But we are really off topic now.
I think I’ll ask for a Off Topic or Chat section in the Forum.
I think that some of the best stuff comes from off-topic - people can give their thought instantly without having to compose a whole new framework elsewhere (where no-one goes to look anyway) - then it’s easy enough to come back on-topic.
Every thing that’s come into this thread I’ve found interesting and valuable.
I have played with a 6m fishing pole in order to take rooftop pics of the horizon for solar-study, the camera/iphone counterweighted to hang dead-horizontal. Relies on image stabilisation! I bought https://www.cullmann.de/en/detail/id/smartpano-360.html for remote pan and shutter but found it only does 2.5m range. Someone said a TV universal remote can replace the low-power Cullmann remote, for more range. but haven’t gone there yet.
But now drones becxome feasible!
That LX100 looks wonderful - and in silver could easily pass for a traditional Leica!
