What Ive learned about Ricoh/Pentax, besides them being tightliped about everything, them releasing anything new is pretty much between "who knows" and "It gets here when it gets here"

Got a replacement part(s) for my Leofoto LM-T10 multitool. Part of the center plastic holder that holds the metal bits broke (have no idea how). Messeaged Leofoto to do a warranty for it on wednesday, and they messaged me back saying "ok, will be sending replacement part for it" & even the parts mailed out wednesday & it got to me friday. There ended up being 4 of the same part, I guess the other 3 were for backup/"in case". Didnt take that long to figure out how to take the broken part out & swap it.
Also got new foam dividers for my messenger bag, a 3-pack from Vanquest (these: FOAM DIVIDERS (S1 Small 5"x8" / 3-Pack) - Vanquest Gear). The dividers that came with my Think Tank Vision 15 were "fine", but were a bit to on the thin side for my liking & wanted some that were a bit thicker.

For me, the only filter I have on my lenses are circular polarizers, which double as my "protective" filter.

Got a 5pack of Kodak Tri-x 320 off ebay.
I had messaged a guy on another photo forum about buying some rolls from him but guess he wasnt in too much of a rush to sell, he messaged me back saying "mailing a couple rolls to you isnt worth it, just pick em up from me next time your in West LA". For me it was a hard pass, mainly cuz I dont even know when Im gonna be in LA again, and I'm not gonna spend a whole day taking the metro/train/bus to go to West LA just for a couple rolls of film.

Welp, USPS Is USPSing again. Mailed it out package on the 20th (tuesday) & it got to the usps distribution center in the guys city (Springfield, MO) on Friday, so it *could* have been delivered that day (a day early, btw) since the D.S. is ~3 blocks away from the guys place (a 15 minute drive away, at most). Its been showing "Moving through network, In Transit to Next Facility, Arriving Late" since saturday night 😤🫠
Update: finally got delivered

I have the O-ME53 eyecup also, tried it on my MZS & didnt like the eyecup on it either. I ended up putting the original FL eyecup back on it.

Sold my Mindshift Gear messenger camera bag. Its aood bag, but ended up being a smidge too small & bulky when I put my "go out & shoot street photos" gear in it (which ended up being more than I thought, even though I try to keep it minimal).
Also forgot that monday is a federal holiday & USPS is closed that day, so I'll have to wait till tuesday to mail it out.

One youtube channel I recommend watching is Karl Taylor/Visual Education Studio (here: Visual Education - YouTube), he has some informative videos on the channel when it comes to lighting, especially with product photography.

Figured Id post this here instead of the "film section" to be on the safe side.
Tldr, I had shot some film & went to a UPS that was a block away me to get it mailed out to a lab, and the lady there said they wouldn't accept it because they put packages through a CT scanner (even with ground shipping), and since its undeveloped film there was a high chance of it getting damaged, and to try going to USPS but said they even use xray & ct scanners on packages.
When I went to USPS to mail it out (which they took), I told the lady what happened with UPS, she said that the only time the USPS uses xray/ct scanners on packages is when its an international package, otherwise they use scanners that just read the barcode thats on the package.
Dont know if anybody else has had this kind of experience with UPS recently or what, figured Id give a heads up on my experiance today.

Or the classic: "Oh yeah, I rewound the film!!" Opens the back door to stare at the film still fully wound for a good couple seconds to suddenly realize *oh sh😬, I didnt rewind the film!* & quickly close the door.

Got a Leofoto LC-80 (80mm) tripod feet (here Leofoto SC-50/SC-80 Set of 3 Universal Rubber Tripod Feet 3/8" Grippy) to use on my monopod, got it for $4.50 due to having alot of saved reward points from them & used 'em to get a discount on it. I had got the smaller sized ones, the LC-50 (50mm), last year to use it my monopod, but figured Id put them on my tripod instead & use the LC80 ones on my monopod so there'd be a bit more grippy area to keep it a smidge more stable & if one ever messes up I still have two extra.
Heres a couple photos, the top one is the foot (its 80mm, 3.15"wide) next to a candle top to show the size, and the other is a foot screwed onto the bottom of the monopod.

Out of the 4 lenses I have, two of them have the og lens hood (the Tamron 28-75 came with it, bought the og hood for the Tokina 19-35), and for the Sigma 50mm macro & Sears 50mm I just got generic metal lens hoods for them from walmart. For my Kodak Monitor 620 I bought the correct adapter ring/lens hood for it

Got a Nomatic McKinnon Accessory Straps off evilbay for a few bucks cheaper than B&H/other stores. Got it mostly for the few times I may want to go out with my monopod/tripod & not want to hand carry it, and because the used Thinktank Vision 15 bag I also got off evilbay didnt come with tripod straps or raincover (dont really care not having the raincover, dont go out to shoot when its likely to rain).
