Photos Latest Purchases Thread: v2.0

AKG K702's, absolutely loving them. I bought them a few weeks ago but I've not had much chance to use them, the few chances I have got have been brilliant though.

 

I own a K701 and absolutly love 'em. They do need a long burn-in time though (over 200 hours). They will only get better and better with time .

 

This and all pre-loaded ready to go.

 

I always wondered why the old photos on the walls at my grandparents looked so great. So I asked about it and and my grandmother grabbed this long unused, nearly mint Olympus-35 SP with still working lightmeter (this is quite rare apparently) out of the closet and gave it to me.

What a beautiful camera (with a ridiculously good lens, according to the interweb). They really don't make 'em like this any more.
Focusing with a rangefinder still feels a bit tricky for now, but I can already tell you could get really quick with a bit of practice. It's quite a clever system.

Bonnet protector?

Looking at getting one for my Civic once the bonnet is resprayed, so many stone chips

 

Struggling to find this style

 

Best bet is either going to be Team Heko or Australian Ebay those kind of thing are very popular out there.

 

It's a Ford - Buy a spare bonnet in the correct colour, it'd be easier!

I've not seen good bonnet guards for anything newer than a Series 2 RST.

 

Well, technically I didn't buy it. My dad did. And not for me, but for my baby brother (kid's 14 and plays like a demon). I made it clear that I wanted it, but didn't have the loose change, hence me pointing out what may be the bargain of the century to my dad (as a bday present for my little brother):

Just to elaborate: That's a (as the pic says) Music Man Axis Supersport (though the particular one bought has a maple fretboard). Normal retail on those is about 2100 USD. This got picked up in perfect nick for <600 USD

 

Oh YUM. That is a lovely instrument. Hope your brother enjoys it!

 

iPhone 6 64Gb in Black.
4Gb Unlimited texts/minutes contract.

First 'new' phone in 5 years. I wish they could just stick the hardware from the 6 into my old 4, as that was the perfect sized phone IMHO

 

Good choice! I've owned one of every generation of iPhone now, and the 6 is definitely the best yet, a big improvement over the disappointment of the 5S. I had a colleague's 4S in my hands today setting up their exchange mail account and it is remarkable how small it is compared to the 6. My phone is even bigger because it's wearing an Element Case Sector Pro case which adds considerably to the size.

Watching my friend who is tiny and therefore has small hands try to use my phone whilst I was working on hers today was comical, using it one handed was completely impossible for her! She's due an upgrade soon because the old 4S is getting very tired and doesn't work all the time, but holding the 6 today put her off one completely. I think a 5C would be much more suitable, another colleague has one and it's a much better fit in her wee hand!

 

I'd prefer to have a 5c/s due to size but it makes little sense not going for the newer model when the price difference was so low..

Aaand the fact they've stopped doing a 32Gb model is just evil sales tactics. Hmpf.

 

The size of the 6 has grown on me, and I've become accusomed to using reachability when one handed. I wouldn't go back to a 32GB phone even if they were still selling them. 64GB just gives so much more space for activities! My 32GB 5S was always full.

 

Issue #159, there will never be another magazine quite like this one.

 

I'm glad someone got that reference!
