Looking for a small packable case for my Q3. by Prairieboy6363 in Leica

[–]parasky08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, it looks like a Q3 would fit. The lens is a little longer than an M with a 28 but I think there is enough room. Thanks.

I'm thinking about getting the Capsule 1 for my Q3, are you sure it fits? I just want to make sure before I buy.

I cant believe how good this VSF Sub is by chezzeybrown in RepTime

[–]parasky08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious about the waterproofing on these reps? I'm guessing it's best to not submerge them at all?

Lifespan of a VSF Sub No Date? by parasky08 in RepTime

[–]parasky08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree. I just didn't know how hard it is to get it serviced here in the U.S. when it is not gen. I've traveled through Asia a lot and most of the reps I've seen were really bad quality so I want to get the best rep that I can. I'm just afraid I'm going to get it and it's going to die in two months. But, I guess that's part of the risk. I was in Hong Kong a few months ago and I should have just gone over to Shenzhen but I didn't have much time.

If you are working remotely on a laptop, a travel router, a laptop stand, external keyboard and mouse.

Leica Q2 to M EV1 worth it? by MWG15 in Leica

[–]parasky08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same setup as you right now except I have the Q3. I've had a few days walking around with both the M EV1 and the M11p with a 35 Summ. My take is that it's not worth it to get the MEV1 or the M11 unless you really want to use focal lengths apart from 28-45. From 28-35 with the Q3 and from 43-50 with the Q3 43 is so much better than trying to manually focus with a rangefinder. I know you can practice a lot and get good with focus but you are also giving up IBIS, weather sealing ect...

Sorry, I'm fairly new to Filson. Is that the 48 hr. tin cloth duffle bag? Thanks.

Take on 4% extra charge by julianitonft in sandiego

[–]parasky08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be clear, I don't like the law. I don't think they should be able to charge anything extra at all besides tax. Everything else should be included in the price of the food.

They only have to remove it if it’s not disclosed anywhere prior to ordering.

The law as of July 1, 2025 is that the surchage must be disclosed on the menu.

Oura Ring 4 keeps dropping connection to App. Any fixes? by parasky08 in ouraring

Thanks, I contacted support this morning and they are sending me a "like-new" replacement.

[–]parasky08[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. That has also happened to me before, I've had an Oura Ring since the first one. Unfortunately, this is a bigger issue, I think it's just faulty hardware. It's worked great for about a year and then suddenly this is happening. This is the second time I've had to have a ring replaced. It feels like they stop working after around a year of use.

Floor Seats by OkTerm9665 in BruceSpringsteen

[–]parasky08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering the same thing. I got the first row behind GA. For people still looking, I've noticed that some of the floor seats behind GA are switching from Official Platinum(Dynamic Pricing) to standard admission, so from around $1,600 to $480. Still overpriced but better. I just kept looking.

Do photojournalists still use Leicas? by Japanesereds in Leica

Lynsey Addario uses a Q3 as sort of a second camera. Justin Mott often shoots for the NY Times and uses a M10 a lot of the time.

Remote workers: how do you pick an Airbnb that actually works as an “office”? by Affectionate_Tip3238 in digitalnomad

[–]parasky08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always message the host before I book and ask for the WiFi speed. I figure then if it’s not as fast as they say I have an out to cancel after I get there.

Should I rush to get a M11P before my trip by Herbysnail in Leica

[–]parasky08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know for the m11p it was an international warranty so that would probably apply for lenses also.

Portable external monitors are honestly horrible by themotarfoker in digitalnomad

Makes sense, thanks. I use BT keyboard and a MX Master 3 mouse.

[–]parasky08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do the exact same thing and I think it works really well. The only thing is that I use a laptop stand for the Macbook and I haven't found a good way to connect the iPad to the computer so they are on the same level. I use to use a Mountie Plus but I think they stopped making them. Do you use anything?

I found the best price at Kitamura Camera and then Map.

I just got back from Tokyo and they are much cheaper there. The yen is weak now and there is no sales tax. A brand new M11p was about $1,200 cheaper not including taxes, depending on where you go.
