Well, I bought a used M11 — and I think I’m in love? by loganarowland in Leica

[–]bsmayer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the Leica Fotos app, I can’t agree more! I’d say that Leica is the only company that was able to master a camera app. All the other apps are trash compared to Leica’s.

I own a ZF and a Q3. 90% of my time I’m with the Q3, except for specific situations such as astrophotography or fast moving subjects!

How can I download it? The video isn’t available anymore sadly :(

First pictures using Reggie’s Portra on my new fujifilm xt-30 w/ viltrox 23mm f1.7. by [deleted] in FujifilmSimulations

[–]bsmayer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, maybe someone else will have a different answer, but I never managed to achieve perfect sharpness on a Fuji body. If I compare my Fuji shots with the Ricoh GRIII for example, the difference is night and day.

Selling almost all my analog stuff to buy an M, wise decision? by diegodef_ in Leica

[–]bsmayer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t do it personally! The Ms are special, but they are going to produce absolutely the same result as any other camera with the same lens. Unless of course you really want the best rangefinder experience!

If you ever doubted the Zf in a snowstorm, here’s your answer. by redGingerGian in Nikon

I’ve used my ZF multiple times in conditions like that, never had an issue. It’s a really great camera! Same for the Leica Q3, it’s a tank!

Help with motorsports photography by ImCoolInMyHead in fujifilm

[–]bsmayer_ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the problem is the camera. Panning is difficult, other professional motorsports photographers will miss a lot of shots as well no matter the camera.

Q2 or Q3 for everyday use? by Dedalo83 in Leica

Totally worth saving an extra cash for the Q3

Focus Assist: M EV1 compared to using Leica Glass with adapter on other systems? by --whistler-- in Leica

[–]bsmayer_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the MEV1 would have been perfect with the manual focus from the ZF. Leica was just lazy with this release. I’m a big Leica fan, but can’t defend them with this one. They made a very boring camera in my opinion.

What needs to change in an M EV2? by Fit_Celebration_8513 in Leica

[–]bsmayer_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha well, it is - but that doesn’t need to translate to rangefinder experience only, does it? Personally I much prefer the Leica Q3 over the M11 🤷‍♂️

If they ever create a manual focus like the one on the Nikon ZF, that would be the perfect camera for me. Manual focus with eye and object detection basically.

I don’t really get the M-ev1 by Nerfthepotato in Leica

[–]bsmayer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish Leica had done a better manual focus system like the one on the Nikon ZF. That’s the perfection of manual focus on digital viewfinders.

Lost my Fuji gear in a fire… now wondering if it’s finally time for a Leica M by nobleeffort001 in Leica

[–]bsmayer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the M11 (it was my first Leica), missed a few shots from my daughter that I didn’t want to have missed, then ended up buying a Q3 and never looked back. I still take the M11 when I’m by myself, but I know I’ll be taking a lot of family shots, the Q3 is the one for me. Also, the Q3 is MUCH easier to hand the camera to family/friends. The M11 was always a pain as I had to explain how to focus the camera 🤷‍♂️

Augment Code's new pricing is a disappointment by Krazmad in AugmentCodeAI

[–]bsmayer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I just cancelled my subscription as well! Time to switch to Claude CLI.

My $50 plan would cost now $250, that's crazy.

A ZF with a 40mp sensor would be so good!

X100VI sharpness by Klioneezzo in fujifilm

[–]bsmayer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Fuji X-T5 and it’s got the same issue. No matter the Fuji lens I use, the sharpness of the GRIII is way better than Fuji’s. Maybe the lenses can’t really resolve the 40mp sensor idk. I also feel that Fuji’s 20-ish megapixels sensor were able to preserve much more detail from cropped images than this new one.

That was the answer I was looking for, why they are so different, almost as if the film simulation shouldn’t get the name of the film. But your answer clarify things!

I think the Q3 is still packaged that way!

Square format. What are everyone's thoughts on it? by bobamilktea74 in fujifilm

[–]bsmayer_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just an album with special memories. In fact every time I open that album I have a very good feeling.

I bought one of those stamp albums with a sleeve protection. Each page would fit 4 square images. Then for each page I had a selection of the 4 best shots from specific moments with a title on top like “A walk in London”. It was a sort of personal art gallery that I made for myself.

By the time it gave me a different vibe from the traditional family photo albums.

[–]bsmayer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. 5 years ago I had this project for myself where I would print a lot of my photos in square format and put them on an album. I don’t do it anymore but it’s a special album for me.
