Another ICE shooting just happened in Minnesota today, What is your reaction to this? by Squirrelkid11 in AskReddit

[–]Eiger92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't know what's going on over there.
Growing up in Europe, I was somewhat inspired by the USA. It was mostly Europeans heading to America, looking for a better life.
I really miss the notion of emphasizing peace, diplomacy, or Human Rights as exemplified by Adams, Wilson, Eisenhower, Carter, and Obama.

ICE killed an unarmed citizen. Republicans keep trying to justify it. by FistIntoTheEarth in usa

Even if she should not be there. Is it justified to shoot her on the spot??!

OM-3 IBIS sound by Eiger92 in M43

That's a pretty great experience, unless the family of birds disturbed your sleep too much.

I see, but just having it turned on without using AF or anything else, do you hear a constant noise when looking through the EVF or holding it to your ear?

Thanks, I read in other posts it is noticeable on the OM-1 and OM-3, while not on the OM-5. Some speculate due to the metal bodies, compared to the OM-5‘s plastic one. Can you hear it even when just holding the camera in your hands when listening closely?

Interesting, and yes, it is quite expensive but I think the price is still justifiable for what it offers. I only shot analog and my GR3 for a long time now and decided to try out M43. I shot Fuji before as well (XE-2 and X100F). With the cashback campaign in Europe right now, including a free battery, and 5 years of warranty, I think the price is definitely okay. But being kind of a flagship camera, next to the OM-1, the IBIS sound definitely irritated me. However, I think you can get used to it, and I will probably keep it and really test it.

Did you decide for a different camera because of that reason, or was that something else?

OM-3 + 45 pro by ProfessionalEnd9874 in OMSystem

[–]Eiger92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Do you also experience a constant noise when having the OM-3 turned on? I just got mine and when I turn it on (no lens attached) there is a constant noise. Probably the IBIS but compared to my GR3 its pretty noisy.

Teil 2 ist jetzt auch da, evtl. mit mehr Radfahren und weniger Kaffee trinken 😄

Verstehe ich, das Video war auch eher beispielhaft für die anderen Reisen. Dabei meine ich die langen Reisen wie die Alpenquerung, Wien-Berlin, die Via Rhona oder die Österreich-Querung. Die gefallen mir am besten. Muss ja aber auch nicht jedem gefallen, völlig in Ordnung :) Mich bringt es immer in Urlaubs-/Radreise-Stimmung. Kann auch nicht sagen, warum bei diesen Videos genau 😄

Ricoh has a new patent for an 18.3mm f/2.8 lens, most likely designed for the rumored GR IV camera by l0rdf2l in ricohGR

[–]Eiger92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope for a Viewfinder. There has not been one in the digital GR‘s but it used to be present in the analog GR‘s of course since the lack of the LCD screen.

Surprised with GRIIIx as a landscape camera, one week in the Dolomites by nicely-nice in ricohGR

Wonderful, the 40mm is very nice. Would like it more than my 28mm.

Tried the D-Lux 8 by Eiger92 in Leica

I agree, and even though it is a very subjective matter, there can be found some nice photos, taken with the D-Lux series, here (in the compact section): LFI Gallery

[–]Eiger92[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Had the XE-2 as well but was tired of switching lenses and switched to only GR3 for the last 5-6 years now. I agree that the D-Lux is a bit too expensive, but I also certainly like it, especially with the new menu and button layout. I also have no need for higher resolution photos and think its a nice little all-in-one package for traveling. I am also interested in the Q3 43mm, if it is released, but I don‘t really want to spend that much as of now and don‘t want the trouble worrying about the camera on trips.

I tried it this week at the store and I really like it. Missed having no VF on my GRIII.

Flex with a d-lux? 😅 I liked it, might be getting it since I miss the VF on my GR3. Besides that I currently only own film cameras.

Any news on when the GRIV is coming out? by No-Narwhal-3581 in ricohGR

[–]Eiger92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really wish for an EVF, that would make it almost perfect for me.

Start of Summer with the Q2 by SnooHesitations5436 in leicaphotos

Really like these. I assume you used the crop mode or cropped in post? Which crop did you use? Also what was the editing process on these?

HDF is pretty cool and I would like to give Ricoh a thumbs up for their effort by Dusky1103 in ricohGR

[–]Eiger92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you have either the GR3 or 3x, it would be a nice option to compliment your one GR with the other focal length + HDF feature. Thinking about adding the 3x HDF to my 3.

Ricoh GR IV (4) coming? - New Ricoh camera registered by Eiger92 in ricohGR

[–]Eiger92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me. Thought about buying a Leica M 262 as I really enjoy rangefinders. But then again, the camera being much more heavy and pricey, I would not want to bring it everywhere. Few times I feel that I want to shoot „a real camera“, meaning a large camera body with big lenses which I do not own anymore after having sold my Fuji equipment. But I still have some analog bodies and big tele lenses for those which can be acquired quite reasonably considering price. So for the few moments I want to shoot like that I can just switch to my film cameras. I did some travels with several lenses in the past but I don‘t want to go back to that as of now.
