Wout de Zeeuw

Was my experience as well around 5 years ago, was wondering if they have improved in the mean time.

Tried one 5 years ago or so, drivers were crap. I didn't want to deal with that, so sold it again a year later.

Eindhoven Central Station! Nice shots :).

Totally guilty of this, but I'm adapting!

Photo stitching here I come!

Leica does this too, it really prevents a bunch of dust getting on your sensor. I wonder why not more manufacturers do this.

Wow, these shots looks so natural and effortless, and the bokeh is super smooth. I love photos 15, 16 and 19 (the foggy one especially).

I doubt Leica will maintain the phone apps 10 years from now though, so in 10 years all that functionality is gone.

Cheaper/fun alternative for the overpriced Leica bodies?

You don't need to use your phone, you can just take photos with it like you would with a film camera. Plus Leica lenses are a little bit better than your phone camera lens.

Thank you for these useful suggestions! I like the idea of a leveling plate like the Slik leveling head you got, but a lot of them seem to be not very durable or suddenly not go very smooth ...

Thank you Ellis, that's pretty much what I was looking for for the past few days! I just saw it a moment too late, just got the benro aero 2 + some cheapo receiver that I'll mount on top. I'll ...

Thanks guys for the suggestions and information. I'm still wrapping my head around all the different options. I'll probably get the benro S2 for short term, while I slowly piece together what I ...

It's because I suck at getting the composition right in one go. So I typically take a shot, and then perhaps want to adjust the framing a few times, without having to redo the levelling. So I'd ...

I've got my eye on a Benro Aero S2 or S4, I quite like the integrated leveling ball on it, which I think would make life easier getting the camera level for landscape photography. But the QR plate ...

Excellent images, very sharp, and creamy bokeh.

Often insurances come with requirements on the quality of the locks etc. They might have not met all of those requirements.

Leica M240's are still priced at 3k plus at the second hand market, that's the reference price.

Get server grade disks, they should last a lot longer. I've been using a pair in my NAS for 7-8 years now, and still running fine.

Gotto agree there. The M8 and M9 CCD sensor had really rich colors, although not 100% accurate; to me they look wonderful. I can't justify spending 5k on a body that doesn't do significantly better...
