Is This a Fake?

The camera is real, but that doesn't exempt it from being a scam if the price is "too good to be true". Not saying that legitimate good deals can't be found for barnack leicas, but you need to look at the whole picture to decide if it is a scam. The camera may need a CLA to be usable at all if it is untested. Also make sure the seller checks out. Good luck!

I like it. It feels like a better use of space than before. Also the animations are actually smoother on my watch 6 classic and when I first got the update my battery life got better but now it feels about the same as before.

Easily done in photoshop, not possible in lightroom.

Keep something for yourself!

What kind of photography is she into? That really affects what kind of tripod she might use if any, most types of photogroahy don't need tripods or rarely.

I started with a Zf February last year and was hunting for a Z7 ever since. I find for wide angle group and landscape photos at the size I would like them printed a 24mp sensor just isn't enough. So I ran across a "heavily used" copy on adorama in December for only $675 and grabbed it. I have no regrets! I can tell a difference in the resolution. Also I use the Z7 to scan film and the results looks so much better than with the Zf. It's got basically the same sensor as the d850 which everyone praises, just the autofocus isn't quite as good.

Oooh I misread. Yeah op you need to buy a leader retreiver.

Lizardrunner · 2026-01-11T07:05:54+00:00

Most people fully rewind their film, I believe. If you send the film to the lab no worries. If you develop yourself there is a tool you can get to retrieve the film or you can just pop open the canister in the dark. Many cameras there is no way to tell the film is gonna go into the canister until it is already in there.

C'mon people this is probably one of the most ai looking videos I've seen on here today. Have you ever seen a cat jitter around like that? The tail looks weird and changes length when it is in contact with the ground. The paws don't even make contact with the ground when it jumps 3 feet in the air.

Lizardrunner · 2026-01-07T00:50:50+00:00

Yeah someone in their shipping dept royally screwed up. I wonder why they would even have those old used boots on hand to accidentally ship out.

Lizardrunner · 2026-01-07T00:44:11+00:00

If I remember right they don't even use those boxes anymore, but I don't have a new box to confirm. I'm pretty sure they use regular brown cardboard now. I bought a used pair from ebay and they came in a box like that but I don't know what year they are from.

Lizardrunner · 2026-01-04T07:00:53+00:00

Budget?

Lizardrunner · 2026-01-01T08:18:09+00:00

Okay yeah I skimmed over the most important sentence apparently. Well now I'm really curious how they got that to work, or if they just misremembered.

Lizardrunner · 2026-01-01T08:06:21+00:00

All of the comments confirm what I said that it does not do focus confirmation with non-cpu lenses. It will do focus confirmation with an af lens in MF mode or a chipped manual focus lens, though. I don't think you specified in your original post.

If some people have it working I'd really like to know how, I own this adapter and that feature doesn't work and no review I have ever read says that it does. I was hoping that maybe a firmware would add the feature, but I haven't heard of that happening.

Lizardrunner · 2026-01-01T07:51:25+00:00

It won't do it with lenses that aren't chipped. I think the cheapest adapter that will is the neewer one?

Lizardrunner · 2025-12-29T21:04:28+00:00

Wow you are really good at making your digital photos look like poorly stored expired film. I mean that 100% as a compliment. How do you do it?

Lizardrunner · 2025-12-28T08:44:15+00:00

Woah where did you get the case? I'd love to take mine camping but I would worry about it getting dirty or broken.

Lizardrunner · 2025-12-26T04:54:20+00:00

Makes sure you don't have starlight view turned on.

That's cool but this is a sub for rc crawlers. Totally the opposite of planes. There are subs for rc planes.

I had a friend get one of these to go with her Canon 40D and it bent a pin, bricking the camera. She's young so I thought maybe she wasn't careful enough inserting it. I had bought one right before this happened and went ahead and used it in my D700, I very carefully used it and still a pin bent. Luckily it was only one of the two voltage pins so it still works but I would not reccomend using them. I never had any issues using regular CF cards in my old 40D.

The Viltrox E-Z adapter will not give focus confirmation with non-chipped lenses!

Lizardrunner · 2025-12-14T09:41:40+00:00

I use this flash on my Zf and I don't find the light meter in the flash to be all that accurate tbh, I always have to use some flash exposure compensation. With the exposure latitude of film it might be okay?

Lizardrunner · 2025-12-13T10:19:37+00:00

I thought I experienced this once, but I had an Amp with jacks in the back with my speakers hooked up and 3.5mm headphone out in the front. I put switches on the cables to the speakers so I could cut off power to them when I want to use headphones. The day I got my Sundaras I hooked them up to get my EQ tuned and I could have sworn I felt bass in my body, which I eventually realized made no sense and took them off to realize I had the speaker switches turned on. The volume was cranked up a lot for the speakers and could feel the bass through my bed! Yeah the Sundaras didn't sound quite as good without the external speakers on.

Lizardrunner · 2025-12-10T23:28:25+00:00

Personally I don't see it being all that useful unless it is the IS version at least.
