    Hello. I would like to ask for your advice. Right now I'm interested in the Canon VI and P. I can't decide since they're both beautiful. Which one should I choose? And is there a 50 mm 1.4 chrome lens and is it expensive? Or is there any substitute?

    Hello. I would like some advice. I can't decide between VL and P which one should I choose. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each one? And the 50mm chrome lens, which one should I choose, 1.2 or 1.4?

    What a lovely question. Why do people still shoot rangefinders. I've shot a lot of digital recent years and having a display type viewfinder shows you all technical data, what the photo is like and whatnot. Yet I just love focusing with a viewfinder. Perhaps some day I can justify a digital one. So, old Leica gear or my trysty Bessa R2A it is. Film costs a lot nowadays but it makes me think more and reject the worst shots before pressing the shutter. More is not always better.

    This should be the pre-advert pep talk for those agents with hot water, selling miraculous courses. I love the "cover info" on those courses like 70hours of quality video, the overall value of $70000 now only for $399.... and there are countdown clocks with the time limit to purchase, which resets every time you refresh the page. Thumb up for the video :)

    The 35mm SLR goes back to the mid-1930s (Exakta), almost as far as the Leica and Contax. However, the modern styled 35mm SLR with interchangeable lenses didn't start getting popular until the latter 1950s. Some of the reasons for such delay may be those mentioned in the video, but the primary reason was a matter of lens design. Until the late 1950s, wide angle lenses used optical designs which required that they be set close to the film plane, and therefore, they would infer with the operation of the reflex mirror in a SLR. This was overcome when a completely new lens design (retrofocus) was developed to allow the rear element of a wide angle lens to sit sufficiently far from the film to allow a swinging mirror to operate. The earliest of such lenses were relatively poor optically, which is why Contax, Leica, Nikon and Canon all made only RF bodies until the late 1950s. The pioneers of SLR development were the lesser companies, such as the East German camera industry (several brands from one organization), then Pentax (Ashai) and Miranda in Japan.

    Hardly any professionals followed the Leica R line in photojournalism. They pulled out after the SL2. With a couple of MOT Leicaflexes and even a regular chrome SL, I find them to be highly robust. The motors can be a little problematic. The people buying up the R glass today are using mirror less digital bodies, like the Sony or the Leica SL or SL2S. With a simple adaptor you can run M series lenses or with an M to R adaptor, run any of the R lenses. One of the best by far is the APO Macro Elmarjt 100mm f2.8 lens which provides incredible macro capability. It’s on a par or better than the Nikkor 200mm macro ED AF lens. Leica was slow on the uptake in the SLR world and quickly eclipsed by Japanese manufacturers like Nikon and Canon. The Leicaflex SL2’s claim to fame was being dropped out of an F104 Star Fighter at about 20,000’ with its 50mm lens and being found reparable by Leica once they pulled it out of a snowbank. I don’t think they bothered to repair it because it still worked! But they liked the bragging rights. The Leicaflex bodies (pre-Minolta) were built to extremely exacting standards and ultimately cost Leica more to assemble than they got in the sale price. Leitz thought it would make up in body cost losses with lens sales. The R lenses do get somewhat complex with the various cams integrated over the intervening years. By the time the Leica R8 and R9 came out everyone was done with the SLR. My go to non auto focus camera is the digital Leica SL2S, although I still have at least 50 Nikkor lenses from 7.5mm to 1000mm. All can be mounted on the mirror less SL2S. The R lenses are still a bargain for digital shooters, compared to their prices when new. The most important thing to keep in mind are (1) ensure it is multi coated and (2) feature APO glass when the focal length is over 150mm. (APO glass is very similar to Nikon’s ED glass). This is a good start for folks interested in Leica, but keep in mind that these bodies are getting old. Keep your self on top of optics over bodies. Optics change very little while the older bodies simply cannot keep up today. Optically, the R lenses are the same as the M glass, but they are physically larger-that’s a plus for the M lenses-smaller physically.

    A piece of crap, the R4! I have never met anyone where it worked 100%. The lenses need different cams, very expensive! So Leica R lenses may not work..Minolta version way less expensive, work better.. Better than crap! Geez, tha's lousy. Mine work in non auto exposure. It's very wrong to push crap for newbies to film.. My Minolta lenses are awfully similar tp Leica-R ! same flares, same lovely images..

    [citation needed] How do you know it's safe to eject, and that iPadOS works the way you describe? A lot of people on YT have opinions. I don't think it's true that "When you press the button to safely eject hardware on a Windows PC [or on a Mac], the only thing that happens is the system runs a quick check to make sure the drive is not being utilized in any applications." Doesn't it also flush any caches to volumes on that drive where changes have been buffered? And some of those changes could be due to system processes, not just apps that the user is actively using. In order to guarantee that that's not the case, you'd need some documentation. A corrupted disk volume is not a good thing.

    show some respect to SL2 !!! you describe like SL2 was failure but it wasn't. SL2 is kinda upmost mechanical SLR in camera history. they cooperated with Minolta to know how to make some profit by make products in less perfect way than SL2, because they made some loss from the way they made SL2. -makeing perfect thing cost much.
