I am b#tching about b#tching indeed, but it's just because I can't stay away from typing, believe me it's not fun.

I mean, c'mon people. There's b#tching that you actually grab your popcorn, and...

This is why I'll love the day I can finally delete my account and forget this site exists (no, for some bizarre reason, I'm not there yet, I keep coming back).

Reading the comment sections, it's a...

Please don't take my post as some kind of envy or negative social commentary. I'm just offering a different POV from someone living in the Third World. First, I need to point it out that I'm not ...

@FodgeandDurn, no disrespect intended but please, it's not hard to connect the dots when things are obvious.

First, we're not in 1960 anymore. An argument 6 decades old holds zero credibility....

@Paul Jones, just want to add a note about sensual photography.

If I'm taking nude pictures, so what I'm a man? Can't it occur to women I'm a professional photographer, therefore I'm a billion...

In my years as a pro, I had a huge, massive, round zero advantage for being a man.

In fact, I was excluded of some specific segments I couldn't apply to, for example sensual photography (female...

Hi, Just a quick update. Here are 3 images from the shooting I mentioned in my OP. Nothing too fancy, just a low profile shoot for my portfolio. Now, would any camera be able to do that? No doubt, ...

I don't care if you're a smartphone fan, that rig mounted on a tripod is a world record of sadness, goofyness and just plain st#pid.

Many things on this planet try very hard to be st#pid wheter...

Hi Choi It's great to be part of the Leica forum. Hope I can post some images as soon as possible! Regarding the M9 corrosion problem, how serious it really is? Is it something that only appears at ...

Hi Cadder Not sure how long your M8 has been unused, but definitely give it a chance! One thing I forgot to mention in my OP: A lot of people think this is B$, but in equal measure, there's a group ...

Hi phototeacher Yes, it was a journey to get all things in place. :D Brazil being a Third World country with corrupt taxes and so on, things here are insanely pricey (even more than the usual for ...

Hi, I was considering starting this thread for a few days, since the M8 is so old almost no one cares, and my files remain untouched at the moment, so I have nothing to show for now. Well, here it ...

This is it.

Z6 + Atomos V is officially Hollywood level IQ at yours hands.

Absolutely mind blowing to think you can have Hollywood's IQ for less than 3 thousand dollars.

Mind blowing is a...

As a retired pro myself, for quite some time I've had the enthusiasm (and free time) to lenghtly discuss about DMF in many, many threads (including in the MF forum here), as well as...

Regarding the OP comments, I guess I can chime in.

I used to shoot fashion professionaly with a lower end Phase One, and did use quite nice, higher end models from that era too (circa...

The sole reason mirrorless is on the rise is because amateurs are embracing mirrorless as the hot new thing.

C, N, S pay too much attention to what forums have to say, as this is where they get...

@jhmaw, you really have a doubt? You can bet camera makers pay tons of attention to forums. I'd go as far as saying they have large teams reading full time DP Review 24-7.

This is where they get...

@jhmaw, I'll give you that one. Architecture, thanks to the articulated LCD, is greatly benefited from mirrorless.

Being able to tilt the LCD is fantastic for landscapes and architecture, so I...

Exposure preview in the VF:

Mirrorless fans defend previewing exposure in real time.

Fine for ambient light shooting.

But from fashion, to studio, to products, to weddings, chances are that...

Big and heavy will always allow more room for no compromise designs.

You can't beat.

During Summers, I typically shoot on beaches under 38+ Celsius, that's quite common working day for me....
