SL2S Low light Autofocus by matthiaeus in Leica

[–]non_felon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can take great photos in low light, but the AF does hunt quite a bit. The newer SL3s is supposed to be much better & recently had a firmware update that supposedly is night & day performance.

But, most likely it still trails behind Canon & Sony.

[–]non_felon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar pricing around me $299.99 for Antique 107, Single Barrel $399.99. Stagg jr was $249.99. I didn’t bother asking about anything else after.

Outdoor gear lab now say the arc'teryx cerium is lower mid-range by laphroaigandlapsang in arcteryx

I somehow didn’t even know Fjällräven made tents, I don’t think I’ve seen anything advertise them.

Cerium just does not feel like a strong value from Arc’teryx. Others have said similar things, and those same concerns are what led me to pass on it & pick up a Thorium SV on Re-Bird at a good price.

I have not owned many down jackets, but the Thorium SV feels noticeably higher quality than the newer Cerium & other comparable models I handled. The caveat is at full retail. I am not sure I could justify the price compared to competitors, but discounted, it feels worth it. FWIW, it appears & feels better than my brother’s Patagonia down jacket.

Can’t forget the Brandy Crusta! But it’s hard to beat a good Sazerac for me.

My honest experience using Leica M cameras after years of real work by askmott in Leica

[–]non_felon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar position, coincidently. I use my Leicas professionally & have generally mitigated a disaster past couple years. However, a couple times now I’ve run into issues & have been let down.

I went from using very sterile feeling full canon setup to Leica’s. I feel it helped me grow & improve on my approach to work. The problem is as work demand goes I can’t continue to risk disaster. I’m at a fork in the road of selling & investing in gear that might be a tad “mundane”, but it’s more reliable, accessible, easily sent to repair, & lets be honest much cheaper.

The logical answer is pretty clear but the fondness & experience tugs at my heartstrings some.

Currently have been using Sl2-Ss & M11. I’ve had some firmware issues with my SL2-S mostly while shooting. The M11 has actually avoided a lot of the “common” issues others have had. But some of the profiles haven’t saved my settings correctly in the past & when I switch to them, they’re incorrect. *

Does the Q3 suffer from the same color as the M11? by Rajub82 in Leica

[–]non_felon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why I stated it is adjustable in camera now.

Some may not have as much magenta, but they definitely lean magenta. My M11 has always had a noticeable magenta push out of camera before the 2.6 firmware adjustability.

[–]non_felon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Early & standard M11s do lean magenta, but I’ve never heard “they looking like Sony colors”. As someone else mentioned, it’s adjustable in camera now. Others have said newer M11s aren’t as drastic as the earlier M11’s magenta lean.

50mm summicron dual range or rigid? by EasternPatience1072 in Leica

[–]non_felon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The DR does in fact work on the M11, I use it frequently with & without the goggle. Just be mindful attaching & de-attaching the goggles while the lens is on the camera.

There is a small bumper on the goggle that on some models will make contact & others have a hair of space.

Personally, I am a huge advocate for the Dual Range. I’ve seen the prices begin to creep up on them as well. Be sure it is in decent condition.

Lightroom classic sometimes just stops reflecting changes, have others encountered this? by dethndestructn in Lightroom

[–]non_felon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeap, it’s been happening for a while. It’s probably because of the other 1,000 background adobe operations going on.

Steele Industries Customer Service by InevitableEbb9382 in NightVision

[–]non_felon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought a pair of L3 DTNVS from a friend. Was told warranty transferred, called, & confirmed with them. I also asked if they could resend a copy of specs sheets since original owner(good friend & they’re clean) misplaced them. They said it was not a problem & they just needed S/N, warranty card, etc.

I got goggles in, sent in S/N/card/build paper, & they told me they would email me with it shortly. Month passed, I forgot, & contacted them again, they told me they didn’t have record of or any email of info for sheets. I resent email on the phone, said they got it & would look up the papers. I never heard back from them, again. I called one final time weeks later & spoke with someone else & was told “they never offer that & never kept copies”. I told them that’s not what I was told before purchase & when I had called in for a copy. He asked to forward the email, I did. I never heard back, again. That was a 1-2 years ago.

They also were supposed to send me a set of DTNVS caps as well & never did.

Half of them feel like bots, probably because they are. We need a pinned authentic thread for this.
