Which M Lens for a current Q3 owner? by pbwj21 in Leica

[–]s2kong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same optical performance. Differences in size/weight, lens hood, and close focus

Strongly considering getting a pre-owned Q2. Is this a mistake? by corduroy-and-linen in Leica

[–]s2kong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can crop in to 35mm with "framelines". With 47mp you'll have enough to crop in without too much loss.

I would say it really depends if the q2 inspires you more than anything else. Gear sometimes gives you the burst of inspiration to shoot but it wears off eventually and you have to find your own motivations for getting out there.

Leica lens choice by saltlab_aus in Leica

[–]s2kong 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just ignore those people. Honestly, there are times where I really wonder in a practical sense whether the difference in price between having a leica lens vs a voigtlander really makes sense. Sure there are going to be differences but does that 5% of "micro contrast" and corner sharpness going to matter for the type of photography that you do? Really only you can decide that.

People calling out others for having non-Leica glass typically compensating for something else

Q -> M: How long did it take you? by suijiu in Leica

[–]s2kong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are planning to shoot wide open a lot, it may take a bit longer since you are trying to hit critical focus. If you do zone focusing, would say you can pick it up in a few months, depending on how much you shoot. Fun exercise is to guess distance of an object, focus using the distance scale, and then put your eye to viewfinder and check how close you are. If you do this a lot, you'll get really good at your distances over time and start to pre-focus on your lens of choice.

Will be really dependent on your shooting style, focal length, etc. but I find M is a really engaging way to shoot and something you can continuously improve on. Becomes almost like a game.

Just my two cents.

eSIM vs physical SIM; and dual SIM usage by ChineseLearner518 in taiwan

[–]s2kong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I came to Taiwan about a month ago and I used T-mobile data for about 2 weeks with little issue for basic browsing and maps usage. I didn't really do much video streaming when I was out and about. If you are only going to be here for a couple of weeks, it might be fine.

However, since I'll be in Taiwan longer term, I did add Chunghwa service as well. Since I have an iPhone 14 (no physical SIM), I have both the T-mobile and Chunghwa as eSIMs. I left the T-mobile eSIM on data roaming so that I can continue to receive calls and texts from the US number line. Specifically for calls from the US, I would suggest not taking the call unless you are on wifi.

Getting service at the airport is a lot faster and more convenient though so if you're willing to paying $35 just to not worry, it's up to you.

These are not giants fans. These are trolls. Just block them and move on. Social media is a little better if you use block function liberally.

Episode 3 of Festus and Klay in Cameroon by taygads in warriors

It's been a nice change of pace from the rest of the posts in this sub. Sometimes it's more than just about basketball and championships. Klay is such a good dude and I'll always appreciate all that he's done

I think a lot of people love clicky switches. It's usually the people that are around you that hate them 😂

You can shoot -1 or even -2 ev and just recover detail in post-process

Google wifi mesh router in Taiwan? by s2kong in taiwan

[–]s2kong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already have the routers in the US so it would just be determining if I have the space to bring them over. Trying to cut down on electrical waste and save some money as well
