They must be attempting to integrate the rotation of the earth, the earth's orbit, and the sun's orbit around the galaxy.
I thought the Teamsters were the trucker union and were relatively powerful....
I read it on your good recommendation. Was not disappointed. That woman is fire! She even ends it with recommendations for congress on broader issues related to the justice system they could be working on. 10/10, no notes.
TBH, I wanted the MD as well, but couldn't find one. The folks in the Soho store were lovely.
It's my first digital body and I'm not too precious about the sensor/look details between the different bodies after the M9. As long as it mounts my glass and I can play in Lightroom I'm happy.
I got lost in all the breakdowns between the M8-11 minutiae. Eventually, I just set a budget and kept my eyes open for a body.
I picked it up used at the Leica retail store in Soho NYC in better condition and pricing than I'd seen at Adorama and B&H for the same model.
I don't have much to compare it too beyond an M6 and I find it feels good and is solid as you'd expect from a Leica. It's one sweet unit.

Longwood Gardens has the best bathrooms there. Around the curve, each door opens to a private suite.

VoightLander NOKTON 40mm f1.4 S.C, Anthracite Leica ME Digital Body
Love this lens, it's my daily driver. I like to shoot wide open for a shallow depth of field with a messy bokeh. Have had it for years, used to use it extensively on my Voigtlander Bessa R3A.
Pretty well built, compact even with the lens shade. It's easy and smooth to focus. The single coated version flares a bit more, and has a slightly lower contrast than the multi coated version from what I've read. Love the contrast and and the painterly feel it gives.
Ill post a sample separately.
In my role I get copious email, direct, cc'd for visibility or automated stuff.
In Gmail, I build a rule to label and archive automated things like alerts or bills and keeps them out of my inbox and I can choose to engage at my leisure.
For everything else I star and archive. I have a few points throughout the day I triage or act on. Immediate response things get responded too, things I need to address but it's not urgent I star and archive. Then I look through my starred emails occasionally to see if anything has risen in priority for me to address, and I do so. Everything else lays untouched in starred.
What I find is this keeps me close to inbox zero, helps me keep important stuff visible and often stuff I've starred, given time takes care of itself before I engage and I eventually unstar it to never be seen again as it just wasn't important or didn't need my engagement.
It works well for me. Sometimes I get behind, and that's ok. I'm only one person, and I have time boxed time to prevent email dominating my life
I'm just here for that punchline. Exquisite!
Obsidian!
Daughter found a piece of obsidian, reluctantly stopped long enough to show it to me and grab a pic.

Need to get those MMs of the latest WaReZ. I got a T1 FTP connect with DrinkOrDie, and chill with BoxingNun of UPS.
Goodness, I just had a memory of web rings in the 90s on tripod, anglefire, and geocities, lol.
If I set up a Lemmy instance it'll have to be named lemmycities.

It's well built, I'll say that. No play in it's construction, everything is smooth, aperture stops click satisfyingly.
Like I said, the focus takes a bit to get used to, but it's not too bad. The little focus ears are cute, remind me of the ones you'd find on the old Arri-mount Cooke Kinetels for 16mm. I'll probably remove them at some point.
I haven't done much with it yet, but It's sharp, with a soft bokeh, warmer tones than Zeiss or Leica glass. It looks like a Cooke :)
In terms of shooting with a digital body, it certainly is nice not sitting on a roll for a while before developing it. I'm still getting used to the Lightroom Classic workflow and it's capabilities. The freedom is a bit intimidating.
I'm used to trying to get what I want in the camera. Knowing the film stock, the processes, the lens... I like the exercise of solving the puzzle. I was never one for shooting clean and relying on post. The DNG format is pretty flexible, reminds me of working on a digital intermediate in cine.
I like quirky lenses and shallow DoF. I shoot a lot with a single coated Voigtlander 40mm Nokton and get a nice painterly feel, so I think the LLL SP2 will fit in nicely.
I'll post a sample as a new post here to get the post count going for the community.
Chrome Light Lens Lab 50mm (Cooke) Speed Panchro, Anthracite Leica ME Digital Body
I'm just getting back into photography after losing my dark room to parenthood years back. The ME is my first digital body. I used to have a set of PL-mount Cookes when I worked in motion picture film, always loved them for personal projects and some music video work, so I am excited for this lens.
It's a bit difficult to focus at times, a wee big, but otherwise it's one sweet unit.
Meh, we have an opportunity to set a new tone and culture. Just power through the noise. I thoroughly enjoyed your post. Cheers!
It's funny all the people posting about a shared withdrawal. Reddit was a habit. I feel it. But, I'm here to fill the void with a healthier substitute. Cheers everyone, we're going to make this awesome!
