1 2GB Crucial & 4 2GB Samsung Dimms of DDR3 1333Mhz RAM from a trusted Ebay site. $12 US was too good a price for me. Useful for old Dell and HP upgrades.

I got a HB-7 hood with some Amazon credit for the 80-200 2.8D (N) arriving later this week. Might have VASTLY underestimated the sheer size of this lens.........77mm filter size....mother of god

Apple Watch Series 2. Old, yes. That's fine. If I got a newer one I'd run into "update yer phone" issues (which I am not doing because I like having a jailbreak). Plus, watchOS 7 removed Force Touch which I really like. Got the watch plus charger plus screen protector for $53. Good deal!

However, when it arrived today, I quickly noticed a problem.

It don't fit!
I ordered a Sport S/M band it should arrive Wednesday. In the meantime I shoved the thing halfway up my arm.
I use it for media controls mostly.

That 80-200 is 1.3kg of chonky goodness.

A couple weeks with it and you'll be ready to lug the Sigma 200-500 2.8 around. :rockout:

The screen on the OLED one I got yesterday is really nice, had both now and it'll be interesting a high power version with OLED. I'm reall a fan of the switch.

Why don't you just cut a hole?

The black one is already homebrewed, the pink haven't tried and the switch lite no

I did a test fit without cutting a hole, it wraps around and covers the sensor.

I need to buy bulk CR2032 batteries, it's worse than flashdrives buying online - half the reviews say the damned things are fake or old stock with degraded voltages out of the box

this is one benefit of having physical walmart stores in America, as much as I dislike them as a company, they act as a really good "filtration" for quality control. and they have everything like that you just listed as well

Since I love the Altec Lansing brand, I crawl the whole web until I found this Altec bundle set from Amazon France. The brand proves me why they are the best yet again. This is excellent
