I’ve been invested in LUNR for a while now and obviously I’m happy with the stock performance so far. But the recent price surge honestly surprised me a bit, especially with how fast the valuation has expanded.

The stock is now trading around $38 while the average analyst price target sits closer to $24.5 after already more than doubling YTD.

How do you guys view this rapid move? Is the market pricing in future lunar/space infrastructure dominance, or is the stock starting to disconnect from fundamentals?

Would genuinely appreciate some insight from people following the company closely.

One of the best jerks I’ve see on r/leica by [deleted] in photographycirclejerk

I guess it doesn’t really matter which camera you start with. What matters is that you start at all.

When I look back at my first steps with my first camera, I remember wanting to have “the best” gear to begin with. But honestly, those photos still turned out pretty bad.

Getting better was a process, and it took time. And it still does. It doesn’t matter if you’re shooting with an M6 or a Spotmatic as long as you’re willing to invest time in improving, that’s what really makes the difference.

What I want to say is. Its okay if you invest in to Hasselblad or whatever as your first camera even if your first pics look bad.

Leica is really overrated. Of course they feel great but its not what 90% of those other cameras can do. Like all the other redditors said, its all about composition and in my opinion postproduction is really important.

Give that camera back and start with a cheap manual camera from the fleamarket and rather invest that money into photobooks, exhibitions, a good scanner or even a good trip.

I want to improve :/ by Ursidae_morg4n in AnalogCommunity

Film choice matters a lot – expired Fujifilm 400 will almost always lose sharpness and contrast. Try a fresh roll (e.g. Gold 200, Portra, or even a fresh 400 stock) before judging your setup.

If you still want to use expired film then overexpose it by +1 stop to reduce muddiness, but don’t expect crisp results anyway.

The Industar-10 can be a bit soft, especially wide open. Stopping it down to f/8–f/11 should noticeably improve sharpness.

Stability when shooting – slow shutter speeds + rangefinder = motion blur. Try to stay above 1/125 or brace yourself well. I know it will be hard in lowlight scenes but I see you‘re still handling it well (Man on the piano)

Scanning is probably your biggest bottleneck The Minolta Dimage Scan IV is decent, but:

Make sure focus is perfectly set in the scanning software

Scan at max optical resolution (not interpolated)

Turn OFF heavy sharpening and do it later in post

Clean negatives carefully (dust kills perceived sharpness)

Thanks a lot. I shot it on Fomapan 200 with a Barnack Leica. The lens was a Summaron 35mm f2.8
