Why Ilford printing paper has not the 3/2 ratio in dimensions like of a 35mm film

[Alan Edward Klein]

I very much doubt Acura (Honda) makes spark plugs. Find out what brand and number is used and shop around. Of course, you'll have to replace them yourself or just make sure an independent mechanic is using the same ones. Acura dealers need to amortize the cost of loaner cars, coffee machines and nice waiting rooms--some of that comes from parts sales.

At 78, I'm at that age when I enjoy little perks I would have passed on when I was younger. They're worth it. I can't take it with me when I go.

It appears that this thread has gone completely off the rails as well. Apparently people don't have anything related to photography to share.

I've lived all over the US and never heard that one. BUTTTTT, California is another story.

Ditto, nor have I heard those phrases in YouTube videos and I have and do still watch many, many Wood Working, Machinist, Builders, Makers, etc, programs.

Personally, I prefer working in Metrics, thought I just bought a new U.S. 12" Incra Rule and an Incra 6" compass, no choice locally for an Incra metric set nor a Starret metric rule.

I also find it sort of ironic that the English would ever adopt a French system of measures.

Depending on what is being marketed, or measured, the U.S.A. is use to using various measuring systems, and calculators and phone/laptops easily will confirm or correct any mistakes.

Look at the latest edition of the common and useful "Pocket Reference" by Thomas A. Glover and you'll find several systems in use throughout the volume.

Cheers.

But who knows what they'll provide. https://www.acurapartswarehouse.com/oem-acura-spark_plug.html

back when I used to do my own mantance I got my Spark Plugs from https://www.clubplug.ca/ But the curent car has the coil on plug system and I do not dare to touch it. (looks like the plugs for my car are 18 bucks canadian each, that is worse then a roll of film)

But they probably last 100,000 miles (more or less 160,000 km).

somewhat over 118,000 km so far and other things are giving me grief rather then the plugs so far.

I thought it was worth disinterring this thread when I discovered this other fascinating discussion over on the L***a Forum. Apologies if you’ve seen it before (it’s 4 years old), otherwise enjoy.

Oof, I somehow got sucked into reading through that. They took three pages and consulting an expert to arrive at a conclusion I've read numerous times either here or on RFF and thus thought was common knowledge (which of course doesn't necessarily mean it's true): L39 is an old microscope standard.

Ah well, sorry, it was new to me.

No no, it was very fitting for this thread, and entertaining!

Fascinating.
But why "L***a" forum?
Do you think that we are going to be upset if you use the full name?

 

[eli griggs]

Some forums have restricted the use of other forums names in posts, no that I've ever seen it here.

This forum is not childish in that way....

No, I’m just embarrassed to mention it in case you think I’m a Leica cult member!
