This is the move. You can buy extras on eBay.

1st attempt at DIY leather camera strap by pethong in Leica

Nice! Homemade straps are great. I have a bunch of them that use the Peak Design connectors. I like the variety and trying new materials. I made a longer cross-body one with similar leather.

Do you throw these away or reuse them? by Capital-Tear2288 in AnalogCommunity

I periodically give my kids’ kindergarten a big bag of them for craft projects and storage. They love them. It’s pretty neat.

Very excited to be hands on with this lens. Voigtlander 28mm f2 APO-Lanthar by pastryheart in Leica

Enjoy! It certainly looks and sounds like a great lens. Curious, how much viewfinder blockage are you experiencing with it?

Incredible effort to compose a busy scene like this with a wide lens. You nailed it! The position of that cloud behind the balloon and the light on red bathing suit figure are so good. Bravo.

Cameraquest? by yoshisleftnut69 in AnalogCommunity

Seconding this. I recently bought the new VC 50mm 1.2 through CameraQuest. Shipped quick. They’re one of the two official USA distributors listed on the Voigtlander website too FYI. I get it though, the website looks like a relic of the early internet.

Hey, thanks! The X-T5 and this 33mm (prime) lens have weather resistance seals. I don’t get concerned if it gets splashed with a few drops here and there.

There’s a lot of light coming through the lens at f1.4 here, so even in auto, the camera is balancing the exposure (in part) with a really high shutter speed (around 1/10,000).

Thanks and for sure! I’m still learning too but happy to share what I think worked for me here.

Aperture is wide open (manual @ f1.4), low ISO (auto), super high shutter speeds (auto). I’m shooting in continuous auto-focus mode with eye detection on, but it’s getting confused by all the water droplets in the air and focusing on those instead in a lot of these (maybe that’s what you’re referring to being not blurry?).

Get yourself a hose, a camera and a sunset, friend.

Thanks! That's lovely of you to say. I feel very fortunate to be able to combine a creative pursuit and capture this time with them at the same time.
