John,
For a safari you will want a fast telephoto lens as the animals are not always within 10 feet during the day. Many times at dusk or dawn in low light. Yes amping up the iso will help. Yes digitally zooming in your 23 will help. But consider renting a tele zoom or prime.
But you asked about filters. The coating on today’s lenses is very s…[Read more] -

Jheroun replied to the topic SF 64 Flash with Leica SL in the forum Leica SL (Typ 601) 2 months ago
Looks like an all-too-familiar result of Leica flash set to TTL or automatic modes, which inexplicably reads the exposure incorrectly. I’ve got three Leica flashes and they are all unpredictable—on various cameras—when expected to properly gauge the scene.
To your last point, if the flash is firing, the connection is not the problem. I sug…[Read more]

Hi folks,
I just got a Leica CL Starter Bundle (with the Elmarit TL 18mm) and I also purchased a Summicron 23mm lens. I wanted to know if I should be using a filter while on the safari part of my trip? I am assuming I’ll be in an open top Land Rover and there would be a lot of sunshine.
Has anyone gone on a safari with any Leica (not just a CL)…[Read more]

I’m pleased to join RDF! I own several camera systems along with a D-LUX 7 for fun. I am seriously interested in the Q platform. I am primarily a photographer (vs a videographer). So, I’m not sure that I need all of the power of a Q2. I was looking seriously at the Q-P. Spec-wise, it’s perfect for the type of photography that I do. I don’t…[Read more]

This has to be one of the most, if not the most, comprehensive review I’ve read of any camera (not just a Leica camera). To say well done is an understatement. Thanks!

Yes. I used single field AF for all my shots.

Your comprehensive review was the final trigger to buy the CL. Thanks for this great work.

So, I posed the question of an APO tele extender to the lens designers when I was at the factory last summer. The answer was that they already have a 1.5x extender that doesn’t result in light loss or reduction in quality. “It’s called a Leica CL.” Actually makes sense. You still get 24MP and the equivalent of a 135-420mm while retaining the f/2.8-4 max aperture. Also, AF and OIS work perfectly on the CL. If Leica sold an L tele extender it would probably cost the same as an entire CL camera. So, you get an extender and a backup body that can take all the SL lenses. Not so crazy, right?

Are the Q’s thumbs up, hand grip and Arte di Mano half cases compatible with the Q2?
Very good introduction by David Farkas.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
