Photograph and Camera talk

[Graeme]

Out looking at cameras, and I found the Leica M-P Safari…

@Giles:

Fuck Yeah….Ricoh GR inbound....

Has the GR arrived, @Giles?

[Giles]

Yep

[dylantbmayes]

Thoughts?

Is this replacing the PowerShot? Or just another addition to the arsenal?

[Giles]

An addition….The macro capabilities of the Powershot far exceed those of the GR...I'll have the GR with me in Japan (as well as the G16 and the D750)....

[dylantbmayes]

Looks like I'll have a few new toys to play with!

[el padre]

Nice one G. Love my GR.

[dylantbmayes]

Not sure what lenses you plan on bringing to Japan @Giles but could you bring your 28mm?

I've ordered one but it won't arrive in-time!

[Giles]

Yes I can.

[dylantbmayes]

Thanks G!

I'll be bringing my 50mm and manual focus macro.

Happy Mother's Day, Nana!

[dylantbmayes]

I wasn't kidding when I said I wanted a D750, @Giles…

Picked one up on my last day in Tokyo. Secondhand AND Duty Free!

[Giles]

I heard that you had…....

Some random photos Leica M8 w/ Summarit 35

[Graeme]

There's an interesting interview about the Sony A7 R II at:

http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2015/06/16/sony-qa-the-must-have-sensor-tech-of-the-future

I'm interested in the camera from a video perspective, and the sensor sounds fantastic for that. They're sampling across fifteen photosites per pixel at 4K, which should give absolutely fantastic images.

I ended up selling my Sony A7ii. I wasn't using it since getting another Leica M8. The IQ on the Sony is actually too good. The photos almost look like the went through to much post processing.

My tripod and head has FINALLY arrived!

Vanguard Alta Pro 264AT

Vanguard Griphead GH-300T

[Giles]

Like those….

[dylantbmayes]

Figured you might

Price is far more reasonable than Manfrotto and the quality is comparable.

The tripods hex centre column is a really great feature!

[Giles]

Like to know what you think of the head after some use….
