If you like cameras that make instant prints, you might like this post I wrote for Hamish over on 35MMC about the Sofort 2. A fab little camera that might just put a smile on your face and a spring in your step. #photography www.35mmc.com/21/09/2026/l...

The Sofort 2 is one such collaboration, Leica’s second forray into instant photography following the original Sofort camera from 2016

The latest Vergecast with @theroberthart.bsky.social and @davidpierce.xyz is very helpful in understanding open weight AI models. I wonder if a simpler analogy is that open source is cooking. Open-source is like cooking from scratch, you have all the ingredients and you can change what you like.
