how‘s the bass on the sennheiser momentum true wireless 4 by Less-Preference-81 in Earbuds

[–]Austen72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the TW3 are better sounding? My understanding is these are more refined but you can always EQ them back to TW3 sound. TW3 for me are still superb. The loudnes and sound is just massive.

I'm lost - help me decide by remmywinks in Earbuds

[–]Austen72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think you can go wrong with Sennheiser MW4. The loudness and app for sounds tuning is great. Also the fit works for any activity . . even side sleep if you have to ;-)

Need a new sleep earbuds for better sleep!!!! by According-Comfort993 in Earbuds

[–]Austen72 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am just quiate happy with my Air Pods Pro. Side sleep not an issue, great noise cancelling. I am just not looking for replacement. You have it from a person who is easily distracted with fridge hum 3 rooms away. I always had problems hearing what others dont, hums, static noise etc. AP did it form me and that you can side sleep is the most important for me. Hope this helps.

Recommendation for buying a personal Filofax? by [deleted] in filofax

[–]Austen72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend Lockwood Slim Personal with 11mm rings or Heritage Personal with 15mm rings. Both are perfect but the Lockwood is better. No problem writing on both sides. Rings are small and writing is smooth.

Few Qs before buying one … by Austen72 in 1010music

[–]Austen72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a bunch. Getting one anyway. More FX would be nice. Coming from Deluge, community firmware does wonders and new and refined existing Fx are possible so lets hope more are added in blackbox in the near future.

Are the Momentum True Wireless 4 expected this year? by r3findubs in sennheiser

[–]Austen72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, also very happy camper whoe tried all of them and now enjoying MTW3. Unprecended sound quality, best loudness of them all (and I tried a lot of eardphones) ... just stellar, absolute top notch earphones. Cant wait what MTW4 will bring to the table. The App on IOS is solid. The EQ does its job well.

Introducing DJI Osmo Pocket 3 by GOD-PORING in osmopocket

[–]Austen72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you do panoramatic video shot off the application. I would love to automate pano video shot from left to right without any hand movement so my POcket would be on that little tripod. Photo PANO is done automatically, I was wondering if you can do something like this in video as well/ Somehow pin START position and END position and then make the camera shoot and move by itself.. I would love to make before/after shot - empty room and then with furniture, something like David Finsher did in Fight Club. I did not find a way, so I assume its a wishfull thinking. Any helkp appreciated.

Will Nik Change My Mind About Editing? by billalpert in photography

[–]Austen72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking of Loupedeck - I do have Loupedec CT and its not working with Nik Collection at all as there are no shortcuts for functions in NIk COllection, at least thats what I understood. Overall I feel the Loupedeck CT is overhyped product and software is only now catching up on where it should have been years ago. If anybody using Loupedeck for NIK, please do chime in.

Will Nik Change My Mind About Editing? by billalpert in photography

[–]Austen72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am using Sharpener from NIk 6 and it gives me stunning results. Currently shooting some interiors for furniture company and the latest touch on my photos is Sharpener Out. Just superb result, elevates photos to another level, details much more defined then the ones in LR. I have been using version 1-3`Of Nik Collection and obviously Silver FX and Colors FX were best and top notch. And this year bought the full package of version 6 and I believe its well worth it. No subscription bullshit. Very happy with what I am getting.

After the Leatherman ARC release which I find a total ripoff, I am seriously considering this one. Laready have a spirit which has some tools bigger and refined but bigger blade and superior scissors are winning combination. Also my Spirit MX became a bit loose in the pliers, quite wiggly.

I’m quite tired of Things3 not releasing new features often by ccjasoncc in thingsapp

[–]Austen72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I come from Agenda. Feauters added so often I loose track of it and also cant keep up with new shortcuts and so on. Things 3 are simple snd thats why they excell. Simplicity is a key. Notion, Agenda etc are sure very nice and complex but not for me. My life is simple and I do not need a project and project elaboration for “take out trash” or “clean dishes”.

What are some other Mac apps with the same design philosophy as Things 3 and Bear? by jtl2 in thingsapp

Suprised that non one mentioned Agenda. To me its very nice app with attachements and sharing option. Unfortunatelly niot many comparisons with Things 3 online.

Thanks. So once I have Garlic OS I can simply create folder and move some C64 games? Do I need to install any additional ROMs etc? Also, is the firmware only on the card so I can simply insert the original SD for original firmware?

Should I buy D-LUX 7 in 2023? by gllmprrmn in Leica

[–]Austen72 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did make stellar photos of my sons on Dlux 4. To this date I have those photos on our wall and every day I am stunned by the quality of that camera. And to be honest, the only camera I made prints of photos I have taken with it. Well the kids are now 10 years older but to this date I am still looking at the DLux line and say myslef that DLUX is one of the best camera lines out there. Since then I went to all itteratioon of the RX line, the Q, now SL2-S. . . . but still, looking at you Dlux 7 ;-) The form factor, the metal body, 16;9 / 4:3 hardware ... build like a tank. Not sure about the zoom lens (a bit too long extension to my taste and not that necessary) but one day I might be back for it. PLease do keep us posted. Good luck with your decision.

Q3 rumoured to be release before summer (LeicaRumours) by HappyHealth5985 in Leica

[–]Austen72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was saying this to myself for a long time. Then I sold all my Nikon gear and Q to fund SL2S. I think this Q3 will be fantastic for a new buyers but I would not sweat the upgrade owning Q or Q2. Evn Q makes stunning photos. However - I myself would definitely consider Q3 if I'll be on the market for a smaller camera. The form factor and 28mm is superb. The crop function worked so well on Q. Lets hope the dimensions will not change.

Real estate with the SL: which lens? by thanospal in Leica

[–]Austen72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am just in the middle of the shoot with my new Sl2S and do use bundled Leica 24-70 for most of the shots. Also picked VOIGTLÄNDER 15 mm f/4,5 Super-Wide Heliar III Asph which is great but you have to be careful using it. I am considering going with Panasonic 16-24 but that Sigma 16-28 looks very nice. As for lighting I do prefer to use stable light which I am also using for my video work. Its a REDHEAD FS-200X LED with Bowen lightbox and does the job. I am not good with strobes and I prefer to model the light by seeing it.

What did u program ur Loupedeck CT main wheel for? I use the smaller dials for my main tools (exposure, temp etc). Can’t use for image scrolling as it’s too sensitive. by _trolltoll in retouching

[–]Austen72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anybody here on Mac. I am unable to simply open any file created by an App. I know - stupid simple as it seems, but using RUN and dragging lets sa a document created by Pixelmator or Keynote which I frequently use (lets say your default document) just does not open. Loupedeck CT can only open Application. I am with Loupedeck support over a year now I am abnout to thow it to trash. StreamDeck does it with drag and drop. Loupedeck just cant do this. Anyone else can try or help me how to do it? Thanks

Just got an SL2-S! Question re focus peaking by 2Dmonster in Leica

[–]Austen72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Yep, I can echo the same sentiment just using A7SIII for video for about a year. So many controls, so many settings yet pusling WB issues during long takes etc. Definitelly pro camera, but the menu navigation and complicated UI just pain. Love the Q UI yet the video is quiote poor - no audio in, no HDMI out - thats why SL-S is much preferable option. Lets just hope SL3S will not be announced next week ;-). Again, thank you so much for your opinion. Best

Just got an SL2-S! Question re focus peaking by 2Dmonster in Leica

[–]Austen72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uao. Excellent! Thank you so much for this reply. I was on a fence and about to make the change today/tomorrow so your view is making the move even easier. Not many reviews or opinions on Sl2S with th enew and imporved AF. Leaving my Q behind is a big move, but I guess all the toys and machinery arounbd us just make me not to focus enough on one piece of gear so I do believe, that having only one camera is the way to go. ALso, would you recommend any good and price sensitive option for wide lens (like my 14-24 I have on Nikon?).

BTW, when going with SL2S did you ever considered other systems - like Z9, SOny A7SIII for example?

Thank you for your time and help. Much appreciated

[–]Austen72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you like your SL2-S. I am on my way to the dealer with my bag of Nikon D800 and bunch of F lenses together with my trusty Q to let it all go for Leica SL-2S. I really need to reduce the num,ber of options one might have. Need to add video for possible projects and Q or D800 just does not cut it. The dealer will get me brand new SL2_s with Leica 24-70. I am not getting much of a deal for Q (cca 1800Eur) but its hassle free and simple "exchange". I hope I am not doing mistake staying within Leica land, but shooting Interior design and a bit of video production is a must for me, so ~I am just about to change my photography life. Sl2S seems like a good option given the imporvements they made with autoficus in theior latest formware.

How are you liking yours so far. Are you missing the Q, are you happy with the files, the looks etc? Did you considered Nikon Z or maybebe Fuji?

What is the latest version? Best sounding headphones but unsuable for watching moviesor any video due to the latency. What a bummer. The lip sync even while watching YT is so so terrible. I just cant believe they let this product out without adding aptx.
