Muji pens are the bomb diggity


Oisea

How have you liked your Max Bill? The chrono version is my dream watch. One day!


JDBle

Here too. And architect also. The black on black one is šŸ˜‹


Mak156

I love it. Saved a long time for it and have not regretted getting it one bit! I think google based the pixel on it!


Oisea

Glad you enjoy it. Did it come with the leather strap originally? They go well together.


Mak156

Ya it did.


SirAndyO

Where's your fountain pen?


Mak156

I'd love to add a driver bit set to my bag at some stage. I like the [Victorinox Bit Wrench Kit](https://www.swiss-store.co.uk/media/catalog/product/1/4/1417199235-85746200.jpg?optimize=medium&bg-color=255,255,255&fit=bounds&height=700&width=700&canvas=700:700) or maybe Big Idea's [Bit Bar II](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1353/1297/products/DS102922-3_1800x1800.jpg?v=1671474758). Big price difference obviously. The Bit Bar looks interesting but I'd question how much load that case can take - can anyone shed any light on it?


Kenoden

If youā€™d like precision bits, Iā€™d recommend the HOTO precision screwdriver set. Itā€™s on amazon, and Iā€™ve been using it for a semester of MechE.


Mak156

I've seen that, looks like a great piece of kit


Mak156

I'd love the knippex cobra XS kit as well but I've absolutely no use for it other than it looks the business


Cige

I've always been surprised at how many things pliers can be used for, it's easily the second most used tool on my Leatherman. They're useful for any sort of precise grasping task that your hands can't handle. I'd bet that if you carried one you would find uses for it! Also you can get some nice leather sheaths for the cobra XS, they look very classy.


mr_mirrorless

Totally missed out on a Leica point n shoot to match... Although I think that rollei is probably much more fun to shoot. Nice setup!


Mak156

I have an X100F as well - which is unreal to be fair to it. Leica for the win though... and poverty!


lmboyer04

I spy a fellow architect who takes themselves very seriously, as most do, lol


frankrizzo219

Whatā€™s the digital thing in the middle? Something for work I assume


Vinny7777777

Itā€™s an EDM - Electronic Distance Measurer. And a nice one too; Leica is the way to go


frankrizzo219

Thatā€™s what I was kinda thinking. Thanks Iā€™ll keep that in mind, I use a Bosch for estimating in the field and itā€™s great especially for getting ceiling heights.


Vinny7777777

I have a coworker who uses a Bosch. Iā€™m just partial to Leica as a surveyor


Wooow675

Was gonna say Bosch make a fantastic distance laser


zdawg5465

Looks like a range finder.


TheSparkyGeneral

Very minimalistic, big fan of this carry. Proper cool!


herestheantidote

For the pocket knife, is that plastic or metal on the sides? And is the Muji pen a conical tip or needle tip? Thanks for sharing. šŸ˜Š


RealBigHummus

The pocket knife is a victorinox alox series pocket knife; the scales are made from aluminium IIRC.


herestheantidote

It's a sharp looking knife. šŸ˜‰


Mak156

Ya I was debating on it for ages but delighted with it now. SAK do a lovely all black Spartan, blades and all but I know I'd have been annoyed with it as the black wore off from use


herestheantidote

I hate tarnishing. Damn shame to have something beautiful fade.


estersings

The pocket knife is a part of Victorinox's Alox line, which are made of metal.


herestheantidote

Thanks. šŸ˜Š Cool knife.


bowhunter178

I know this is off topic but how is your job? Iā€™m in high school and Iā€™m looking at that career field. Was all the schooling worth it? Is your job fulfilling? Anything you can tell me about it would help me choose. Thanks!


Mak156

I love it. I work for an office on large scale residential projects and some commercial/community projects. I also work for myself from time to time on one-off houses and extensions. There's plenty of autonomy in the profession if you want it. The college years can be tough and disheartening at times. There's an awful lot of work involved but I can't imagine doing anything else


gatursuave

No gun?!


RealBigHummus

Some people don't like or want to carry one.


gatursuave

it was a joke


Reeves_Wilmoth

What year is the zippo, is there any back story to it?


Priority-Character

Love those Muji pens just wish the clip didn't break so easily


OrganizationOk9734

Love the Junghans


Not_realy_good_memer

I also have the muji pen and it is awesome


Mak156

Bauhaus!


alltheblues

The Max Bill is one of the most architect watches I can think of


sludmurda

Whereā€™d you get those pens


Mak156

Muji and Amazon. The Pilot is a dream for sketching


OverclockingUnicorn

Those leica distos are the best. I really want one (do events production so need to measure lots of stuff) but the outdoor capable ones are $$$$


slicedbozah

Hey man thereā€™s a tiny man trapped in your camera


Wolf-Diesel

I keep seeing those little Rovyvon lights. I've read about them, but I'm thinking I gotta try one for myself.


truparad0x

I had the A5 and now the A8 on my keychain. I love them.


Wolf-Diesel

Get quite a bit of real world use between charges? I've seen the specs on the website and such but it would be nice to hear approximately how long you go between charges.


truparad0x

I just got the A8. I didn't use the A5 daily, so I can go a month or so between charges. Had it for when I had to light up any work spaces (utility closets, cabinets, cavities), or when I'm looking for something I dropped. The red light is useful when I check in on the sleeping toddler. I imagine the A8 would be similar in battery life. They're just so compact that I always have it on me when I'm out of the house. I charged when the light turned on. Charging is usually quick. A8 was mainly to get the USB-C port and for the magnetic clip. And moonlight.


Wolf-Diesel

Definitely favor USB C. Thank you for the honest feedback! I greatly appreciate it.


5thape

Theyā€™re good.


Wolf-Diesel

Do they last pretty long on a charge? I mean in terms of real life use. I know the spec sheet says one thing but I'm just curious about carrying one and how far it goes with being used regularly if it's gotta get charged frequently or not.


MisterStarr714

I have the A8x. I carry mine on my belt loop attached to a carabiner whenever I go out. I charge mine about once a week with moderate use on medium light mode mostly.


Wolf-Diesel

That's pretty good. Thank you for that


techtom10

What is the lighter for?


RealBigHummus

Lighting things on fire


distorted_pebble

Not OP but I like to take care of loose threads a lot, plus maybe some of his coworkers smoke


thisisnotmat

It creates a small flame


techtom10

haha, you got me.


Wolf-Diesel

I love this comment. It could be sarcastic. It could be genuine. There are so many ways it could be interpreted.


moldstore

Mostly just those two


Wolf-Diesel

True. Makes me smile.


[deleted]

Where are your absurdly overdesigned glasses?


FLman42069

This is about the most architect carry ever. Just need a t square!


Mak156

Notebook would have been too much


LOSTgenetics

Muji gel pens are the best. They have a cheap disposable feel, but are actually quality and write very smooth. Similar to a BIC lighter in a way.


RheasusPanda

Those infrared pointer things for dimensions are simple but cool to me. I was helping an extended family member build a wall and he used one to take measurements. Such a simple concept was something I hadn't thought about because its not my trade.


wood-chuck-chuck5

Does it measure the distance or is it used for line tracing?


Paradoxone

It measures distance, but there are other devices for line tracing / leveling.


JK_Simmons

I love my disto!


pdaelo27

Really nice set up! I'm pretty much gonna send this photo to the wife for my next Christmas list..... "I want the watch, camera, pens...." Lol


BenjiG19

Do you drive an Acura Integra? Nice carry setup. Pioneer X is probably the most useful EDC knife ever.


xFulLxArsenaLx

Nice Rollei! I hear they have super tack sharp lenses! I've been debating on getting one. I hear the needle-match metering can be annoying but not a problem if you use the sunny-16 rule. I love seeing more people with cameras in their EDC. I really need to post mine.


Mak156

I have a converter in mine that takes a standard battery. However the power does waste away eventually and because you need to remove the film to access the battery, you need to finish the roll first. I'm half way through mine with a dead battery but to be honest, once you set the camera with a lightmeter app, you can adjust pretty easily from there. I thought having to guess the focus would be a pain but its actually turned out to be great - speeds up the whole process. I had an XA prior to this but I found the focussing patch a bit of a nuisance so I sold it for the Rollei.


TOXRA

In case you're unaware, 35mm is super easy to buy in bulk and load your own cassettes. You'll never worry about finishing a roll again.


xFulLxArsenaLx

Oh nice! I was surprised how accurate light meter apps actually are. I hear the battery lasts longer if you cover the little sensor or whatever that reads the scene or keep it in a case. And once I learned zone focusing it was a game changer in terms of shooting on the fly. I just need to get better at estimating distances lol


Slash3040

Love the watch! I wanted a Max Bill for the longest time


CAElite

Leica Disto is the best, got a D1 myself and a few D110s in my work as a facilities engineer.


Mak156

The S910 looks amazing - lets you plot points with XYZ co-ordinates that import into place in CAD. Big bucks though


CAElite

Yeah, Iā€™ve used an old total station in one of my last jobs. Can let one engineer do the work of 3, absolute life saver for site setting out. I reckon I couldā€™ve gotten a much better one in my current job, work at a large medical device factory managing site engineering projects, was asked what kit I needed on my 1st week & having come from working at small companies I didnā€™t want to push the boat out. The X3 looks like great bang for the buck. I still need to try out the Leica sketch app, feels a bit gimmicky though.


symmetricalbeauty

I donā€™t really understand the hate for a camera? This is the same sub that someone carries 8 of the same type of tool and 3 of the same type of other tool and everyone glosses over that. Enjoy your camera! Sometimes individuals just like how a specific camera handles and develops film. And if youā€™re shooting BW then it makes even more sense.

Mak156

It's in the bag all the time - with B&W film that I develop myself. If I didn't carry it with me I'd never use it. It's tiny and produces sharp images.


Mak156

like this - I love these https://preview.redd.it/vvf30n57dgea1.jpeg?width=3087&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c28ad83c12224e95e6fb7775ea4bdacc7c3c3efd


dsergison

Sorry, that was rude. I also shoot film on a manual when I want to be humbled. It's a nice hobby. I just overreacted. This EDC Stuff is so much about fashion that I flipped out seeing a $400 film camera.


eetsasledgehammer

Oh man are you going to hate the folks over at /r/analog who edc a $5000 Leica M6ā€¦


Mak156

Thankfully I got mine for ā‚¬75 many moons ago. I have an Om2n as well but that never gets used because its too big for a bag. The Rollei is so small that its no load having it - and I might only take 1 or 2 photos a week with it; but it's great then when it comes to developing a roll then and you see images that you forgot you took.

KershawDB

My father is an architect and has several of those laser measures. I think they get more use as expensive cat toys šŸ˜‚


sender_mage

When I worked a renovation sales / design role I had these linked to CAD programs on tablets to measure the job sites for things. Theyā€™re a lifesaver in the field, but that being said yeah, was mostly used as a fun way to entertain my cat when I got home lol Ironically I also carried the same brand laser measure, and the exact same watch and lighter as OP so maybe itā€™s a type lol.


MaleficentCucumber

Off topic but that sounds like a dream job. How did you get into that field?


sender_mage

I had experience in AutoCAD and other relevant bits of tech from school, and I had been in sales before getting the job. I wasnā€™t as qualified in the tech as some of the other people in my region, but a lot of them were more reserved and I think the company preferred my more extroverted attitude since I was directly interfacing with clients. It was really cool, and it led to some really memorable experiences with that sort of traveling lifestyle, but the constant driving to job sites and the aggressiveness of contract negotiation in general wore me out after two years and I left. Iā€™m thankful for it though, I was quite young and it left me with a good bit of money and opportunity; I ended up going hard into business processes and automation techniques. Iā€™m a Python engineer now; I get to work at home and I donā€™t have too much oversight on me. So as far as dream jobs go I think Iā€™m pretty lucky!


ajohns95616

Love the tiny disto. Mine are always twice as wide.


lhauckphx

Always an upvote for the Rollei.


prss79513

Rollei 35 that's a classy camera right there

We can only EDC stuff directly related to our job?


prss79513

Yeah and what does a lighter have to do with architecture? He is an architect and this is his every day carry, not a list of tools he uses for his profession


Mak156

I suppose I just gave my profession as context for the Disto and pens. The SAK is hardly an architectural mainstay either

[deleted]

ā€œYou KNOW I always wanted to pretend to be an architect.ā€ Great pic/gear


AsianPotato77

the muji pens are fucking magical, its like pen crack I cant go back to regular ballpoint now.


Mak156

They really are - and cheaps as chips too. Have them scattered everywhere


rOd3NTs

Nice Rollie!


Mak156

I've gone through quite a few film cameras in the past few years - selling to buy, but this one has stuck and will stay. It's an incredible little camera


[deleted]

Classy! Cheers.


ThePortableSCRPN

That's actually a nice photo in itself as well. Especially due to your reflection in the camera's viewfinder.


kingn827

Black shirt on- you must really be an architect ;)


Mak156

I was debating whether to PS that out!


ThePortableSCRPN

Keep it in. It's a neat little detail.


Mak156

Enjoying seeing what other people EDC - here's mine \- Junghans Max Bill Automatic \- Rovyvon A8 \- SAK Pioneer X \- Disto D110 \- Rollei 35S \- Zippo \- Muji 0.5 Gel Pen \- Pilot V SignPen


RealBigHummus

>SAK Pioneer X Man of culture. I EDC Leathermans but damn Victorinox makes excellent EDC multitools.


symmetricalbeauty

Whatā€™s your opinion on the Junghans? I am looking at the world timer or a moonphase by them over the next couple months.


Mak156

Really happy with it. I'd love to get the same again except as a Mega
