    scottie started the topic Firmware 4 in the forum Leica Q (Typ 116) 3 years, 7 months ago

    I feel ashamed to make this request for help but am feeling fraught!
    Have just bought used Q having ariived there via M8 and CL.
    I follow the instruction for downloading the latest firmware but it wll not load into the camera. I notice that it looks as thought the previous owner used a Mac. Would this affect the process?
    Any helpful suggestions welcome!

    jonazop replied to the topic Leica Q2: bokeh vs shake in the forum General Leica Discussion 3 years, 7 months ago

    Since the release of the camera there has been lots of internet chatter about more Q cameras with different focal lengths (principally a 35 or 50). But Leica’s attitude was that having a 28mm lens with framelines for 35 and 50 gave maximum flexibility.

    In my opinion, you need to start with content for the online store. This is the first thing the buyer pays attention to, the more you interest her, the more profitable you are. The company https://us.essayassistant.net/buy-argumentative-essay/ writes content for any sites, as well as works for universities.

      Capture One is a great choice and offers official support for Leica DNGs. But we do continue to prefer Lightroom for file management and image processing. Lightroom works so well with Leica files due to Leica and Adobe's close collaboration since 2009. Adobe is a juggernaut in the imaging world. They continue to introduce new and powerful features, constantly improving image quality, processing speed and pushing what can be accomplished in a single end-to-end RAW workflow.

      Choices are great. At the end of the day, use what works best for your photography and workflow. If that's C1, awesome.

    Hi,

    I’m looking for some help / recommendations for a 50mm lens to pair with an M6 (my first Leica film camera).

    I’m looking at either the Voigtlander f1.2 nokton or the f2 apo-lanthar.

    I’m mainly looking to shoot landscapes and travel, etc and was wondering if the (apparent) sharpness of the apo would be best to pair with film, rather than…[Read more]

    Epson code 0x97 code is a kind of caution at whatever point you experience an inner equipment issue with your printer. It tends to be a direct result of a motherboard breakdown or some other sort of inner part glitch.
