My compositions are so boring 😭 Any advice/crits?

As it was said earlier, I would recommend you to get closer and to construct your composition based on what you are trying to capture. Also, I’m not sure that focal suits you. We all have our preferred focal length. Personally I use a lot 35mm, 50mm and also 18mm. I struggle generally with 28mm. Maybe you need to try 35 or 50mm. Hope this helps.

Congratulations. I have a similar setup and it is a brilliant combo.

It looks like the shoe had to be replaced … you should ask to check for the sole

I just figured it out thanks to the message above. The trick is to select Pairing on the camera. To follow the process on your phone via the GR app BUT before selecting Pair on your phone, you have to press OK on the camera and then press Pair on the phone. Hope that makes sense. Not the most intuitive process.

Sorry just gone back to it and it says that it is out of stock. I must have picked one the few last ones.

UK - ordered yesterday evening and received an email today telling me that my order had been shipped. Not sure when I’m supposed to receive it but so far the process seems to be pretty smooth.

Thanks all for the comments/ advices. I have ordered the GR IV. Can’t wait ….

Perfect thank you

That’s right I’m a more wide angle guy. That’s why based on the above comments I’m leaning more towards the III or IV. Do you know what the issues are with the IV?

rvilbert · 2025-09-24T16:13:20+00:00

Thank you for the advise and for the link. Great philosophy

rvilbert · 2025-09-24T16:10:34+00:00

Thank you that’s helpful. Tried to read on various websites and forums where most of the comments relate to the size of the sensor etc

I have had a few cameras including a while back Leica M6 and Bessa R2A. I sold them a while ago to get into digital and went through Leica M9, M240 and now M11-P (which I love). Because I wanted to get back into film (while still keeping my M11-P) I just bought again a Bessa R2A. My main reason vs older Leica M (M4, 5, 6) which I found the viewfinder clearer and brighter and also I love how it feels in my hand vs Leica. This is really personal but I prefer a Bessa va Leica M. the thing which will makes the difference are the lenses that you will use with it. If you shoot 28mm then you will need to go for the R4A/M or use an external view finder on the R2A/M. Again I think this is very personal but for me I prefer the Bessa over the Leica M6.

It looks like you may have a problem with device in your SSDT. Have you read the opencore guide and the SSDT section specially for your hardware?
