    I was just gifted a new Q2M and can't get the latest Lightroom Classic (Adobe Cloud Photo Plan) software to show the camera dng or jpeg file images on my M1 Mac OS Big Sur 11.5.2.

    “Preview Unavailable For This File” shown after import from sd card into LR 10.4 Camera Raw 13.4. Advice?

    Thank you!

    David, I just saw your show ‘keep it simple'. You mentioned a workshop november 2022 in Japan. I am interested in this.

    Is this common occurrence for the 240 to underexpose the shots? My point and shoot camera gets the correct exposure every time while the expensive Leica is consistently underexposed.

    I think its time to let my 240 go. It is beautiful and works great. Beautiful patina! Comes with thumb rest, battery, original box, original strap and charger, Has body cap as well. Patch is clean
    Can send photos to serious buyers.

    I don't know what I'm doing wrong but my images are underexposed by at least two stops. I am using the classic exposer setting for the light meter.

    You already have a digital SL2. So digital is not new to you. You are right that you may not use the M6 as much if you had a digital M. If for no other reason than speed of processing the photos. With digital it is almost instantaneous. Then there is the cost of film processing, even if you develop yourself there is a cost not incurred with…[Read more]

    Jjoc3923 replied to the topic New Leica user saying ‘Hi’ in the forum General Leica Discussion 4 years, 9 months ago

    The current version of the fotos app is a significant improvement over the original. The CL does not have any external ports. So I have to rely on it. It does get the job done. That being said, my tripod and head are meant for a heavier full frame / APS-C DSLR. I have not had any issue with camera shake when pressing the shutter release while the…[Read more]

    Hi Chris,

    Have you tried using the Leica FOTOS app? You can remotely control the camera and use it as a release.
    It's worked alright with me for some night photography with the Q.
    Hope it works out well for you

    best,

    Hi everyone,

    I've been shooting film with my Leica M6 for about 2 years now. I'm dealing with a little internal battle, part of me wants to get into the Digital M cameras. But, there's a part of me wondering if I go into digital Ms, I won't go back to my M6 or my experience shooting my M6 will completely change.
    Note : I have an SL2 with an M…[Read more]
