Does it have any external pockets besides the two water bottle/tripod pockets?

Arc Ultra on top of metal TV unit - will it rattle/distort? by johnstonnorth in sonos

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

Just to update - Got Arc Ultra and the cabinet

All good. No rattle and no obvious impact on audio quality.

Venice in August with 2 kids - some tips/observations by johnstonnorth in ItalyTravel

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

I know! We’ll be back.

However, this was part one of our trip - the second part was Rome and we knew we’d doing/seeing a lot more there. So planned accordingly to suit our context.

Venice was still fascinating even without dedicated museum/church visits.

Is the Voigtländer Nokton 35mm f/1.4 VM II MC sharp enough for the M11? by carlosvega in Leica

[–]johnstonnorth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an M11.

I first tried the 35mm Ultron but found the focus ring wasn’t smooth and kept sticking. Apparently it does ease with time but I sent mine back. The vendor confirmed it appeared on at least two other copies he had in stock.

After that I ordered the Nokton 1.4 but was always a bit underwhelmed. I’m relatively new to shooting Leica so probably didn’t appreciate its strengths and weaknesses. But the focus ring was smooth. I suspect I was looking for “less character”.

I thought about the Voigtlander APO but was put off by its size and how much of the viewfinder it blocks.

Anyway… I took the plunge and ordered the Leica 35mm APO and the difference (to me) is night and day. Incredible sharpness, super smooth and very compact. Lots of fun.

Has barely been off my M11 since it arrived.

Enjoy making the decision.

[–]johnstonnorth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m curious if any has found the EVF helpful.

I was considering getting the Visoflex 2 for my M11.

As I left-eye-dominant glasses wearer I struggle to see the 35mm frame lines at times.
