4 SSC myself that suffered from that issue. Let me see if I have photos of it. You’ll need this: Neewer Camera Lens Openning Repairing Tool Kit Includes: 10-100mm Lens Repair Set with 3 Tips, 6 Screws and 2 Hexagon Wrench for Canon Nikon Sony Olympus DSLR Camera https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0734PH87W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WYPBQT7HT5THXVZ8QXJ2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 And something like this, BUT you can probably find a grommet or something similar in the hardware section at Walmart. I think that’s what I did.

  19. Yeah, Trevor’s great. A true F1 fan, too.
  20. Sky published some more footage and a one-on-one that Lewis and Valentino Rossi did back in 2020 when they did the F1 car/MotoGP bike swap. Pretty cool. I didn’t realize that Lewis did 59 laps at Valencia (the MotoGP circuit not the old street circuit) a few days before this with Morbidelli (also peep James Vowles there, both he and Bono ride as well). That must have been a tiring day. Also, Rossi says that at one point in 2006 he was kinda close to driving for Ferrari, but ultimately says he wasn’t as good on 4 wheels as he was on 2, and since he wasn’t “ready” to stop riding, he continued with motorcycles.
  21. If one of them hasn’t recovered by then I would think they’d use Herbie Blash for the weekend. I do think that he’d have to inspect the new surface too, though. Not saying he can’t do that, but I am not sure how that process works.
  22. Nuance is hard.
  23. I should say, he did try to buy out Haas a bunch of times (and had a preliminary deal with Sauber), but currently they are trying to become a new entry.
  24. The former.
  25. Ferrari Driver Academy is pretty bare at the moment. They have Schwartzman in F2 who is OK and is Ferrari’s current test driver, but he’s not spectacular (he’s also Russian, but competes under the Israeli flag now), and Arthur Leclerc in F3 who is ok but not even close to what his brother is.
