Secret Santa 2025 sorted.

I found the trick to getting cheap good Takumars (or M42 lenses) is buying them attached to cameras, although it means you will end up with…

I think we just uncovered a community of Pentax/M42 enthusiasts on OzB!

I've had this lens for close to 15 years. It is auto focus - in the earlier Pentax K-mount SLR/DSLR systems the AF motor is in the camera…

Wow - when this came out I really wanted it and there was a author signed box version for $80+ but didn't end up getting. At this price its…

Also vintage lenses. ie fully manual M42 prime lenses from the 1960s & 70s - they have found a resurgence adapted to digital bodies or for…

Tubes are fairly generic. They are generally sized in an approximate range rather than needing to be precise, so for a 700x25c tyre you can…

Yeah I pulled the trigger on this. At the $20 price point there is the armadillos which are discounted down, or there is the RoadSport…

nice, I went for the 25mm armadillos that are still in stock. Was clicking thru the page figuring out what I wanted - in the end I went for…

Today's 105 is Di2 for the people though!

Ah I see. 50c per $250 is still a good rate, versus the usual 1% for credit cards.

Assuming its no fee to buy (considered a purchase & not cash), and you get the rewards points from buying the GC with a CC. Since ATO (or…

they use third-party providers, who's sole core business is specializing in mapping bank feeds (like hundreds of different banks). A lot of…

I've been using PocketSmith for a good 4~5yrs, still very happy with them. Previously when they used Basiq for the internet banking that…

It's also possible that either MJS account got hacked, or is a scammer who never had a property for listing at all (ie cloned a random…

interesting they are now selling so many variants with different groupsets! $2.3K for the 105 spec sounds good was that with the same zipp…

I saw one in Decathlon Hong Kong - not the full AGR2 TDF replica spec, but with SRAM Force in white. Priced at 39,999HKD so just under $8K…

I guess with tyres there's a bit of trial and error as there are other real world influences like tread pattern that's difficult to express…

It's a reasonable deal. I actually posted a deal for this exact bike for $999 back in 2021 (?) I believe, so now with inflation the price…

No (to @brettd), because that's not how a margin loan mechanism works. 50k is just the loan's limit. When you first open the margin account…

Similar prices to previously posted deals. Picked one up with free delivery & confirmed shipped.

There's also BSAC, which I'm guessing is relatively unknown outside of the UK but dates back older than PADI

Also a cheap way to do a refresher course if already PADI certified but haven't dived for a while.

Signed up on the web, no credit. I installed the app and the $1.25 appeared.

From my own tracking, the Macq Bank FX rate is about ~5% worse than the Google mid rate, but no fees charged by MB but a small (100-200yen)…

We had a few powder days but it was not a good season as earlier years, but as an overall experience, still beats the Aust snow so can't…

yup was there for the snows in Rusutsu, so the upcoming trip will be a very diff (and hot) experience... In my Jan trip I was using a…

I've been loading up JPY into my WISE debit card over time, which I plan to use there for an upcoming trip in July. I was there in Jan/Feb…

I have this bike. The brake is TRP HY/RD which as you said is cable actuated to the calipers where it is then hydraulic pistons. This setup…

finding out about this vshod site for cheap blades is the true deal of this post.
