    S 120mm Macro on the SL2. As a partial response to what I've been reading I decided to add the Leica APO-MACRO-SUMMARIT-S 120mm F2.5. I was excited about a fast lens that I could use for portraiture and macro photography. I purchased a near mint condition lens with a “replaced”motor” on eBay. Unfortunately I'm struggling with its use. It's…[Read more]

      Yes they are a bit noisy as there is quite a distance the elements are moving, but very noisy if you don’t truly have a replaced motor gearing. The claim of a replaced motor on an eBay listing would be suspect unless they provided proof. The fact that it focuses at all suggests that it is working for now.

    Hello David and Josh! Sadly I got my answer, “Auto” or “A” mode took the reflected ambient/metered light reading from my subject, and even though I had set-up with “Auto ISO,” the lens opened up to f/1.7 because of the weaker reflected/ambient light from my subject… I should have controlled my Depth of Field by utilizing “Aperture-P…[Read more]

    Hello David, I am disappointed and confused… I shot an entire photo session with my Leica Q in Auto Mode… all of the images ended up being shot at f/1.7 with of course, extremely shallow depth of field. My set up was Auto ISO, so I thought depth of field and camera motion would have been compensated for by constantly changing ISO to optimum…[Read more]

    The sensor was beginning to de-laminate, the same problem that dogged the M9. While I haven't heard that the problem was systemic, mine was clearly not an aberration as Leica owned up to it, no questions asked. And it's been terrific ever since.

    I do use wireless flash triggers. Mine are Visatec and Vello. I can also use a speedlight. Pocket…[Read more]

    What was wrong that you needed replaced. I bought one this su,m,er and havent noticed anything.
    Do you have wireless triggers fro flash? what do you use? Have you used the remote control port?
