Hi everyone.

I have here for sale my IBM Model F (XT version) keyboard. This is one of the ultimate mechanical keyboards.

I bought this on eBay and when I got it... I got a Teensy converter and loaded up Soarers Converter. It was working great. But when I moved here to Melaka it stopped working.

I really do not know why it stopped working. Maybe the converter developed a problem? I just no longer have the time to work on these older interests and hobbies of mine...

If you are someone handy with some electronics skills, or you know someone who is... perhaps you can get it working again.
Physically the keyboard is in really excellent original condition.

It is such a joy to type on! It's the Leica of keyboards

Anyway... selling it as is.... closest offer to RM 400 gets it.

Because it is so damn heavy.... buyer is definitely paying for shipping!

If you are in Melaka, I'm in the Batu Berendam area. You can come by take a look in that case.

If you are in Kuala Lumpur and you buy it, I will hop on the next available bus and personally deliver it to you at any LRT station in the Klang Valley.

If you like, I welcome a WhatsApp video call between us so you can see me, see what the keyboard looks like live and talk to me and ask me any questions you may have. I shall try to answer the best I can. send me a PM

Thanks for looking!

Cheers!

Hi!

If you have a Canon DSLR and will be using it for video, then these two lenses might interest you.

Canon make really lovely lenses. The problem with them is that they are very expensive and they are fully electronic. They dont allow you to manually adjust the aperture or manually go from out of focus to in focus and back out. These are things that are useful to do when shooting video and that's why these lenses are useful.... the manual control they provide.

If you have a crop sensor Canon, then using a wide angle lens helps you get more subject into your frame. And the 28mm wide angle I am selling here is a good wide angle lens. The standard 50mm lens I am selling is nice and fast and gives great shallow depth of field. I was thinking of getting the Nikkor f1.2 when I bought this f1.4 but that lens is so much heavier and the Canon DSLR's are heavy enough already with no lens! So I think the 50mm f1.4 is a good lens in that it is quite a compact and reasonably light lens.

Some years ago, I once met up with a gentleman here from LowYat forum who sold some adaptors for various manual lenses. He was kind enough to meet up with me and he let me try his adptors and lenses on my Canon. I was shocked that when I put the lens on and lifted up my camera, the lens was actually rattling on my body. When I went to our local photo shops, I was very dissapointed with the adaptors sold locally that are for attaching Nikon lenses onto Canon bodies. And so I did my research and there is a gentleman in Spain who machines precision adaptors. I bought two of these adapators from him. I also got the focus confirmation chips. The adaptors that I have are really awesome. They go around the Nikon bayonets and share the same screws that the Nikon bayonest use. So these things are damn secure and feel like you are attaching a native lens to your Canon. I also got the adaptors that enable you to offset the lens. Basically what this means is that we can set them up so that the focus mark and aperture mark are moved from the traditional 12 o'clock position to another position. I set them up so that when the lenses are attached, the focus mark is around 2 o'clock. This makes it much easier for me to see what the aperture and focus distance is from the left side of the camera as it is no longer hidden at the top under the hood / prism. The chips enable you to set ( and change ) the focal length and aperture of the lens for your meta data. I will include a link to their site below so you can read up more about them...

For any of you millenials interested, these lenses are probably like 30 years old. My eyesight is pretty bad and whilst they seem clean to me... Im sure young eyes will be able to spot various tiny specks of dust inside these lenses. If you expect them to be perfect, they will not be. But they are in good condition and clean and they take good pictures / video. These are not banged up lenses. They are in nice condition. I can't guarantee that they are in great enough condition for you... but I truly believe no one who comes to see them will think they have wasted their time. I bought the original Nikon hoods and some Hoya filters for outdoor shooting and these are included.

So there you go. I think these are good lenses and if you have just started using a Canon DSLR for video, cropped frame or full frame, these two lenses are a good value for money approach for your video shooting. It takes probably 2 mins to swap adaptors from one lens to another... so if you get this and may be some other AI-s lenses from other folks... you can swap the adaptors over quickly and easily as they arent exactly cheap.

Anyway here are some links for you to read so you can better understand what these items are all about....

The Nikon Nikkor 28mm

Nikkor AI-s as Cinema Lenses

The Leitax Nikon to Canon Adaptors

Lastly if you have a classic Nikon film camera then these would be good too

Item(s) conditions: Like New

Reason for sale: Selling off various things to build a ThreadRipper

Hi everyone and thanks for reading this!

Some background. I originally bought these items to be used for run and gun stuff i.e. to go off shooting video stuff outdoors and on the go. But circumstances rapidly changed and I had to do indoor stuff in a little studio instead. And so for my current needs cabled stuff is what I use. Hence I have no need for these wireless items. I want to build a Ryzen threadripper PC and so I am clearing off all the things I no longer use to finance this build.

What is commonly sold is the Sennheiser G3 set with one transmitter, one receiver and a lav mic. This is a great set as the audio, radio and build quality are superb. Real German stuff. Now the set that I am selling looks identical to the more common G3 set but it is more expensive than the regular set because it comes with 2 transmitters. One transmitter is for the lavalier mic and the other transmitter is for an xlr dynamic microphone. The advantage of this set is much greater real world shooting versatility. If you are a single person you can use the lav mic and transmitter and have both hands free.... or.... you can be an interviewer by using the handheld mic with the other transmitter. And that's why I bought this more expensive set along with the awesome MD 46 cardioid microphone. It's extremely rare that you will ONLY shoot one person. That's why the basic G3 set is limited. It only works with one person. But with a handheld wireless mic system that works on the same frequency band... you can pass the mic around and everyone can be recorded. That's a huge advantage.

The MD 46 microphone was a design request from the Sydney Olympics to design a mic that could be used in a noisy environment. It is indeed very good at isolating surrounding noise so that you can hear what the person you are interviewing is actually saying. So if you are filming things with interviews, then this mic is fabulous for that. The body of the microphone and indeed the transmitter is in Aluminium. No plastic here. You can use it as a weapon and whack someone to defend yourself if you need to The microphone is long enough that you can attach a microphone flag so that you can display whatever station id or logo or show name that you want to....

One thing that is great is that the output of the receiver that connects to your camera has very high gain and is very quiet. This enable you to get great audio quality recordings from a DSLR which under most circumstances is usually very hissy. If you are using say a Canon DSLR like I used to, then you can set the ouput of the Sennheiser receiver very high so that you can turn down the Canon microphone input level all the way down and thus eliminating that hiss. If you have a professional video camera then it also has the XLR cable. Speaking of high gain, if you use a recorder like the Zoom H4, there is enough gain from this Sennheiser that you can actually bypass the internal microphone preamps of the Zoom recorder and go straight into line level. You do need to make a special cable to do this but the results are really worth it as the Zoom H4's mic inputs have some noise. Bottom line, with a dslr or cheaper digital recorders, you can get really good audio recordings from them if you set your gain stages right

Anyways, to buy these two items new would cost close to RM5000. Im selling them for RM 3200. They are in perfect condition. I live near Jalan Gasing, Petaling Jaya should someone want to come and look at them. Thanks for reading!

[SOLD] Ikea Markus Office Swivel Chair

Item(s) conditions: The chair is in excellent condition.

Picture: image free hosting

Reason for sale: Hi and thanks for looking. This chair is owned by me. Single Malay guy. No pets. Non smoker. No kids. So its clean and close to new condition. This particular Markus chair is very nice as it's in a black fabric. Ikea have actually stopped making this particular model. I bought it late last year. The current Markus black chair is in leather and that's nice, but unfortunately the current black chair Ikea sells has silver legs and armrests and does not look as luxurious as this one. So I think if you are just after one chair, then this is a very nice one indeed! You also save yourself nearly 150 RM which is nice! If you would like to take a look at it please call me. Cheers!
