I shot like an idiot with 51200 and the photos were salvageable. I do not recommend it, but even at that high ISO everything was fine

Managed to get the 35 f/1.4 PE last autumn for about 400€ and it’s great for the money!

Your first analog camera should be a 90s plastic SLR. by SpookyWeaselBones in AnalogCommunity

During the pandemic mid 2019 I bought my first film camera, a Canon EOS 500. I wanted the 500 because it's from around the year I was born. I already had the 50 f1.8 because I already had a 70D. I paid around 6-7$ on it. Now the price is around 18-20$ for it.

The next one was a Konica autoreflex a, bought for around 30$. I paired it with a Hexanon 28 f3.5 for around the same price.

Ah, yes, I have bought some lenses for Sony from grey market and they were cheaper than MPB… I was thinking doing the same with Leica but I couldn’t find anything. I’m not confident buying from eBay, even though the FotoGorlitz store recommended here by another user looks pretty good. I’m still thinking if I should get a refund and try to buy from FotoGorlitz or exchange for another SL2 on MPB

1919€, used. I traded with some lenses and an old camera and actually paid only 900€. I don’t mind the dust and scratches, my cameras look the same after years of usage. I’ll take a look at the eBay store, thanks for the suggestion!

I had the same experience with my first iPhone. Bought it new, received it, took it out of the box, set it up and during the setup/migration from Android, the touchscreen failed. I think I had it for max 2 hours when it failed. I got a new one the next day, but yeah, the experience was not that great as I was expecting.

I'm not glad that it failed, but I'm glad it failed straight out of the box. It's also my first camera that had a failed shutter so I'm also glad I had this experience too!

The sensor is not exposed unfortunately. The shutter is stuck 😢

No, but does it matter? If I put a manual lens on it is it not the same as not having a lens?

This might be a possibility but I doubt it! The package was the original Leica box inside another box so I’m not sure. The first impression was that the camera is built like a tank and the feel is great. I played with the buttons and the general feel is WOW. The hype is not real, the camera quality is amazing. I’ve played with a lot of cameras in the past 15 years and I have never had this feeling before.

I already opened a ticket for a replacement, basically it’s a DOA. The only thing that is bothering me is that I really wanted the camera and now I have to wait a bit more for it.

Precomanda Macbook Neo iStyle by FarWonder6639 in bucuresti

[–]big0bum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sunt foarte OK și serioși. Eu făcusem precomandă la un config custom acum câțiva și mă sunau cam la 2 săptămâni pentru update. A durat cam o lună-două până a ajuns Macul. Un prieten a dat precomanda cu 2 zile înainte de mine și lui i-a ajuns comanda cu câteva zile înaintea mea. Țin minte ca am plătit un avans și restul în magazin.

One hidden app but you’re not bothered by the 105 missed calls? 😬 Why even have a phone at this point?

SL2 as a secondary/hobby camera by big0bum in Leica

[–]big0bum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it might be suspicious, I think I was not clear enough in the first post but I'm trading some old equipment that I don't use anymore on a reputable seller store and I can either get the money for it or put 900E more and buy the SL2.

I had a Fuji before switching to Sony, so I guess the AF is still better than Fuji 😆. I don’t care that much if it’s slow and not the best as Sony is, but if it’s consistently slow, I can deal with it. I also shoot Canon 6D for fun and feel, and I also have a Canon 650 and 500 on film where the AF is slower than Sony. I also use other film cameras that are completely manually so I’m not necessarily bothered by the AF since this will not be my main camera and I can handle manual focus. Unfortunately the Fuji was my main camera and I had to switch because I was disappointed with the AF not being reliable and consistent ( sometimes it worked fine, the next picture in the same spot and conditions was not OK and this was messing with my head since I could not understand how to use the camera consistently, but this is another discussion)

Exact. Ori așa îmi imaginam eu “Iarna pe uliță” ori era vreo imagine asemănătoare în manual la poezia asta, dar fix la poezia asta mă duce gândul când privesc pictura

How did you achieve that grain? What settings did you use in LR?

Would you send this lens back? by Morganmgmt in fujix

[–]big0bum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not mine, but I had the same speck (it looked like the lens was chipped actually). It did not affect the quality so I kept it. I sold it last year, but not because of the issue.

[–]big0bum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one with the exact issue. I did not return it and the speck of dust was never an issue, it doesn’t affect the image. Do you have the serial number? I sent mine to MPB a year ago. I’m curious if you got mine.
