    Just moved house, and the boiler flue is kinda pointing upwards.. does this need a cap to prevent rain ingress? Ta!

    The µ43 thread - welcome to the really dark side

    my father in law had slowed down with photography and stopped taking his Nikon out due to the size and weight - we got him an em-5 ii for his birthday and he's been taking pictures literally every day since. I love mine, and even with an L-bracket and the 12-40 pro it's still small and light...

    I fixed that issue by putting some electrical tape on the valves - you'll need to take the tubes out though to tape where they sit on the rim.

    Which Garmin do you use and why?

    Can't recommend the Wahoo Bolt enough - grabbed one after my 810 crashed and lost the recording halfway through a 316 mile charity ride - it had done similar on smaller previous rides and I just gave up on it. It also dropped connection to my speed/cadence sensors all the time - annoying during...

    I don't have a CDF but I've got a Genesis Equilibrium and it's a lovely frameset imo. Have you thought about building your own? I paid less than those bikes for a Genesis frameset with Di2 hydraulic and deep section carbon so if you don't mind DIY it's definitely great value (maybe slightly...

    chain links - isn't it just big-big, pull it taught, then add two links? Also, I'm itching to get some oversize jockey wheels after seeing Chavanel's during the tour today!

    they don't have much in the way of wide-rim high-spoke wheels! tbh I'd just get this cheap wheelset https://www.evanscycles.com/mavic-aksium-6-bolt-700c-road-clincher-wheelset-EV287173 ..and then keep it as a spare set once you get a better set of chinese carbon clinchers imported ;)

    The µ43 thread - welcome to the really dark side

    I got the 17mm super cheap as it looked damaged - and I've found that after a while the MF clutch has stopped working. I can still manually focus using the focus ring, but it's probably not worth selling now - I'll just keep it as my evening standard lens. Reckon I'll swap out the 14-150 for...

    The µ43 thread - welcome to the really dark side

    So now I've got the 12-40 f2.8 on the way, I need to re-think my lens collection - I reckon some of it is no longer needed! I'll have: Samyang 12mm f2.0 Olympus 12-40 f2.8 Pro Olympus 14-150 ii Olympus 17mm f1.8 Olympus 60mm f2.8 Macro I reckon I can drop the Samyang now and just use the 17mm...

    The µ43 thread - welcome to the really dark side

    splurged on a 12-40 f2.8 pro! A few years ago I'd have thought spending this much on a lens was beyond obscene :D

    I don't believe such adaptors exist - only the other way round. You'd be best off getting a post-mount set like the ST-RS685, but they're quite costly new. Might actually be worth buying a second hand bike with hydraulics and swapping the brakeset off!

    The Indoor Riding/ Zwift/ TrainerRoad etc. Thread

    Tried this today - it doesn't have my Elite Chrono Fluid trainer listed, but it has "Elite fluid - red roller" which I thought would be the same. I then proceeded to get a free additional 150W or so whilst zooming past everyone with ease. Shame, as the Zwift sub is extortionate! Will def be...

    Platypus' Beginners Guide to Running

    just had a look at that onthegomap.com and it doesn't seem to be any use for off-road - it's missing all the trails that run through my local forest. I use gb.mapometer and ridewithgps, as you can switch between gmaps and OSM to see the off-road sections.

    Lightroom workflow

    Surely you'd want the print to be from the final edited raw though, rather than the unprocessed jpg? Just export to jpg once you've finished processing, and keep both the raw and the final jpg.

    Steams Dualshock 4 support

    Steam support means you can configure the DS4 in the same way you can configure the Steam Controller. For example, you can set the dpad to act like a thumbstick, or you can set any button you wish to perform any action. You can even have screen shortcuts on different parts of the touchpad. I've...

    Bridge camera recommendation

    The FZ1000 is the only one I'd choose to use here - the others are basically phone cameras with optical zoom. If you ever thought that your phone pictures weren't good enough quality (disregarding zoom), then you're not going to think much better of the cameras with 1/2.3 sensors. 1" would be...

    Anyone got a wireless TTL flash setup? I've got an e-m5 ii and a meike 302 flash, tried some neewer radio triggers but they were DOA so I'm looking for recommendations. Not adverse to getting a second flash of required!

    Spec me/advice - noob looking for a decent camera

    I'm assuming that E-M10 II price is without a lens? Owning both an RX100 and a E-M5 II, I pick up the Olympus about 90% of the time tbh - but you need to factor in the cost of the lens for your budget.
