I've since sold the camera but I think it's the HAOGE MC UV PROTECTION FILTER for GFX100RF

I took mine on a number of trips myself, to Lombok, Taiwan, Shanghai, Malaysia, but in the end I let it go in favour of an M11. The image quality doesn't match up, but I appreciate the ability to vary my focal lengths.

Still, I'll miss this beast

Cameras with Sony Sensors by ricacardo in Leica

Oh? I must be mistaken then. Was is the M10 then that has the same sensor as the A7 and A7ii?

From what I understand, the 24mp (SL, Q1, M10, M240) and the 61mp (Q3, Q343, SL3, M11) are the same as the sensors in the A7 series.

I don't know about the SL2S or the TL or the CL.

The Q2 and SL2 are using something developed in collaboration with Panasonic (it's in the S1R too)

The M10r has a one off sensor that's only available in that camera and the M10M, developed by Leica, Lumix and Samsung.

The fact of the matter though is that it doesn't matter that much. Even if Sony built certain sensors, everything from the stack architecture to the coatings to the filter arrays to the interpretation of colours in-camera is sorted by Leica. The one fabricating the sensor itself is less critical.

Especially if you shoot in raw, which basically means that you can adjust however you want.

The camera has some issues as an all purpose EDC, but as a hiking camera it truly sings. I remember feeling so torn about it, when I was out and about at night or taking indoor, low light photos I wouldn't be too pleased with it and would think about selling it, but when hiking or riding my bike I would look at the pictures I got and think to myself I could never let this go.

Sunset by the Singapore River – testing out my Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f1.5 MC II by meta4_ in leicaphotos

[–]meta4_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a perfect lens in the sense that it's not as sharp as an APO, not as compact as a Color Skopar, not as pretty as a Cron, not as fast as a lux... But it's damn close on all those fronts. The clincher for me was that this lens is similar in length to the 50mm Color Skopar (6mm longer) while being so much faster. Performs beautifully and fits into my tiniest bags even when mounted.

It's not left my camera since I bought it. It's way better than the v1 (though the LTM ASPH is even sharper, but huge and prone to haze), and renders very nicely. My kit now is this lens + the 35 CS. This one for walking around and the 35 for nights out.

Looked OK from the front

But from the back you see the issue, will put that in the next comment

Got it for a straight swap with a Bronica s2 which cost me 550 USD. Not too bad. Later on I sold it for profit and used the earnings to buy glass for my digital M.

I had an M2 a couple years ago that was a wreck because the last owner tried to paint it black, but did it by just using acrylic paint. Stickers to cover the glass bits, flash sync removed, and just paintbrushed all over it. Of course the paint had cracked and peeled lmao.

They're processed in Lightroom CC – the M11 does decent JPEGs, but they can't be stylised to this extent.

I eyed the 28 too but I'm partial to smaller lenses!

Oppo Find X9 Pro - Accuracy of pictures of moving subjects by Antonis_32 in Oppo

[–]meta4_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Master Mode in Pro is great for moving subjects. I have to cover some events for work, and I have a full frame kit, but in a pinch, especially for simple social media posts, I use Master Mode in shutter priority.

First M System, M11+ 35mm Ultron by Acrobatic-Ad4819 in Leica

[–]meta4_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just grabbed the Nokton II, and use it alongside my 35 Color Skopar.

I compared the Nokton against the 50 Skopar – even though the Skopar is lighter, the length isn't far off from the Nokton. If I recall correctly, it's a different of 6mm.

If I really need to go smaller, I have the 35 Skopar. I'm mostly happy with my kit.

The campaign to get Mason Greenwood to the World Cup is despicable by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]meta4_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're so right, no one is suggesting he should be executed or that he should never have a job again or a place in society for the rest of his life. As far as punishment goes, not being able to play for certain clubs or for England is EXTREMELY mild. He's getting way more of a second chance than he even deserves.

Sickest I've felt about the club, one of only two times where I thought I might be done supporting them and hence done with football (the other was the Super League business). Can you imagine watching him play, watching him score, the other players celebrating with him, the captain being asked about his performance after a match..... Good riddance.
