I was looking at getting one of these type wooden grips for my M10-P and noticed there's something that fits in the hotshoe and adds a thumb grip.

Does anyone have experience with custom aftermarket grips?

The internet has seemed pretty quiet since the release of the cv ultron 35mm f2. I was wondering if anyone has bought one and assessed the image quality and handling so far?

I've been using a pretty new microfiber cloth. I make sure that there's no grit on there to scratch my lens. Also, does anyone use protective gear for snow/rain conditions even if their lens are fixed? I covered up the microphone to shoot during snowy conditions, but I'm not sure if it helps with protecting my camera. I use the Leica Q if that's…[Read more]

Today I have updated the firmware from my Leica Q directly from 1.0 to the new 3.0. Is that OK ? Or must I also update the firmwares between the 1.0 and the 3.0 ?

Thanks alot for the clear update instructions from RDF !

While I enjoy discussing about Leica, I have received a number of unsolicited messages looking for things beyond Leica.
Most obviously these are crooks abusing this forum.
How can we report these fake accounts?
There is no link for blocking or reporting these people.
Honestly I have no trouble in any forum except this one.

Hey guys,

I got an M6 twelve months ago and have gone through six different lenses (five Zeiss, one Canon) over that period just to work out what I like with a rangefinder. I've now decided that I like a 35mm for street shooting and a 50mm for portraits. They are my two areas of interest in photography.

Now I have that settled, I'd like to buy…[Read more]

A little backstory, right now I have a Sony A7r iii that I used for mainly as a b-cam for video at my old job. But now I’ve changed jobs and just have it for personal work (portaits and street photography). I know it’s still a great camera, but it’s just not “fun” to shoot and a lot more than I really need. I’ve found myself using my Canonet ql1…[Read more]

New to Leica world, still getting used to some quirky menu/interface things after shooting years on Fuji and Canon. Nothing I wasn't expecting. And I'm really happy with the images I'm getting … when I can get them. I've had my Leica QP about 3 weeks and I have to say, the daily freezing/crashing has me pulling my hair out. Is this normal for…[Read more]

Hey folks, I recently dug out some of my grandmother’s old photography gear (m3, summicron 50 and 90, summaron 35, and a Leica meter). Most of it is in great condition and seems to be operating properly. (Side note: any reason to bother with a CLA since it’s all been in a box for a decade at least?) Then there’s the meter. Therese no visible damag…[Read more]

So I have been shooting with a Sony A7riii for since its been out and a Sony shooter for 5 years. I used to shoot small events like concerts but recently being older and in college I tend to shoot only landscape, lifestyle, and portraits. So basically I shoot a lot of stills or photos with minimal movement. Has anyone made the switch from Sony to…[Read more]

I bought a 50mm Summilux ASPH a few weeks ago from Tamarkin and it appeared that the rangefinder won’t focus at infinity, and the focusing scale is off by like a meter (measured against a tap measure). I sent it back to Tamarkin for them to test and they said that they tested on 5 of their cameras and it focus fine, even at infinity (They are r…[Read more]

Hello,

I just got a Leica m-a, and want to know if it will show brassing over time. If it is black chrome like M7, I know it would not show brass, but I just read a review that M-A is made out of brass and matte black paint over(?)

Is this true?
