I guess all photographers are white? Even though I’m white, I found these images somewhat cringe-worthy.
The Hasselblad X system is second to none for rendering and haptics. I owned the X1D and a number of…
Reality bites hard doesn’t it. I’d love to have a digital Hasselblad but know I’d get fed up with the…
Great for studio work but I agree with Erwin about being out and about. Sold my X1D some time ago
To paraphrase: once warned, twice shy, and I shall take your warning seriously. Though the absolutely luscious photos you took…

Hi David, At no point did I see any Turkish men in the Bazaar shops making feature length films on…
You mentioned a Bolex. Are you absolutely certain there was not a Bolex lurking in that cabinet?
Nothing beats the campers. I own a converted T6 and spend most weekends sitting on the coast somewhere, yesterday was…
Late to the party Mike but the original Leica MD had no rangefinder, it was released in 1964
This article was posted three years ago. Since then there have been persistent rumours of a M-Mount camera with EVF,…
Dale, I couldn’t agree more. One of those unforgettable places in the world that has a special way of subliminally…
One of the great experiences of my life and very glad it was with you my friend. As always wonderful…
I never encountered a M photog that had “problems focusing”. If you do, don’t use rangefinders. (Many range shooters actually…
Hi Scott, I am so glad to hear that. You will not regret any time you can lend to a…
Hi Mark, Brilliant article and beautiful photos! Istanbul is definitely on our short list for a photo vacation! Cheers, Scott

À great read and set of images
Thank You for the memories of Istanbul! We visited several years ago, before the Syria debacle, and were impressed by…
Wonderful read and photos!
Definitely the right choice… horses for courses. And Tesla would charge the earth for fencing wire and shoelaces.
Hello Dirk, Thank you for the advice. I rarely use LR for stitching but I am Photoshop illiterate so LR…
Hello David, Thanks for reaching out. Great question. I can only tell you what I did. After letting my M10-R…
It intrigues me that with cars you love all the sophisticated technology. But with cameras you like one so simple…
Thanks, Jonathan for these facts.
Hi Brian I did some research about fires in electric cars – quite a lot actually – just one statistic,…
Many thanks, Bud. The big difference between Macfilos and many other sites is that we are all volunteers and have…
Mike, thank you for replying to my comment and all these comments so thoughtfully. Most sites don’t enjoy this level…
Thanks Tom. It felt like four miles at my age. I shall amend it forthwith.
Bear in mind that the lithium ion battery chemistry is used in all manner of devices, not just cars. This…
I sympathise Mike that you lost 55% of the car value in the first four miles although I suspect you…
Ah, a tractor! I could go demonstrating on Hammersmith Broadway at the rush hour!
I have friends with an ID3, and they are delighted with it. The larger ID7 has an excellent reputation. I…
You are absolutely right, Rene, and I know that my heavily depreciated but as-new Model 3 is good for many…
Hi Bud, Yes, you can be excused your surprise. I’ve been running Macfilos for 17 years and, in the early…
John, Thanks for adding to the story. I agree with your assessment of EVs in general and, as you know,…

What a funny thing to find where I go looking for Leica stuff! Happen to be in the process of…
I will agree to disagree on the environment. One needs to look beyond raw car efficiency. As an example, the…
Are you able to actually garage all these vehicles? I suppose the need depends of what kinds of weather you…
Hi Mark: Wonderful pictures and great writing. I have both the Q3 and the Q3 43 and recently bought an…

For what its worth I have had a VW 1d3 Electric car for three years and I would definitely not…
We also have a VW Ocean and a 1954 Fergie tractor Mike!
Sounds like a motor park. You could start a vlog, Jono. Good job you don’t live in London!
HI Brian I hear where you are coming from – and Tesla are working towards Cobalt free batteries (even iPhone…
Hi Kathy We still have our Saab 900 16T cabriolet from 1994 – which we have vowed to keep forever,…
Thanks Brian. I hadn’t thought of that battery aspect but it’s a valid point. Hey, and you haven’t been redacted!
I will never buy an electric car because of all of the issues such as children mining cobalt with no…
Interesting, Kathy. We have a second car in the household. Until recently it was a Mercedes A Class, purchased in…
By way of comparison, I’m still driving my 2005 Lexus ES model. Though, this year I had my first major…

Thanks Mike, thanks kindly!
Wow, what a stunning light and these images, simply wonderful. The camera combo is beyond any doubts for sure. Late…
I wonder how much the licensing and endorsement costs? How many units did they order?
Too expensive for a branded copy of another product.
Macfilos asks: “What do you think of the Leica Sofort Burton? Will you be strapping it round your neck in…
I’d love one of the bears, but the release seems like it was a bit of a mess. I never…
So do I, Andrew. By the time you’ve bought a Leica LUX grip for your iPhone, you might just as…
Well, Brian, I have been boring readers about Ricoh GR for years, ever since the GRI. And Jean Perenet has…
Hahaha. Must resist! I definitely prefer it to a camera phone.
I hate it when a brilliant article is written about this camera – it starts my temptation process. Hence, I…
Kathy Thank you for your complimentary comments. For others reading this, my headdress refers to my Oman article of January…
Dunk Thank you for your kind comments. I was pleased to bring back maritime memories for you from the 1960’s.…

I’ve seen some of those adaptors, but also heard that dust can get in via the lens segments. I’d rather…
You’ve got to be very careful around there if you aren’t carrying a Leica 🙂

You’re obviously English. There’s your problem. There are 194 other countries in the world most of whom have never heard…
Great pictures, thanks for the interesting introduction to a camera of which I was almost entirely unaware.
Thanks Andrew for a great article and images. The Ricoh GRs or GRDs are wonderful travelling cameras: pocketable, great image…
Completely agree. In fact the lack of a viewfinder and tiny size can really help in some situations where you…
Thanks for the positive feedback. It is a great little camera for sure. What I like the best is that…
Great read, Keith, thanks for sharing. Bouldering is a thoroughly likeable way of doing sports. All boulderers I personally know…
Wonderful story and great images, Andrew. Thanks for sharing. I motivated to get my own GRIIIx out of the drawer.…
Great article! Great pictures too! The GR3 would be an amazing camera even if it wasn’t pocketable. Imaging envelope is…
I really like that – “it will never be my only camera but it will always be my second camera”.…
Takes one to know one 😉
