That looks amazing!

I have a pearl, a Luna, and the Pyxis. I would buy a timemore black mirror, honestly. The Acaia scales are great, and are nicer than the Timemore scales (I have the full size and the nano: I have a lot of scales), but it’s not $100 better. Attached is a picture of the Pearl, Black Mirror, and Luna, for scale (no pun intended).

That’s really interesting! As an aside, I have a new Flickr, if anybody is interested. I don’t post a lot, just the ones I find most interesting. Shot with the D610 with f/2.8 28mm today. I have a 20-35 f/2.8 coming, which I think will be a good lens. Miss the Q, though. It arrives at Leica Monday. -

I checked prices, and I need to be more judicious with my film shots: it’s more than a dollar every time I hit the shutter. I had mentally been thinking more like 50 cents, as I didn’t realize development and scanning was $20+, no prints. I remember doing one hour development (I worked as a photo developer in high school and college) with 4” prints for $6, but of course that was in 1999! -

Off the D610 with a 28 f/2.8. Street shot. Slightly modified in light room. I like these shots. You gotta get closer with a 28. -

Thanks! I’ll contact and see if it’s cheaper than Leica themselves. It’s not under warranty anymore, of course, so as long as it’s competently serviced I’m happy with whomever does the work. -

Looks like I’m looking at $200, from what I’ve seen. Seller gave me a discount due to the issue which should cover it. I just hope it doesn’t take months! -

Haha, I used to go to Cord: good shop! Anybody have experience with Leica service? Bad dust blobs at f/5.6-8 on the Q (didn’t notice it until yesterday, I’ve only shot wide open or stopped pretty far down). I think it can be serviced in NJ, and doesn’t have to go to Germany, but I have no idea of what time frame to expect. The service agreement says no more than 6 weeks after estimate is made, but I’d love to have an idea of how long it will take for them to get to the estimate. Good thing I bought that D610, but I’m going to really miss the Q while it’s gone. -

It’s not brassing when it is scuffed plastic! I own an old FM2; I’m familiar with brassing. Thank you Ric, I’ll check them out! We used to have a local lab, that did the work for the college of art, but they went under in 2021. -
James Hoffman says the Niche Duo tastes the same as the Niche Zero, which is good enough for me to not “upgrade.” I’m sure the SSP burrs are better, but that’s an additional expense, of course.

That’s a great shot, Dan! I have three rolls of HP5 through the N8008. It’s a lot of fun to shoot with (I’ve been shooting with a 28mm f/2.8). I’ll get development done after a couple more rolls (does anybody have a suggestion for a good lab?). My only complaint with it is that the plastic cladding scuffs easily. It came to me in basically LNIB condition, and it’s not pristine anymore just from rubbing against the hardware on the strap while in my bag. Great camera. -

Snappiness always has good content. I was interested in the Pixii, but just decided the Q was a better fit for me, since my existing lens collection is all F-mount, and I didn’t particularly want to buy Leica lenses, given prices and overlap (since I bought a Nikon DSLR again, as well), and 28mm is my favorite focal length. Disappointing that it was misaligned. I also find it a little gross that they don’t just sell the base model with the larger storage installed, if they are going to insist on having built in storage. I mean, an ultra fast 1tb SD card is like $70. -

The Leica makes a sound that sends my cats running as soon as I turn it on. Weird.
