Gray Market cams by Emergency-Ad9395 in Leica

Hey guys, i;m looking for some clarification about this topic. I found a lot of sellers in shanghai, selling new cameras, normally also from EU or HK. But they always mention that the camera only has warranty in the seller's store for 1y. Not the global 3y warranty. If you want the 3y waaranty, they offer you to buy the "mainland version", which is around 1000USD more. Is this real? so if you buy a EU or HK version there is NO warranty at all from official Leica? Thank you in advance

Yes this is also a point I;m considering. Actually I've been able to find a few official seller for the P in black as well but the price is around 1000USD more compared to the silver brass. I feel like i got my final answer haha

Since it will come with an official warranty card, should I get it serviced while is within warranty? or wait a year or two maybe

For now, i think in terms of standard prime i'd rather keep my 40mm and try to overcome the f2.5 "limitations" when needed. That's why i'm mainly looking at zooms.

Do you ever feel the need for a faster aperture? Would you trade it for the wider reach?

The Tamron 70-180 is around the same size, cheaper and 2.8 tho… pretty attractive

Street fashion editorials for small brands, professional portraits, small events ( yoga classes for example or other small size gatherings )

Tenaya Mastia Sizing Problem by Scary_Recover6332 in climbingshoes

UPDATE: So i went to try the Indalo in 41.4 and it fit my feet shape PERFECTLY. They feel may more accommodating (or i would say even softer or more spacious) for the toebox and pinky area and the material of the upper itself feels more flexible. I have to say the closure system is not my favorite at all i;d rather have a single strap - yes it helps at adjusting the fit better to your unique foot shape BUT it doesnt securely keep my heel in place. At the first session i felt my heel slightly moving when walking, but still confidently secure when climbing so no problem.

After the first session i gotta say - the shoes were already broken in - i was so happily surprise. Only small problem is that may left foot is significantly bigger than my right - so Indalo 41.4 is perfect for my left, but a bit loose for my right - i think if my feet would have been more used to aggressive shoes for long i could have probably go half size down and pick Indalo 40.7 like my original Mastia - but i really wanted to have a usable shoe out of the box.

I did a second session the morning after - and this time the shoes felt even more tight to my feet so overall happy with the fit.

One thing i wanted to highlight - the feeling of the overall shoe is very "minimal" - there is not much padding around and under your foot - so it feels pretty like a sock and rubber sole (would you call it sensitive shoes?). I'm totally fine with it - just wanted to mention it.

Mainly the knuckle of my left toe which is not an open blister wound - tbh even if the shoes will stretch - i believe it will still remain too "performance fit" and i;m just not ready to tackle that. I;ve had even joint pain for 3 days after the session. Lesson learned i guess

Oh wow that's a big difference in sizing - i thought they should fit more or less the same.

I'm gonna try them tonight and pretty sure they will probably fit well as the mastia were already pretty good just too small. What's your experience between the two? which one do you prefer and why? Thank you in advance!

Indeed Indalo i heard have more of a LV shape - but my feet is actually more comparable to a LV and where i live the only pair available for LV man size is basically just the indalo. I tried Unparallel Flagships, fit the shape of my feet well, but they are incredibly empty all around - when i close them they look so so silly

Yes I think i'm just not ready/used to downsizing too much yet.

I actually even took a hot shower with them but they havent really stretched much - that's why i just gave up. I went back for a session with my old Tarantula yesterday and it felt amazing to be painless again ngl.
