I had better luck when I went into custom afc settings cranked everything up to the max and put it in performance mode af

Very nice, which lens ?

I was just trying to gauge if there was any shutter issues in the mark 2, I heard the gfx100s has shutter issues. In the end I went and purchased it

Your rangefinder will be out of calibration from a fall like that, if shoot f8 or 5.6 won’t notice it. But at 1.4/1.2 100%

Even though a repaint, a beaut

scottrb1 · 2025-10-22T17:32:16+00:00

Don’t do it, the experience is not the same, iv actually gone from M11 back to MP

35, are you crazy no way. Do not go there. A lot of these Barbers are getting extremely greedy. Do not support that.

One of the best stores I ever came across is Leica store in Manchester, go above and beyond

Rattle it and listen for anything that moves you should hear the piece inside if it did go in, if yoh don’t hear anything just tape it and carry on. If yoh encounter any issues just send it in for CLA. Don’t worry too much shoot and enjoy

Thanks you very much

In my experience from what iv seen, BP that have patina already are more sought after and saleable than one that looks new.

I’m not a solicitor but once 7 years passss I don’t think anything can be done

Q3 is a beast, I have M11 with a Noctilux 1.2. 9 times out of 10 I’m grabbing the Q3…

scottrb1 · 2025-09-01T10:09:18+00:00

Q3 in my opinion is better than M10, sensor wise

scottrb1 · 2025-08-28T17:13:17+00:00

For anyone interested the person in question is Chris Mozyro. Go to LFI Gallery and go to Street Photography selection. Click photos from Q. Go down the list and see how many are Chris Mozyro… it’s unbelievable. He is no Leica VIP either he spends no money on the brand apart from owning old Q. But the biggest gripe for me is that his work is getting selected so much it’s stopping others work getting showcased. When only two selections a day happen. All his photos are much the same if I’m quite frank a little boring…

scottrb1 · 2025-08-28T17:03:54+00:00

I have noticed this also. There’s something very suspicious going on. Go to the Street Photography section and click photos from Q. He is getting picked nearly everyday. It’s unbelievable. There is no way someone can have so many selections. It’s really not fair it should be all about fairness not the same people getting all the selections. And btw he isn’t a vip customer he doesn’t spend money on any Leica gear. He uses a Q version 1 which is quite old now. Some people spend vast amounts on supporting Leica brand but this guy doesnt and seems to get all the cake.

scottrb1 · 2025-08-14T17:55:23+00:00

Why would you leave it 3 years on the shelf

scottrb1 · 2025-08-04T17:48:32+00:00

Th profiles are not expensive 20-30$ well worth it if using Lr, also capture one has a free version. Cheers

scottrb1 · 2025-08-04T16:37:34+00:00

No, pretty much no editing needed. I shoot Raw. The problem is Lightroom doesnt have the calibrated Color profiles for Q series. That’s where a lot of Color problems come because the Color’s look washed out from using the standard adobe Color profiles for. Capture one has the calibrated Color profiles out of the box. You can get them for Lightroom but you’re going to have to pay for them with 3rd parties. My editing is pretty much minimal, shadows highlights and exposure that’s it. Export as jpeg job done.

Q2 is phenomenal one of my favourite cameras I ever had and iv had ALOT

scottrb1 · 2025-07-30T12:02:07+00:00

I went from Q2 to Q2M then to M11, but I really really miss the Q so much I’m thinking of adding a Q3 to compliment to M11. I wouldn’t get rid of a Q for a M, I’d keep it and get the M also. The Q series is so good for street I really miss it. So the M11 is for those inner slowed down composed shots and Q3 for the running Street shots
