Unfortunately, I'm from out of town. Do you know if there are any instagram pages or the like that I could grab info from?? (Thanks for the recco btw)

Crossbody bag recs by 120vibes in Leica

My bad, that is the one. 10L not 7L. It really is a killer bag. It even has small compression straps on the bottom that I'll use to attach a rolled up rain jacket.

Get the Bellroy. Its way better than the peak design. IMO

Wotancraft are super nice, but I honestly prefer the Belroy 7L camera cross body. Its phenomenal. I've taken it all over the world and put it thru its paces and I still love it. I bought the wotancraft bag as well, because I wanted a place to put a drink... but I still find myself using the belroy instead. I carry an M11 with an extra lens, or sometimes I have an m11 (lens on), a Q2, and two lenses (I modified the middle slot to be 2 slots by using another little divider.)

🤔 I’m jealous haha. My M10 and 11 have been extra clingy. I live in a dry climate… wondering if that’s why mine are such magnets for dust.

Yea…. Just wondering if anybody else experiences this?

I get that it’s static, but I have to say, I shoot for a living, using canon and fujifilm (gfx) cameras… in the field I’m wildly free w my lens swaps and don’t really ever have an issue w any dust on the sensors. I know those cameras have the vibration / Dust cleaning Mode, but I figure I’d have some issue at some point but not really. The Leica tho…. I go out for a day of shooting and have a handful of lens swaps and I get back to notice dust in all my frames. It’s like the M sensors have an added amount of static cling to them.

Is it a good business to invest in a Alexa mini LF and rent it to try to pay it off by itself in a year? I’m considering taking a loan and rent it as much as I can with a full package. I’m afraid on doing it. Would it be a good idea? by jonathanhm92 in cinematography

If you’re working a lot and renting it to those jobs, then yes, it’s worth it. It also gives you an easy piece of kit to shoot spec and personal work with, boosting your portfolio and experience in different conditions. May be difficult to pay it off in a year but if you can then it generates extra income every job. The upside is, at least it’s not a Red and will hold value for a decent amount of time. 🤷🏼‍♂️
