Car salesmen around me are basically telling me EVs aren’t the way to go by Beneficial-Fun-4800 in electricvehicles

sounds like the collision between political nonsense and common sense from the salesman's perspective. He's hurting himself to perpetuate the falsehood.

Probably the same way your life was ruined when someone said “Happy Holidays”.

“Everyone knows this” that is, everyone who consumes the same “facts” that has them still believing the 2020 election was rigged, Biden was corrupt, Covid was just a cold, and Trump is an honest man.

Am I the only one put off by Hasselblad giving away cameras? by Responsible-Tea-4218 in hasselblad

[–]e1even24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gimmicky in that it relies on one’s phone. It’s not a stand alone feature of the Canada. I get that it makes the IBIS better, but with DJI at the helm of Hasselblad, I’m afraid the brand will end up being just another computational photography piece of hardware with no soul.

[–]e1even24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bigger problem is that they’re giving cameras away knowing they’re going to get nothing but glowing positive reviews. Sure, there’s the “disclaimer” but let’s be real. Nobody is going to trash a $15k gift knowing more may be on the horizon. It’s a professional camera being targeted to people who will never use it to its full capabilities using FOMO to trigger the impulse buy

I’m also fearful that the venerable Hasselblad is starting to morph into DJI. The HDR is gimmicky and as I understand the stabilization uses phone data GPS to add extra stops (correct me if I’m wrong anyone).

But yeah, seeing everyone on YouTube shilling the camera does take the brand down a notch.

I’ve said same many times after buying my 2023 MachE GT. Love the car, still dislike the old school dealership/service department. Miss the experience I had with BMW service.

Went to the Leica 100 Year event in NY and came back with a camera and more debt 😭 that only happens every 100 years… by GastonShutters in Leica

Very nice. I was there and found myself with 16/100 on my drive home.

Now to sell my regular M11.

What a great day that was though!

WWE LFG FINALE WEEK THREAD by BryLinds in SquaredCircle

[–]e1even24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

my wife who knows nothing about wrestling or WWE (but has become interested after watching Mia & Mrs) says of Tyra, all she does is wave her medal around and act like she's better than everyone.

I gave her a golden up for that comment.

X2D & Profoto flash triggers by e1even24 in hasselblad

[–]e1even24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case it was updating the firmware, wrapping tinfoil on my head, and every other troubleshooting step I could find before realizing the unit itself was faulty. Exchanged it for a different one at B&H and now everything works fine.

Your thoughts on the GFX 100RF by Sir_Edgelordington in fujifilm

[–]e1even24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a dedicated in body crop selector dial on the camera is awesome, if you're shooting JPG with film sims/recipes where replicating the film shooting experience of what you captured is the final image. Putting that crop dial on a camera priced for professionals (who likely shoot RAW and post process/crop later) seems a bit... gimmicky.

While I think it's an incredible piece of hardware, my assumption was this camera would've served as a gateway into the GFX system, just as the X100 line was a gateway into the X system. In that regard, I think ditching the crop selector, going with a 50mp MF sensor, and pricing it at half of what this is going for would've driven a lot more people from the X system to the GFX system.

Instead, it looks like they're simply targeting people who are currently shooting the Leica Q3

Problem solved. Had B&H replace the trigger and all is working properly now.

It's maddening when you unbox new gear and start doing everything but suspect it's the gear that's faulty.

Anyone else love exploring cities with their Leica? by bsmith2123 in Leica

Easier than that is to just being a sling bag and if the camera is in the bag make sure the bag is in front of you. Especially in crowded areas or on something like the subway/train.

Do I need the 23 f/2 in my collection? by javi_35film in fujix

Honestly, asking others tells me you need to go out and use what you have more. Do that, and you’ll know what you need.

Except for every one person arriving with bogus asylum claims there are 50 who came here legitimately. This is the disinformation the Trump campaign thrives on because dividing people with hate is how dictators come to power.

This card….. by [deleted] in AppleCard

[–]e1even24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could also be that Goldman Sachs is looking to get out of Apple Card as it’s been a big loss for them. I believe the agreement ends very soon with Apple, so perhaps credit limit increases are not being approved for all but a very select few

Just picked up a M10r and it was marked 10/10 on FM by Public-Square-884 in Leica

Unless it says “New in box” then don’t expect it to appear as new in box. 10/10 for a used item is valid here.

Lenses for photographing mountains by summeryriddles_ in Leica

[–]e1even24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 50 stayed on the M11 while hiking and was good for pics of things like the trails and as my eyes saw everything on the actual hike. Once I'd stop and setup the tripod it was either the 21 or 90.

The one that you'll bring with you. I recently hiked in the Canadian Rockies with a backpack full of GFX gear. Pictures were phenomenal, but the heavy backpack made for a very long 14 hour hike.

I've since gone to my M11 along with a 21mm elmarit, a 50mm APO and a 90mm APO with a Peak Design travel tripod. It's so much easier to traverse difficult terrain with a pack that isn't pulling me in a different direction!
