I'm not sure wether I love or **** eBay. Expecting some packages this week... a film scanner and 9 film cameras in total. Sigh.

[BozoBubble]

Woah, going full OG with the photography. Are you using the cameras for car stuff?

[Kielan]

blah

Yeah, use it for everything haha.
I've been shooting film for a bit now with a rebranded Yeshiva TL-super and have fallen in love. The 9 cameras I've got on the way is actually just stuff I found on eBay so cheap that I couldn't say no to! One Canon Eos 500 that will allow me to use my existing Canon Lenses with film for 7€ plus shipping and a lot of 8 Minolta AF cameras, the AF 5000, 7000 and a few of the Dynax / Maxxam range that are all in working order, for 25€.

Finally got in touch with ze Germans, and they have pointed me in the correct direction, all things for media creds looking up.

[Dr.AK]

Very nice!

Any Mac users here?

I got a older Macbook Pro for free a while ago, trying to figure out what ways there are to run multiple external monitors on it.

Nice Kielan, I'm super jealous.

I'm a mac guy, but I have no idea how to run an external monitor. Would like to know for future reference.

Yeah what's up, which one you got?

[SebastienPeek]

Depends what year Macbook Pro, either HDMI or DisplayPort to HDMI is probably going to be your best bet.
Also depends on what screen you're connecting to.

I've noticed a huge loss in frame rates when using DisplayPort to DVI or VGA, old technologies are old.

Bike's aftermarket seat and exhaust may be sold tomorrow. Gonna pick up a new lower seat and shorter exhaust soon.

New set up for ODB may be happening soon too.

[SebastienPeek]

Hell yeah CJ!
What's the new route for ODB?

[Dr.AK]

It's a 15" inch Macbook Pro from 2009.

I've got two halfway decent iiyama displays at home that I've been using for years on my Windows machine. Would like to plug them into the Mac for photo editing stuff, although it's not really necessary. I'm mostly planning on using the Mac for editing on the road.

[SebastienPeek]

09 requires a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter to use HDMI cable.
There's a ton of DisplayPort adapters for hooking up external screens, but dongles suck in my opinion

[theseeker411]

What's the new route for ODB?

Static, naturally aspirated, and 17"s.

[SebastienPeek]

Nice nice, static will be good fun!

I always found it weird to go from bagged Subaru to static Golf though aha
