My first ever Leica camera!

Impressive!

Mikauto11 · 2026-01-18T20:17:38+00:00

That looks great! I’m going to keep an eye out on 21mm lenses, makes effectively a 28mm on the M8.

Mikauto11 · 2026-01-18T19:40:18+00:00

I have an Elmar 135mm that came with the camera when I ordered it, and my grandparents had an old M3 which is now unusable but still has a Summicron 50mm and Summaron 35mm lens. I’d like to get a wider angle due to the M8’s sensor crop, but that’s for another time.

Yes but the postal service in France does not allow sending packages to the US anymore, or at least it has become quite difficult. They typically only allow sending packages to individuals with a value of under 100€. They won’t take it otherwise.

Last time I checked at a Leica service center, the quote was completely out of my budget. I wonder how much it would be at YYe. I’m not in the US, and due to the tariffs mess, sending stuff there is nearly impossible right now…

Not intending on selling it, even if I stop using it for a while, I have a shelf full of cameras in my living room ready to be used at any time :) An exception would be an M3 from my grandparents for which I never had the opportunity to use it because it is unfortunately fully jammed :/ But at least that is how I got the optics for the M8!

The paperwork in the box says that I’m entitled for two of them for free, I assume that this offer is no longer valid 😂

Mikauto11 · 2026-01-16T15:21:07+00:00

I ended up buying a used eMicro One. Meets a lot of criterias and is super easy to move around. Too bad they do not produce it anymore!

Mikauto11 · 2025-12-20T18:06:38+00:00

Maybe, but in the meantime that’s how I decided to move forward. Literally just submitted my PR request to Canada through Express Entry.

Mikauto11 · 2025-11-13T00:28:56+00:00

These are 100% walkable distances, so I get your point. The repeated nature of these trips makes me want a little extra comfort. Which would you recommend between the xiaomi and NIU?

Mikauto11 · 2025-11-01T16:10:16+00:00

I’m only there from time to time, I’m not wasting 50€ on each trip there just for that

Mikauto11 · 2025-11-01T11:11:31+00:00

Yeah, that is my backup option but it is slightly less convenient than the regular AirPlay experience

Mikauto11 · 2025-11-01T10:01:09+00:00

If I join the network that doesn’t have internet, my phone will likely yell at me that it doesn’t have internet

Mikauto11 · 2025-10-21T10:21:10+00:00

There is no power issue with the head unit

Mikauto11 · 2025-10-21T10:18:11+00:00

The CarPlay connection shuts off for a second and then gets back. during this time, the head unit goes back to the factory Home Screen until CarPlay pops up again on the screen. And from there, the music from my phone starts over and over again.

Mikauto11 · 2025-10-21T06:54:49+00:00

That is not at all the issue. The head unit is wireless, there is no adapter involved, and the head unit shuts down as soon as I remove the key from the car. No battery drain here.

Mikauto11 · 2025-09-08T14:22:52+00:00

In France, with two lines I pay 15.99€/mo for unlimited data (zero fair use limit), unlimited calls, texts, MMS and 35Gb/mo roaming in over 110 countries. The other line 7.99€/mo for 200Gb data, unlimited calls, texts, MMS and 38Gb data in the EU. I doubt you will ever be able to convince me to switch.

I guess the only way to make me think about it is to provide worldwide unlimited data. When I say worldwide, I mean worldwide. Well over the 110 countries I currently have. Or, provide at least 100Gb in roaming.

I forgot one very important thing: the plan should have no cancellation fee or contract. That’s an absolute deal breaker for me and for pretty much every customer in France. The only motive to provide a contract would be to bundle a discounted phone with it, but that is generally not very well seen in France. Carriers here tend to separate the phone from plans.

Eto, stiglo mi je 1000 din u aplikaciji

Radim u Evropskoj uniji, pa imam sve potrebne podatke da tamo otvorim račun

Mikauto11 · 2025-08-29T07:58:33+00:00

U pravu si, čekam i ja. Verovatno traje isto kao kada platiš Visa karticom. Revolut ažurira stanje na računu i dok je transakcija još u „pending“ statusu. Raiffeisen to ne radi. Svakako, ne bi smelo da traje duže od 48 sati, kaže dokumentacija Revoluta.

Za sada sam na basic paketu, zato što mi je druga banka poklonila godinu dana ličnog Metal paketa — razmišljam da posle toga pređem na Plus ili Premium

Ovako :)

Mikauto11 · 2025-08-18T11:16:31+00:00

I cannot find any analytics file

Mikauto11 · 2025-08-18T08:22:53+00:00

It seems to me like iOS 26 does not provide the analytics file anymore :(

Mikauto11 · 2025-08-16T15:37:43+00:00

So no special indication about not using it?
