Pardon my attempting to speak for @newtoleica but what I think he means is How can anyone decide if they like a camera in a few days? (and I can agree with that). For me if you are not 100% sure then you (the buyer) are anxious because you *can* return it for no loss or hassle of selling - you just have to decide very quickly. And that's not always the 'right' decision. I owned an M-D (when they were going for $3k) for about 7 days and then returned it because I realized it was still a digital camera. Definitely a rash decision.

Let's wait for Alan... 😉 anyway, Lager displays #173 converted to III.. with an Anastigmat : clearly, the original lens tube mounted onto a regular 7 o'clock coupled mount ... fine work 🙂

That's what I'm looking for in my 246, but I'm not getting it. I refuse to sharpen my images, in-camera or in LR/PS, especially to compensate for an underperforming camera. Can this issue be fixed?

Not from me my 246 images are very sharp, check the below posts starting at #20675

Yes, it is a little slow in that respect. Most of my kind of motifs wait politely however . 🙂 Maybe it is possible to have the camera in all-time-alert-setting. I don't remember. So damned bad at remembering even the relatively sparse setting-options on this one. 😆

No I wanted to check with the forum first. Perhaps a call would admit a slight fault on their part however I'm sure BGN allows for some variation in 'quality'. It's certainly a working lens.

Apo-Macro-R-100:

Understood. To be clear I should have said 'it does unscrew and is meant to', as opposed to 'no that should not happen'. I'm clear now thank you.

Have you had a conversation with the vendor?

The level of the SL2 images is by far much better (with some exceptions) than the ones seen in SL3 posts. IMHO. FMB

I just got the Voigtlander 28mm f1.5 Nokton myself and trying that out.

I can confirm that I succesfully downgraded my MacOS to 14.3.1 (current version of MacOS is 14.4.1) and that fixes my C1P version (v16.2.6), at least for what I have used most, not sure if there are some issues hiding in modules that I did not use yet. I hope not, and I intend to stick with this Mac OS for as long as I can. You can buy current hardware and then downgrade to Sonoma 14.3.1 or earlier before migrating all your stuff. But as said that is not a straightforward process. So if your really want to upgrade, you could buy a Mac mini, but since it is a Apple Silicon, YMMV with v16.2.6. Also, this option will not be available for long because soon (probably June 2024 WWDC) all new Mac hardware will ship with MacOS 15 and will not run any Sonoma (Mac OS 14) version. Actually, if you want to upgrade for speed, my advice would be to buy one of the last Intel based Macs on the second hand market and run Mac OS Ventura (OS 13 any version) or Sonoma (lower than 14.3.1) on that.
