    GAS GAS: Please Share your Latest Acquisitions Big and Small

    Yes, it's a nice little flash. The Auto setting is indeed supposed to be the ancient type where a sensor on the flash reads the output and cuts off the current through the flash bulb once the exposure is correct. Too bad it doesn't work correctly. At shorter distances (somewhere below 2 m) it...

    GAS GAS: Please Share your Latest Acquisitions Big and Small

    A small Godox flash, the Retro Lux Junior. It features manual settings for output 1/1...1/64 and also an Auto setting. Can be synched to another flash on its first or second flash. A cord for sync, enabling off-camera use as well. I instantly would fire the moron who designed the Auto circuit...

    GAS GAS: Please Share your Latest Acquisitions Big and Small

    I still have the Contax 2.8/28mm and I use it when I want this focal length on my Sony FF cameras, as there are no native high-quality options IMHO, though I didn't try the Viltrox FE 1.8/28 yet. I've long given up hope that Zeiss would bring a Loxia 28mm :cry:.

    A Leica USB-C dual battery charger, shown here with the Anker power bank and its USB-C cable. Leica also offers a matching cable and a mains power supply as separate products, at Leica prices of course; fortunately I already have loads of compatible chargers and cables. This charger allows me to...

    So you seem to have sailed past some nasty cliffs so far. Must be good to be able to pick up slowly on a more normal daily life. All the best.

    Leica Leica SL3

    To my surprise the SL3 doesn't feature EFCS (Electronic First Curtain Shutter), that's just plain stupid in my opinion. Especially with telephoto lenses and a high resolution sensor there is a risk of motion blur due to shutter shock, I think a top-flight camera should either offer a global...

    The Random Image Thread

    Just a hint: the EXIF data show a 35mm focal length. Nice photo anyway ;).

    I had a stroke last night

    Aren't we all in some way or another... Fortunately, although my wife thinks that I'm a bit odd too, we still get on well with our extended family, which is just great. Reuniting with a family member is wonderful.

    Maybe. This snackbar seems to have a new owner some time ago. The slots were empty, but apparently well maintained and even small cashless terminals were added, so maybe he's just preparing for a relaunch. Yep, and significantly so. Much in line with other "horeca" (hotel-restaurant-café) prices.

    Going home, that's some progress. Hopefully you'll recover well without major setbacks. All the best.

    Fuji Fuji X100VI coming Feb 20th

    I didn't go in. From a previous visit I remember seeing a whole bunch of yummy Leica M/LTM lenses, Takumar M42 etc. etc. Indeed this store easily induces massive amounts of GAS.

    Well Martin, all the best with your health, hopefully you'll be able to enjoy the Q despite the treatments, which probably aren't fun at all.

    Impressive how y Impressive how you cope with all these attacks from nature. Hope your wife is equally able to keep her spirits up as much as possible. All the best and good luck.

    The oldest camera you actually have a reason for using?

    My oldest camera that I'm actually using on almost daily basis is the Sony A7. I bought it late 2013, I must have been one of the earliest group of buyers in The Netherlands. I use it for digitizing my color negatives. Its 24 MP are just right for that and the lack of IBIS, fast AF etc. etc. are...
