Is there a version of wget-warc precompiled for OS X? I friend wants to do a simple scrape save of this site: http://db-in.com/blog/ Can anyone offer me advice? |

You don't need ""wget-warc"". You just need wget. The 1.14 version specifically. That should help you narrow down to find a binary I guess.. |

on lenses, you can remove the mould, but it actually eats into the coatings and so even when the mould has gone you still end up with damaged coating |

what i was getting at, is that i'd be very very surprised if anything is recoverable after removing the fungus |

Baljem |
generally for lenses the procedure for dealing with fungus involves the bin, unless it's some particularly special glass. but if you're going to use one, best to do it on a sacrificial camera and keep them away from clean lenses in case spores spread |
|

good point |
|
20:26
🔗
|
winr4r |
Baljem: and when it comes to glass, once the fungus is gone, you'll find that lenses are pretty usable if you try hard to avoid flare, since it usually only gets the coatings |
|
20:26
🔗
|
winr4r |
and on simple lenses, even if it gets the glass itself, that's not so bad |
|
20:27

mm, yes, although getting the fungus off it might be more effort than makes sense unless the glass is something special |
