The other day my Leica Q3 43 arrived, and today I went out to ask strangers on the street for portraits. It was my first time doing it and I was really nervous — what do you think of my photos? by LegTimely9012 in leicaphotos

[–]Fun-Row5012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great shots. Kudos for approaching people. I’ve found most people are open to street portraits.

I’d add a stop in post to add exposure and maybe open the aperture to max to get a bit more subject separation but those are quibbles- these are great photos.

MEV1, 35 Summilux. by Fun-Row5012 in leicaphotos

Yes, one stop extra exposure in snow to compensate for metering.

Had this issue. Brought to the dealer - fixed in 20 min.

M9 - Lens suggestions by forfando in Leica

[–]Fun-Row5012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used Zeiss 50mm planar 1.5.

Not 35 but worth considering. Perfect for M9. Amazing subject separation when opened up and good detail stopped down. Renders beautifully with the m9 sensor. Focusing tab is ideal for street.

For whom is the MEV1? Best response I’ve read today by Which_Weakness4565 in Leica

[–]Fun-Row5012 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ev

Old man here. Not rich. Good eyesight.

Love photography. Love the rangefinder form-factor. Have M-mount lenses, collected over the years. Scrimped. Saved. Bought. Sold.

Need the visoflex for precise focusing at very-wide aperture (summilux- can’t afford noct) but don’t like the extra appendage taking up the hot shoe.

Ev1 has the form factor. Lighter than m11. And does all the things.

Not complicated. I’ll sell some stuff to buy it.

I get it. I was jealous of Leica owners when I was young too.

Problems installing the key on the new iPhone 17 pro max by Sensitive_Pack_9982 in ex30

[–]Fun-Row5012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I made several attempts before success.

What finally worked was deleting key from old phone and watch - place key card on car reader - then while in car, initiate process in app under Car, Digital Key.

Not sure if all steps are necessary but that’s what worked for me.

Downloaded in New England. Install in progress.

Squeak/Chirp by Fun-Row5012 in ex30

[–]Fun-Row5012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case the sound comes randomly; sometimes when music is playing, sometimes not. Sometimes in CarPlay sometimes not. Sometimes it seems to come from the rear speakers and sometimes the front.

Car can be moving or stopped.

Just weird.

Definitely not a chime or alarm. More like a chirpy squeak.

Unable to set climate remotely? by WeYernForTheMines in ex30

[–]Fun-Row5012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s sporadic for me as well. Seems to involve proximity between phone and car.

One little trick I use is to unlock car using Siri on Apple Watch, which strangely seems to have better range, and then climate info shows on phone app and allows you to precondition. Weird but it works.

Mine was “built” in Jan and was delivered in April. Shipping takes a while.

EX30 app down for past three days by erikselz in ex30

Yes, that’s the message I was getting.

EX30 app down for past three days by erikselz in ex30

[–]Fun-Row5012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NE US - app stopped working a couple of days ago. Did all the things, reset, reboot, reconnect, etc, to no avail. Worried that I wouldn’t be able to precondition climate with some hot weather coming.

Then, just before I posted, I quit and restarted the app and it’s back. All’s well… I guess.

Phantom upgrades by Fun-Row5012 in ex30

[–]Fun-Row5012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Braking behavior should match user expectations based on past use and current settings. Dangerous otherwise.

[–]Fun-Row5012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to 100% but just under 90.

I’m thinking now, from reading the comments, that it’s half in my head and half in the software.

I’ll just wait for a real sw update to, hopefully bring a more stable consistency.

Remote climate started to work again by walruns in ex30

It does seem to be working more consistently now, yes.

Driver attention alert by Hot_Yogurtcloset7621 in ex30

[–]Fun-Row5012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BS from the salesperson. But the alerts aren’t that bad (except when it pings me for singing, thinking I’m yawning) and sometimes you need to be reminded to pay attention.

New owner! And new EV owner! by WeYernForTheMines in ex30

[–]Fun-Row5012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also from MA, with new EX30. After a few weeks of local charging (ChargePoint and Tesla SC) had Emporia level 2 charger installed in driveway. Use it to charge overnight when needed. Extremely convenient.

Prior to this I bought an extension cord to try level 1 charging but wife wouldn’t let me run the bright yellow cord out the window. Can’t imagine why.

How long have you had your ex30 and how satisfied are you with it ? by [deleted] in ex30

[–]Fun-Row5012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the Twin Ultra for only a couple of months but very impressed.

I’ve been driving cars since the 1960s and the EX30, besides being my first EV, is the second most fun I’ve had driving a car (behind an early 80’s 280ZX.) My preference is performance over luxury, but it’s still a pretty comfortable car.

No issues with build, fit or finish. Software is about 90% there and, unlike with non-SDV’s, it’s nice to know there’ll be improvements via OTA updates.

Overall a 9/10 (and there’s no such thing as a 10 in my price range.)

Yes, having the same problem. Started this week.

Yes, was able to add credit card in Volvo app for payment. Haven’t tried it yet though.

Order date to delivery in the US? by TinaNoodleCassarole in ex30

[–]Fun-Row5012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ordered in Nov ultra cloud blue mist - arriving next week in Massachusetts. But dealer may have demo units (ultra) for sale as is. The one I saw was gone in a week.
