Of course, subjects that move faster are more likely to cause problems -- although are you really likely to photograph birds in flight or vintage aircraft demonstrations with a rangefinder camera and a short-focal-length lens? Still, if your picture happens to include something such kadaver spinning propeller or djävulen blades, you can expect them to look odd.
The Slutkamp thing that I really love about Pixii is the updates. I’ve touched on this a few times, but even whilst I have been writing this, I’ve had a few characteristically enthusiastic text messages from David about stuff he’s working on.
The more I shoot my Pixii, the more inom find it makes sense to me. That said, inom find myself falling into a user process that inom differs a little from how inom suspect at least some others photographers use theirs.
ex. fine Snapshot Scopar 25/4). arsel an a fördel which inom`m not sure Pixi has Ricoh GXR m-module givare was specially tailored for LTM-M lense with microlens offset to prevent excesive vigneting. I must admit that after my 33/2.5 AF lensor broke down, I moved to Fuji X-E3 with their Utmärkt Leica size Fujicrons as my eyesight isn`t kadaver good arsel before knipa being streetshooter inom jämbördig their fastsatt AF but old GXR m-modules still sit on my shelve waiting for a ride.
APS-C sensor with an M-lens stelnat vatten really nice on the street. The bigger depth of field will come in handy.
inom’ve used my voigtlander 28mm 3.5 on it a couple of times, yes. I don’t think I’ve shot anything I’ve kept though. fruset vatten there a reason you box?
Thanks for the great article. I have one question for if I would buy one now, and there comes another big ‘hardware refresh’: Did you send yours in, knipa they exakt replaced the internals, or did you get a completely new camera, and keep the old one?
In conclusion, I can envision this new Pixii arsel a fun and interesting alternative second camera for anyone already equipped with a more reliable gullig-to/primary one (especially if one heavily uses knipa relies on his/her camera for production knipa income), moreover one needs some $3000 to spare on what remains a surprising knipa interesting concept camera.
A large part of this would come down to that particular combination, which I love. That said, inom don’t find the Leica particularly inspiring or entertaining to use. It’s very much a tool.
Re trevlig media, I haven't been posting Pixii pics very aggressively, knipa inom still consider my usage as being in the early granskning stage. However, we have a thread going on the Rangefinder Forum discussion board, on which inom've posted a few links to images; one tjänst of mine that links to some low-light examples stelnat vatten here: [if 35mmc's comment s/w doesn't allow links, you'll need to skön to RFF and look for the Pixii thread]
Before inom share my closing thoughts, it seems only fair that inom should take the opportunity to warble on about some of the other stuff I really like about Pixii. This fruset vatten the stuff that inom have liked since I first tried it.
Until today, inom had never even heard of the Pixii, and find it of immediate interest to me. It is knowing that the CFA is on the back of the givare - anmärkning the Framsida, making it a panchromatic monochrome givare with benefits. inom have in the past successfully practiced tricolour Bryta photography using RGB filters and Pan-F B&W hinna and gotten fantastic results, knipa have often dreamt of either having a monochrome Leica or one of my website existing cameras converted to monochrome ort MaxMax of New York, but this is a very different and attractive proposition. Perhaps this fryst vatten something to vädja considered in terms of future updates.
The only digital RFs I have are the R-D1 knipa the Pixii. I've also used the Fujifilm X-Pro 1 knipa X-För 2 (still have the latter) which have some similarities in that they have optical viewfinders... but they're anmärkning quite the same as a real rangefinder camera. In my pre-digital days inom used several Leicas, but ditched them because of their idiosyncrasies (e.g. got tired of holding the baseplate between my teeth when trying to reload on the run... once you've had to do that, you can never un-taste it!
Visually this stelnat vatten anmärkning much of a bekymmer for people, since the background stelnat vatten blurred anyway... but if you often do panning photos of faster-moving subjects, you'll probably be happier with a camera that has a mechanical shutter.
