So true!Good attitude. And really money's not much good until the point you turn it into camera gear anyway.

Didn't notice the "no leather" bit, but his stuff is so good...
I do really like those! Will keep them in mind. Thanks much!Look at the Simplr F1 strap. Simple and lightweight. F1 Camera Strap • Made in USA • Simplr
If you want a rope strap you might consider a company called Tuenne. I have one of their straps with Peak Design connectors, and I like it quite a bit. It sounds like you could get along without the extra complexity and cost of the PD-compatible version. Downside is that it's still twice the cost of the one you found on Amazon, but they come in a greater variety of colors.Any of you all have a recommendation for a strap? I will be using it as a cross body as I don't like things hanging off my neck. I was liking the "rope" type...will probably leave the strap attached at all times, so quick release is not a requirement.
Saw something like this and I think the style is close.
I'm thinking in the summer here it gets very hot and humid, so I tend to stay away from leather. I need something that I can wipe clean and is resistant to sweat.
If not a rope type, then a wider strap, again something long enough for cross body. Thinking that 120cm should be long enough for that.
The Planar 50 is widely regarded as very close to the Summicron 50, so there's little point hankering after a Summicron if finances don't permit. I snagged my Summicron secondhand, which always helps.I probably would still be fumbling through lens choices had it not been for @MoonMind help. He really was able to narrow down the choices.
Honestly, the Zeiss 35mm Biogon was one of his recommendations, but I could not find a used, well priced 50mm specifically from the ones he recommended to me. I saw the Zeiss 50mm f/2 Planar and it is well regarded. I might add some Voigtlander glass in there somewhere sometime - perhaps their 28mm or something longer 75mm, perhaps.
I would honestly suggest Googling it as there are many ways to explain and I'm not sure how many of them are straightforward enough (not least this one) but I'll attempt an "idiot's guide" simple version. And please bear in mind I haven't had any coffee yet.What is hyperfocal focussing?
Lens | 35mm | 28mm |
Aperture | F8 | F11 |
Preset focal distance | 2M | 2M |
Area to appear in focus | 1.46M to 3.18M | 1.11M to 9.99M |
Lens | 21mm |
Aperture | F8 |
Preset focal distance | 5M |
Area to appear in focus | 1.41M to infinity |
They'll be better explanations . I honestly don't know about fish eye lenses. I had one once but wasn't fully au fait with hyperfocal focusing then and just focused through the VF.
As a general rule, slower cards are the order of the day. People always seem to have problems with operating digital Leicas with super big super fast cards, and this includes the newest nine grand M11. So I followed Brian’s advice and got a couple of 16GB compact flash cards and touch wood performance has been perfect.Did some reading and there is anecdotal murmurings that SD cards larger than 32GB can cause sluggish responsiveness in the M240. Anyone else heard of such? I have a 64GB card waiting, but if it may cause issues, I can swap that out with a 16GB from another camera. Just curious.
Thanks for that. It’s not like I need a ton of space anyway. I should be shooting less but more quality shots anyway! LolAs a general rule, slower cards are the order of the day.
