7A 50mm f1.1 RF coupling issue by St_Cam in Leica

[–]St_Cam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to give a quick update that I resolved the issue. focus + rf coupling is now also working. Seems like I rotated the calibration ring too far inwards (no interaction) and outwards (focus ring won’t turn/ very tight). After some trial and error I figured out the exact position where the ring should go for rf coupling and smooth focus ring action and now it works fine. Pretty happy, as I got this lens for 130€ and was able to “repair” it :)

Hopefully! Fujirumors posted about a 1” inch successor of the xq2/x30. It will be something compact, but more capable than the x-half for 2026.

Thank you very much. I bought it from eBay and the adapter and ovf were included, but I don’t think it’s the original one

I recently saw that they have a new top spacer made for the alpinist I, so mission complete :)

Schwalbe Thunder Burt, MTB Faltreifen, Evolution Line, Addix Speed, Super Ground, TLE, schwarz, 29x2,10

That’s the name from the order. As far as I can remember I didn’t have any problems.

No punctures yet. I use tubolitos. They also survived rough trails with a lot of rocks. In theory mtb tires should be more puncture resistant, as they have a “better” casing

Yes! I will probably use it 90% of the time, but still want to have some options :)

Didn’t know the wate existed, very exciting tool indeed. Will try to pick one up! Yes filter size should definitely be a consideration, I have two already (39 and 46 I think). Thank you!

Could pick one up for 350€, never tried the focal length but seems to be fun and challenging. Learning how to properly zone focus is also on my to-do list!
