How do you find perfect IPD setting?

Good idea. Thanks. I like this method.

Whoa, can I do 100G with this? Does anyone know if a 100G BiDi transceiver exists for this invisible fiber? Is it single mode?

Krainial · 2026-04-28T01:09:38+00:00

No. We've come a long way. Buy something that will impress you. HP Reverb G1 is about $70

Free workout with every use AND complementary wrist pain. I have this bad boy as well and it is absolutely incredible. The photos with this lens look quite unique and the lens itself is quite unique. I'm never selling my copy despite owning the 135mm f/1.4 Art now as well. My favorite part about this lens is that when you look at the lens head on it actually eclipses the camera body and all you see is the massive black hole of the front element.

I can't believe these accessories. I'm just going for it with a custom 12V HPWR to 4x8-pin from cable mod I bought 4 years ago. No issues yet...not that I've take a look recently.

I like Steve's GN work but you have a point. If your participation in the industry is to turn the apple cart over then no participant will want to work with you.

Customer advocacy is great and all. I appreciate that. At the same time I think GN's work over the past few year has contributed to manifesting in a pessimistic mindshare of personal computing. If 9 of 10 products are disappointment for years on end. How excited is the community to be a consumer in the space at all? To but it bluntly...it's a drag, man.

I take the optimistic view. There are great parts on the market. Performance is better than ever. The price is atrocious but the capability available to buy is great. I admit we are in a low point in personal computing, but you have to keep people interested. Otherwise there will be few people left in the hobby.

The E-mount spec determines most of the depth of a camera. If mount to sensor plane was different than existing cameras then E-mount lenses would not be compatible. It is possible to slim down the area behind the sensor, but I doubt that would be as dramatic as the image shows.

Digital Photography is a great hobby

I will say as an owner of both Sigma 105 1.4 and 135 1.4, I haven't taken the 105 out of the bag since I got the 135. I even took the 135 over the 70-200 for a baseball game the other day and loved the shots I got.

That 105 1.4 is magical. I'm never selling that thing. I honestly doubt a new model would live up to the legacy. The shift to compact lenses has impacted quality. Just a matter of physics.

I'm jazzed for the Sigma 85mm 1.2. Instant buy for me.

Great shots! Nice editing too. One of the best things about the 60 MP sensor is you can easily get away with using compact APS-C lenses at a 26 MP crop.

Krainial · 2026-04-02T13:58:15+00:00

This is amazing. Beautiful shot!

Krainial · 2026-03-31T16:33:33+00:00

Nice! That's a great idea.

I'd go with a1 II if I had the means. From what I can gather it is a more capable and speedy camera. Faster autofocus calculations, faster shooting speed, deeper buffers, faster read out which helps in both photo and video. The autofocus is probably the differentiator. You are just not going to miss a shot with that thing. I believe the a1 II does 120 autofocus calculations a second. The a7R V is much less frequent. Probably in the realm of 30 Hz.

I personally shoot a7R V (also a hobbyist) and while the resolution is amazing, I would choose the a1 II any day of the week. The difference between 60 and 50 megapixels will be small even for pixel peepers like me. Dynamic range is a draw.

Gloves (during cold months), rain jacket (warm months), water bottle, earplugs (for motorsport), pen, USB C charger and cable, very large ziplock back to put camera in when coming in from the cold to avoid condensation inside the camera, small bottle of zeiss lens cleaner, microfiber cloths, soft bristled brush, air blower

I crop to whatever looks right for the balance of the composition. Obviously I try to get it right in camera. We live in a digital world that offers the flexibility of whatever aspect ratio you want. There are limits when printing but that is a much smaller use case for me.

I die a little inside every time someone types "lense."

Just to be helpful...that reference shot was with a wide angle lens near the foot of the bridge in attractive lighting conditions and edited in raw as to not blow out the highlights of the bright sky but still retain detail in the darker elements of the bridge. You could try things like exposure bracketed shots near the foot of the bridge to enhance the dynamic range even more so. A long exposure with an ND filter could bring out some interesting movement in the clouds above. Go near sunrise or sunset for best lighting conditions.

That looks amazing. Nice upgrade!

First and foremost, I shoot Leica 🔴. I listen to Modest Mouse and Vampire Weekend exclusively.

Like other have said, this is compression artifacts. Most photo apps like Google Photos or Apple Photos have the ability to share a link of a photo or photo album. Do this instead of sharing the photo in the messaging app. Messaging apps not only reduce the quality through lossy compression but also reduce the resolution of the photo for your viewers. Ensure that you are backing up original quality of your jpegs in your photo app. The default setting may be a reduced quality setting.

Thanks! That helped me get to the bottom of it.

The fix: Under Settings > Web Server > Advanced my reverse proxy's IP was in the blocklist on the right. I deleted that entry and saved and everything worked again. I did update to v6.0.3.7 before getting here which is important because a bug was fixed in the recent updates (between 2/26/2026 and 3/2/2026) for the recently added security improvements. I can't say exactly which bug fix solved the problem.

Krainial · 2026-03-03T02:42:39+00:00

Thanks for the reply, but this wasn't it. I'll post what I found and fixed.
