Why I Use Auto ISO on Leica Cameras (and Why You Should Too)

18.4K views April 27, 2025 12:09 pm

In this video, Leica Specialist Colin McKinley explains how to customize the Auto-ISO settings on your Leica camera to streamline your photographic process. As ISO performance has improved dramatically in recent years, Auto-ISO has become an essential part of the pro photographer’s toolkit. By allowing the camera to make the same decisions you would already be making, it frees you up to spend more time focusing on capturing the moment.

Red Dot Forum Camera Talk: Leica Q3 43

26.4K views October 12, 2024 10:32 pm

In this episode of Red Dot Forum Camera Talk, Leica experts Josh Lehrer and David Farkas are talking about the recently-introduced Leica Q3 43. Based on the third-generation Q3, the Q3 43 expands the system with a new reference-class 43mm APO-Summicron lens attached to the same cutting-edge digital body. They'll discuss where the new Q3 43 fits within the Leica ecosystem and if it would be a worthwhile addition to your own photographic kit. As usual, Josh has done extensive head-to-head testing to show how the new Q3 43 stacks up against other Leica options in the 35-50mm focal length range, including the top-tier APO-Summicron-SL and APO-Summicron-M lenses on both SL3 and M11 bodies.

Red Dot Forum Camera Talk: Show Us Your Leica Kit - Round 3

14.8K views June 8, 2024 10:30 pm

Join Leica experts Josh Lehrer and David Farkas as they bring together two favorite topics: “What’s in Our Bag” featuring favorite gear of the Leica Store Miami team, and “Show Us Your Kit” where they react to user-submitted Leica kits.
They will comment and geek out, offering up suggestions for adding to, paring down, or making changes based on each setup. Or maybe just gush over some unique camera or lens that they wish they had. Plus, you'll get to see what our team is using this year.

How to Submit
=======================
Submissions are welcome before the livestream.

Briefly tell us about your kit, what kind of photography you're into, any challenges you're having or goals you want to achieve, and maybe some changes you're thinking about making.

Make sure to include a high resolution picture of your Leica kit - whether it’s a camera-in-hand shot of your favorite single-lens setup or a lay flat of your entire kit with accessories, snacks and all.

Images should be in JPEG format and at least 2000 x 3000px, or 6MP. If pictures are too low resolution, we can't use them. Remember, we broadcast in full 4K so we need all those glorious pixels.

Red Dot Forum Camera Talk: The Bokeh Episode

15.2K views September 10, 2023 9:26 pm

In this episode of Red Dot Forum Camera Talk, Leica experts Josh Lehrer and David Farkas are diving deep into bokeh. Often an enigmatic subject, bokeh is the rendering of out-of-focus objects in a photo and is influenced by a wide variety of factors. They'll discuss what makes 'good' bokeh and how lens choice, aperture and focus distance all contribute to a pleasing background. And of course, Josh and David have brought plenty of lenses of various focal lengths, maximum apertures and vintages to demonstrate live in the studio.

Red Dot Forum Camera Talk: Leica Q3

67.4K views June 24, 2023 10:17 pm

In this episode of Red Dot Forum Camera Talk, Leica experts Josh Lehrer and David Farkas are talking about the recently-introduced Leica Q3. Now in its third generation, the latest Leica Q3 builds on the already capable Q2 while offering upgraded imaging performance and numerous physical improvements. As usual, Josh has done head-to-head testing to show how the new Q3 stacks up against its predecessor, the Q2. And David took the Q3 for a test run in Paris, France where he put the new camera through its paces for a week, with plenty of real-world sample images.

29K views November 19, 2022 11:09 pm

In this episode of Red Dot Forum Camera Talk, Leica experts Josh Lehrer and David Farkas will discuss all the latest product introductions from Leica. It's been a little while since our last livestream due to non-stop travel and there's lots to talk about!

Since our last show, Leica has introduced the new M6 film camera, a revamped 35mm Summilux-M ASPH FLE II, the classic reissue of the 35mm Summilux v1 'Steel Rim', and the SL2-S Reporter, along with two special edition Q2 cameras - the Q2 'Dawn' by Seal and Q2 'Ghost' by Hodinkee. We've gotten hands-on with almost everything and will share our thoughts, then take a look at how these new products fit in to the existing line-up.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask away live during the show, or email us ahead of time at youttube@reddotforum.com.

Red Dot Forum Camera Talk: Show Us Your Leica Kit - Part II

14.6K views August 13, 2022 10:26 pm

In our last episode of Red Dot Forum Camera Talk, we asked our viewers to show us their Leica kits. The response was overwhelming. And while Leica experts Josh Lehrer and David Farkas managed to react to and discuss 50 Leica setups, they didn't even make it halfway through. In Part II, they'll pick up where they left off, offering up commentary and recommendations.

Submissions before the show are welcome, as are ones during the livestream. Send them to info@leicastoremiami.com with the subject line "Show Us Your Leica Kit". Briefly tell us what kind of photography you're into, any challenges you're having or goals you want to achieve, and maybe some changes you're thinking about making. And of course, make sure to attach a high-res picture, or pictures, of your Leica kit - whether it’s a camera-in-hand shot of your favorite single-lens setup or a lay-flat of your full setup.
