  1. All airports require liquids in a 1 litre bag to be taken out. Different airports, different rules. Some airports, all electronics stays in bag. Other airports, laptops and battery packs come out and cameras stay in, whilst others, everything metal or electronic comes out. Read the signs and ask.
  2. The 50 Summilux is big and heavy, try the 50 Apo Summicron instead. My preferred lens is the Sigma 65mm with the 45mm sitting on the other side of 50mm.
  3. Pure BS. Best to avoid his reviews, unless of course it was posted 2 days ago.
  4. Unfortunately, I will be returning from Venice on 19th so leaving again immediately will not be tolerated
  5. I challenge myself to make a photo that represents the place I am in. I have been fairly frequently and have enjoyed each and everyone. Meeting people is the best part.
  6. Thanks to Frame-It:- https://blog.kasson.com/the-last-word/manually-focusing-the-fujifilm-gfx-50s/ this is a pretty good explanation and tutorial. My expectations will not be met by focus peaking alone, I will need the magnified view.
  7. Thanks Philipp, that is what I thought; LOW = lower sensitivity (less likely to shimmer until focus is reached). I shall play over the weekend with it.
  8. Thanks all for the tips. The problem with focus peaking is it peaks at a certain place in the photo and stays lit up as you focus by more than ten degrees, even at f1.2 (yesterday lens), which is clearly not focused anymore. I have one profile setup with autozoom, but as turning the ring requires a large movement before autozoom kicks in, I have the top plate button set for this which is faster. I wanted a view of the full screen without autozoom and focus peaking on (red colour with jpeg set to B&W) and to know which is the more accurate indicator of plane of focus setting; High or Low sensitivity. Both seem to have a similar latitude to the plane of focus. There is nothing in the manuals of the M11, M10 or SL about the difference between the two. I want to rely on this when trying street photography as it is faster than zooming in. I was hoping this would be as fast but more accurate than optical rangefinder focusing. My eyes are not as good as they once were. I will just stick to using the rangefinder for this style of photography. I guess the distance and under estimate the distance. My instinct is to turn the lens clockwise which brings the subject into focus. Slightly reversed when using a Nikon RF where the lenses focus the other way round, so I overestimate the distance.
  9. Hi, This has bothered me for many years and that is what does the "sensitvity" mean when selecting focus peaking? It is not just a question for M users but also SL. My confusion is which has the narrower of tolerances for what is and is not in focus; "Low" or "High" sensitvity? I like to setup for B&W with red peaking. Even with an f1 lens, the peaking occurs over a range of focus. I know on the M11P, if I turn on magnification and peaking, it is most accurate, but generally for street shooting, I do not have time to magnify so I just want it to show peaking when i am focused on my subject.
  10. I give you 12 hours outside to look forward to wearing a coat 😂
  11. How about a break in tradition and you join and we buy you the wine I understand family always wins, but it would be nice to finally meet you.
  12. I am just back from KL. @sunung1188 does not seem to have revisited this page. @Sparkassenkunde the weather was hot and sticky during the day so unless you enjoy the heat, go in the morning and late afternoon. The area around the PM residence is one I visited for the first time and has lots going on. There is of course an "India town" where you should try the roti chennai with fried eggs for a breakfast with chai. Downtown near twin towers has lots of people and the Leica shop is nearby. Otherwise, most of KL life is in the malls. Port Dixon is good.
  13. IMO silver, but what do you think?
  14. I will return to reading feedback after more people have used the camera for a longer period and there is more fact and less opinion.
  15. I think someone will be in trouble. Release date is tomorrow
