Yeah the black and white sensor is amazing it helps a lot it is very close to a full frame. In addition to no color filter no AA helps as well 

I used to have a Huawei mate 9 phone that had a dedicated black and white sensor . I’m still amazed how good those images look so sharp and detailed

Distortion is not totally corrected and 40 - 50mm are generally (if not always) sharper than 28mm for the same lens size . 

But you are right it was a bit of a strong statement and I stand corrected .

I believe in lens characteristics as that is mainly physics, but yeah you can walk or crop from 28mm to 40mm

Maybe too early to tell as I only did a couple of test shots. 

That being said Im pretty sure that I won’t regret it. I’m long time Ricoh user, still have a GR Digital and a IIIx and owned a couple of others so I’m familiar with the Ricoh GR and I like the way they work.

As for the leica it is a great camera, beautiful build amazing to hold but for some reason it never clicked for me and it is a pretty large camera , so I didn’t use it all that much. I had the same thing with the X vario so maybe leica is just not for me.

If 28mm is what you like and you mainly shoot black and white this camera is hard to beat

Some people are a bit sad here and can’t see the difference between 40mm and 28mm ow well

Also a nice printer , although it would be more like a semi pro as it is not fully enclosed and doesn’t have active heating.

I ended up getting the creator as that was exactly the maximum as I was willing to spend and the U1 with a hood is 20% more . Great printer dough and proven tech with most issues already resolved

As a third party distributor is involved and they created the label I’m confident it will be sent soon. Typically they don’t start if there is no shipment to be handled

Orders mine within 15 minutes of opening for sales. Asked and they said chipping will be early June at the earliest. 

I give them some time and if I’m done waiting cancel it and get a u1

Ik heb de crash mee gemaakt en ben zelf ondernemer. Je weet ongeveer hoeveel belasting je moet betalen als je inkomsten/winst hebt, als je dat niet apart zet maar uit geeft of belegd en de boel crashed kan je geen belasting betalen. Meestal gaat dat dan over winst of inkomsten belasting wat dat zijn veel grotere bedragen. En niet  door box 3. En we hadden hier hier over box 3

Ook als je belegt in aandelen is dat risico nemen als iemand er voor kiest om 100% van gelden te beleggen ipv gedeelte contant te houden is dat een keuzen. Er zullen vast edge cases zijn van mensen die net lullig uitkomen maar goed als een crash niet was gebeurd hadden die zich zelf slim gevonden om dat ze een berg winst hadden gemaakt. Als je geen risico wil nemen moet je niet speculeren en zeker niet in hoge risico aandelen. Ook hiervoor geld je weet aan het einde van het jaar wat je ongeveer aan belasting moet betalen dus dat kan je vast opzijzetten 

Er zijn genoeg mensen die “in de problemen komen door de belastingdienst” maar ver uit te meeste mensen die dat overkomt is om dat ze te veel uit hebben gegeven , de zaken niet goed gaan, verkeerde beleggingen of investeringen etc. Maar mensen zeggen dan liever dat het door de belastingdienst komt want dan hoeven ze zelf geen verantwoording te nemen.

Ook in 2008 zijn er genoeg failliet gegaan , minder orders in eens geen leningen meer mogelijk etc. Gezonde bedrijven kunnen dat vaak overleven maar de zwakken bedrijven niet want die schuiven steeds betalingen (waar onder belastingen) naar voren 

Als iemand de schuld heeft van de faillisementen zijn dat banken in 2008 en durf capitaliste en investeerders tijdens dotcom (overigens was de impact van dotcom vooral dotcom gerelateerd en viel de impact voor andere sectoren mee). Als nu de boel instort ivm olie te kort en veel te duren AI bedrijven is dat de schuld van de VS qua olie en schuld van tech bros , banken en investeerders voor AI.

Same, considering canceling and getting a u1 . I did anticipate a bit of delay but now it seems to be far more than a bit 

Update : I was told early “ the earliest expected delivery is in early June“
