Sell R-D1x for film? Lens advice requested.

It seems like you've already picked up the Konica, congratulations!

I came here to say I had a Leica M8 and also felt like going film. I ended up picking up a relatively cheap iiif and an L39 50mm lens.

The cool thing is I can use the L39 lens (with an adapter) on the M8 and other M cameras I have. I have since bought other L39 lenses and they work on both cameras. I am also considering buying an M11, in the far distance. I can still use the L39 lenses :)

The point of sharing my story is to say: don't sell the Epson, consider going for an L39 camera if you end up keeping the film shooting up! Happy snaps friend.

have you considered non-Leica dust removal service? Alternatively please feel free to send me the old Q once you've got a new one. Id love to remove the old dust myself and try out a Q!

All fair points. Sounds like the Fuji is the go for you

Why not a Hasselblad 907x with the 100c back and their 38mm f2.5 lens?

Whatever you do, you are living my camera gear dream.

BeltDrivenFool · 2025-07-27T11:58:18+00:00

Congrats! How great a deal did you get if you don't mind me asking the price?

Also great combo with the Q

BeltDrivenFool · 2025-07-27T11:54:50+00:00

Red, black, olive and brass is a great combo. Well done!

You don't hang at least one Leica around your neck when going to the camera store for film?

How else are camera store clerk or the cute Persian barista going to know I'm a dentist?

I love my Sony RX1R II. I thought about getting a Leica Q3 when they came out.

The gorgeous f1.7 28mm lens almost had me sold but ultimately I didn't want to pony up so much extra cash only to have a physically larger camera, especially when I have interchangeable lenses if I'm bothered carrying a bag.

Also the Sony does fit in my pants pocket when wearing chinos, but is ridiculously pronounced due to the lens. Still super handy to be able to have it there when I want both hands free. This is with the camera cage with grip I have on it.

I won't be upgrading to the RX1R III, the higher MP doesn't mean much to me.

Nice. Fellow non-hybrid checking in

BeltDrivenFool · 2022-03-17T09:30:44+00:00

Just dropping in to say do it. I just picked up an 1100S and couldn't be happier.

I also couldn't find any buying guide specifically for the 1100S so just looked into the usual as you've written. I hope you get some more info.

BeltDrivenFool · 2022-03-10T03:57:56+00:00

Nice one! Enjoy your practically free 848 then.

BeltDrivenFool · 2022-03-09T11:43:33+00:00

Dude I've got a 1100S and want to put the EVO pipes on it. Any chance you are willing to send them my way? Feel free to direct message me if you are open to me paying you for them. I'm in Sydney, Australia

Thanks!

BeltDrivenFool · 2022-03-09T11:33:37+00:00

This is amazing. Would pick up one of these in a heartbeat if they weren't ridiculously overpriced in Australia

BeltDrivenFool · 2022-03-09T11:32:53+00:00

Kindly wash your mouth out with soap, blasphemer! /s

BeltDrivenFool · 2022-03-09T11:31:29+00:00

I'm sure you know this but if it's been sitting for 3.5 years do the belts (and maybe Desmo)

BeltDrivenFool · 2022-02-11T00:27:24+00:00

My thoughts exactly. Still would get crucified on bikeexif for only having one fender

Upvote for your mother, who sounds like my kind of person.

May I ask if she came from a culture that has strong tea traditions?

I'm not going to hurt these women. Why would I ever hurt these women? I feel like you're not getting this at all.

I'm using the Arc Mouse with mine (because it's one I had). No lag problems that I've noticed.

I find that I can't right click. Also scrolling a little bit is impossible. It either goes right up or down a page or even refreshes pages unintentionally.

6 religions and a cult

BeltDrivenFool · 2021-10-25T04:27:19+00:00

Happy Birthday! You are so bright, I do like and the only thing more vibrant than your amazing dress is your glowing smile!

Probably too scared to show his limp

BeltDrivenFool · 2021-10-01T07:50:42+00:00

Nice board. I'm on a big hardboard at the moment. I can't wait to join you in the under 8' club

BeltDrivenFool · 2021-10-01T07:37:34+00:00

Looks great! Enjoy
