There's a Cartier-Bresson link to this shot, as he stood more or less in the same place in 1955!

Strange… when I go to TP from my home WiFi it says my IP is banned, but from mobile data it works ok!

Have you got a VPN running ? I noticed when ive used my VPN and go on the forum it says im banned yet when its turned off all is fine.

I don't intentionally use a VPN for visiting here its when ive forgot ive had one running in the background.

I emailed TP support and they sorted it, but I don't use a VPN (maybe I should?!)

Some VPN routes are blocked ('banned') but others function ok, its very hit and miss!

I e used it for all of 5 minutes, and I’m very much liking it! Menus are much nicer, the customization is pretty awesome to have (really like that you can set which crops you want enabled rather than having to always cycle down the list to get back to normal). Subject detection seems a lot better, although it still thinks a bottle cap is a human….

Startup time on the Q3 is now about 1 second on the dot. Very much welcome!

Hi, in Frankfurt/D ... (M9 - ZEISS Biogon 2,8/25 f 5,6 ; pano-crop ) :





Equipment note : Leica does not sell 24mm lenses any more, which is quite a surprise :

M-Objektive Produktübersicht | Leica Camera DE

leica-camera.com

The ZEISS 25mm Biogon is available new. On ebay, 24mm Leica lenses are available used, of course.

I have the 24mm Elmar and the 24mm Elmarit ASPH. If you wanted to buy only one, I would recommend the 24mm Elmari ASPH.

But one can also live quite happily with 2 24mm lenses and a 25mm ...
