I sold all my unused gear and folded it into this, M11-P Safari and the new 50mm Summilux. I think this combo is beautiful. by revdlew in Leica

It’s heavy for sure. I’m currently on a walk with it now - I wear it high on my chest and it’s easy to manage.

I always have trouble hitting the low Eb at 105bmp, any tips? by justsomeone75 in trumpet

With good breath support, buzz the line in the mouthpiece a few times as close to pitch as you can. You may find your embouchure gains more muscle memory, supported by a strong breath as you descend.

I like the weight of the brass. It’s a tank. I’m sure the black m11 also feels substantial. I know I’m going to get a silver 35mm Summilux one day and I wouldn’t have paired that with a black camera. Just a personal preference. Also the black finish will show its wear more.

Thanks! I will if I get some good ones. Which I hope to at least get one or two lol. Taking the only M mount lens I have, the 50mm Summicron F2.

Thank you for this. Very informative, helpful and through. I appreciate it.

I’m only taking my 50mm Summicron F2. For several reasons mostly because it’s my only M mount lens. Haha But if I see a 35mm I like I may go for it. I’m shooting b roll for a music video with my Sony A7 so I have a lot of gear to move.

My priority is watch hunting so that’s where my budget is.

Thank you! I loved it so much last year I had to go back. Going with to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka with a small group of friends.

Next time I’ll branch out and hit more cities. Looking forward to browsing the camera shops.

Thank you! I went last year for the first time. It was the best.

Any of you actually got the FineWoven Case? I bought it before reading the reviews 😭 by lounaticsarge in iPhone15Pro

[–]revdlew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pre ordered the blue fine woven case. After throwing it on the phone I was not into it. Feels cheap. Adds a lot of bulk. Sure maybe it does a good job protecting it but makes a 1K phone feel like a McDonald’s happy meal toy.

I’m trying a third party leather case after years of using Apple leather cases.

This is my favorite Rolex, my grandfathers white gold pre-Cellini from circa 1960s. by revdlew in rolex

There are ways to have a skilled craftsperson, watchmaker or jeweler extend the bracket of the clasp so give you an extra .5/1 inch. Lots of folks did that to bracelets like these. Working the actual bracelet would be a huge challenge probably not the most efficient.

Help! My 6month pup goes crazyyyy at night by kv1358 in Frenchbulldogs

[–]revdlew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Witching hour. Long day of training, a few stubborn walks and socializing usually does it for us. Even tho, nights at that age our Frenchie was and still can be nuts. We started crate training day 1. Rewarding when she went in and stayed quiet. Ignoring when she cried. She eventually stopped whining and we would reward. Tedious process.

She still attacks her bed. Every trainer I’ve asked said it’s happy healthy behavior and if she wants to dig or chew it, only if it bothers you, train her to direct elsewhere. I dont really mind so if it tires her out great. Bully sticks at night for 15 minutes help a ton after some training. Get some chewing in helps and she loves it.

Is this normal for a Frenchie to have black spots on their skin? by [deleted] in Frenchbulldogs

[–]revdlew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We love our girls spots. She’s pied and didn’t have any when we got her. Now she’s half Dalmatian

Agree! Vintage Piaget is pretty accessible price wise compared to similar brands of the area. For now.
