rawburnt started the topic Leica Q2: bokeh vs shake in the forum General Leica Discussion 4 years, 12 months ago
I’ve had my Q2 (first Leica) for about 5 months now and I gotta say that it’s an impressive piece of tech. I’m still using the auto focus for now, but am slowly getting comfortable with the range finding approach. With enough practice, I’ll get the hang of it.
With that said, I had a technical question regarding bokeh and shutter speed and whe…[Read more]

JMG started the topic D-Lux 7 touch screen focus in the forum Leica D-Lux 4 years, 12 months ago
When I got my new Q2 Monochrom I also bought my wife a new D-Lux 7 to take along on our travels (she has a better eye for composition than I do). Her experience with cameras beyond an iPhone is limited. She wants to shoot in aperture priority most of the time. The problem is that it’s really easy to accidentally move the position of the a…[Read more]

I have a camera bag problem.
It started out innocent enough – just one or two bags for different-sized camera systems – maybe a backpack for longer hauls and a shoulder bag for the day-to-day stuff. Yet […]

David Farkas wrote a new post, Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-70mm f/2.8 ASPH 5 years ago
Today, Leica has announced a new addition to the SL-System lens lineup. The Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-70mm f/2.8 ASPH, priced at just $2,795, offers photographers a slightly smaller, lighter and less expensive […]

Construction and ergonomics are certainly different. They feel entirely different in hand, with the Leica featuring an all-metal barrel and the standard, great feel of focus and zoom rings. The Sigma feels and sounds hollow and plasticky, and has a very grindy plastic-on-plastic feel on the zoom and focus rings. And optically, based on our internal head-to-head testing, the Leica offered superior results. Now, this might be purely down to Leica's more stringent quality control requirements and tighter tolerances, but that is also something that you are guaranteed to get with the Leica lens. For a full breakdown and to see the testing, check out our Red Dot Forum Camera Talk episode on the 24-70 f/2.8 lens here: https://youtu.be/IAxlRBSD2jQ

I want it for all Leica cameras.

Agreed! This is a game-changer for landscape photography and from-the-hip street shooting alike.

Did I hear correctly that Leica was going to release new firmware for the SL-2 lenses that would allow for adjustment of focus throw? I have been waiting for this but seen no announcement of such. Thanks in advance…Peter

The lens firmware is already available.

Jack MacD replied to the topic Fast, Wide Lens for Astrophotography in the forum M Lenses 5 years ago
Mike,
I have not used either the 35 1.4 older model or the 28 2.0 for astrophotography. I don’t believe vignetting is an issue with the 21 but if that’s not your preferred field of view, go with a 35. You have also reduced your cost. What is the issue is what ISO works best on your Sony. If you are willing to shoot at say 3,200 you don’t need…[Read more] -
JMG replied to the topic Fast, Wide Lens for Astrophotography in the forum M Lenses 5 years ago
Thanks for the quick response! These days I find that I end up cropping a lot of my night shots , so I’m using 28 or 35 mm lenses more often than my very wide 15 and 20 mm lenses (where distortion and vignetting can be issues). I have thought about the 21 mm 1.4, but also wonder if the older 35mm Summilux-M f1.4 or the 28 mm Summicron f2, both o…[Read more]

That’s an easy choice but not inexpensive.
21mm 1.4.
Lucky for you, the Leica Store Miami has one used as well as new. -
JMG started the topic Fast, Wide Lens for Astrophotography in the forum M Lenses 5 years ago
I'm looking for suggestions on an M mount lens that might be suitable for moon-lit nightscapes and astrophotography (mainly milky way and starry sky) . I plan to use this lens (with an adapter) on my Sony A7Riii because of the camera's great low light sensitivity. I already have an assortment of Sony and other non-Leica lenses for the A7Riii, but…[Read more]

Thanks for reading! It's always fun to put these together and to see how our bags have changed over time. The mini Eyelead is a game changer! I bet if you asked Josh nicely he'd send you a few business cards.
I just purchased the small, Billingham bag you recommended and I love it. Thanks for the recommendation.
