    That didn’t last long for Pentax. They didn’t produce many of them, so there was a backlog of people waiting to get them. Now that enough have been distributed in just a few weeks - there is now a surplus of them. Turns out that they are not selling well at all. Wonder if Pentax will reduce the price to four hundred?

    I can't help but notice there's no setting that corresponds to the zone between 54cms and 1m. Like what setting to have it on when the subject isn't a meter away but also isn't 50cms? Prefect example is someone sitting across the table at a restaurant. It's called the 'extremely close distance' setting, but 1m is not extremely close.

    I have a mint G1 and G2 with the OEM flash, 35 mm, 45 mm and the 90 mm but I also picked up an Elan for like $10. I use this often when not shooting with either Contax (with either the EF 40 mm 2.8 or 50 mm 1.8). It's quite plasticky but I'm amazed at the photos this thing takes. Not as fun as my Contax G models but it's a reliable film alternative that takes great pics.

    Killer video! Had no idea about this event. Such a cool thing they are still doing it. Crazy and all but still it’s nice they kept it. The light looked so nice as well, very warm, bouncing around the dirt and the buildings, alternating between the shadowy parts. On a side note PETA and the rest should probably focus on say, the chickens first, before attacking a bunch of Italians keeping tradition or a tiny % of population eating foie gras.

    Used your recommended settings for street work with the Q3 and I am super impressed and grateful for the results. I used a Q exclusively for nearly 4 years of shooting (have been a photographer for over 55 years) and it was my fist Leica. Lot's of impressive performance but terrible autofocus particularly when so much better tech was available for rent even from Leica's digital partner, Panasonic. The Q3 is miles better than the Q in may ways. Had high expectations for autofocus improvements but with the settings I was using before your suggestions I was seeing at best a 20% improvement. I do a lot of shooting from the hip. The settings you recommended are stellar. Thank you so much.

  • @quantum_ocean
    @quantum_ocean 3 місяці тому

    I don't know why so many people call this the perfect street camera. I miss shots all the time because of slow response after auto power off. If I disable auto power off then the battery life is total shit. Never miss a shot with Contax T2/G2

    • @luciengraetz
      @luciengraetz 3 місяці тому

      Yeah fair, but I don’t seem to have this problem. I do have a spare battery tho. I keep the camera on then just press the shutter as soon as I see an image occurring to make sure the camera’s on. I find two batteries will last me a whole day of pretty rigorous shooting, and coming from shooting film just carrying one little extra battery doesn’t bother me either. I also shot a G2 for about a decade, love that camera but it’s nowhere near as fast as a Q3. Completely different ball park

      Nope! And who said I never look people in the eyes? I engage when I want/need to. 99% of people would prefer you’re invisible anyway, and it gets better results, the aim is to capture candid moments without bruising the scene. When I do a street portraiture I’ll talk to the person. Street is completely different tho. Study Vivian Maier or any historically significant street photographer. Enjoy your day.

    Turn off EVF and LCD, set focus to manual and set the lens to 10ft. Set aperture to f8. Shoot everything that comes to within 8ft of you and it will be in focus. If you know the lens' field of view well, you will know roughly what is in the frame.
