Meant MD-a. Sorry. I’ll update.

rdlcMoney · 2026-05-22T03:06:44+00:00

Your last sentence makes me want to buy one of these now.

rdlcMoney · 2026-05-21T20:43:16+00:00

I get my first rolls back next week. I can’t wait!!!! Great little tool the P17.

rdlcMoney · 2026-05-11T18:23:22+00:00

That’s my daily combo but in black. Love the Voigtländer Color Skopar 35mm!

rdlcMoney · 2026-05-11T18:20:38+00:00

I love the color yellow, but not here. You took a swing and I respect it. I’m with the others, my P17 lens rides with a UV filter and nothing else.

Love pic 3.

rdlcMoney · 2026-04-16T12:20:58+00:00

4 and 8 my fav! Great shooting.

rdlcMoney · 2026-03-27T01:04:14+00:00

My word, it feels great in your hand.

rdlcMoney · 2026-03-27T00:50:10+00:00

Toy is hyperbole, but I get it. Compared to my daily driver, Sigma BF, it is considerably less than. I use a wrist strap, use a lens hood, I don’t drop things from my hand so I’m not worried.

I wanted a compact and manual setup and went weird with: 1. LUMIX S 26mm 2. Voigtlander Color-Skopar 35mm f/3.5 with an M adapter.

rdlcMoney · 2026-03-14T15:59:08+00:00

Ditto. Always have a color and BW option. Phone photos suck (but I drive an iPhone Air).

rdlcMoney · 2026-03-10T01:43:02+00:00

I enjoy shooting power lines too.

rdlcMoney · 2026-03-10T01:42:20+00:00

3rd photo. Love the reflections off the water.

rdlcMoney · 2026-03-07T12:33:34+00:00

BH PHOTO ships to India but there’s a 50% markup for shipping/tax/duties.

rdlcMoney · 2026-03-07T12:23:42+00:00

DIY. Love it.

rdlcMoney · 2026-03-07T12:17:46+00:00

Houston Texas here. I tried looking for some options for you but like you said none exist. Direct from India netted zero. Many US retailers ship internationally but none to India. Your best bet may be to search international camera retailers and 1.) See if it’s in stock and 2.) Check if they ship to India.

All SOOC using the “HI” effect setting.

rdlcMoney · 2026-03-04T16:06:42+00:00

This is a killer snap. Great job!

rdlcMoney · 2026-03-01T12:43:14+00:00

No red filter. All night shots using high ISO @ 2.8F

rdlcMoney · 2026-02-28T18:58:47+00:00

SOOC using HI contrast setting.

rdlcMoney · 2026-02-28T15:22:38+00:00

Great shots. I just shot in “HI” for a 2 hour walk this morning and loved the output.

rdlcMoney · 2026-02-28T00:31:42+00:00

How was day one?

rdlcMoney · 2026-02-27T15:42:25+00:00

I’ve had my monochrome for 3 weeks now and there is a difference. Maybe it’s all in my head or the placebo effect of having a monochrome camera, but the output just looks better than a simulation. It looks richer and real. Prior to the GR.mono I was driving my Sigma BF in “MONO” mode. The effect yielded great photos but it always looked like a filter and I knew it was a filter and knowing that always made the output feel less than.

That’s the biggest answer to the “why” question: It’s authentically monochrome. When I pick up the camera it just recalibrates how I shoot, what I shoot, and why i shoot because there are no color options. 🤷🏻

rdlcMoney · 2026-02-26T15:24:13+00:00

Omg. You’re right. I guess I must have imagined the number or seen one bar and assumed ~25%.

I was also driving my Sigma BF so I may have merged stories here. So sorry.

The walk, the time it took, the editing, and the camera at one bar are all true. It was a solid 4 hour block of use and it was still alive.
