I viewed the video on downloading firmware updates (M 10) and it looked easy….. BUT I get this message

There is no application set to open the document “M10-P-3.21.3.50-Customer(1).FW”.

I searched the App Store …. found Leica Acquire but it was of no help.

Please help me

  Do not try to open the firmware file on your computer by double-clicking. Just drag and drop it onto your SD card.

The ASC Edition has special firmware that includes the cine looks. There is no update for it at this time.

There is a mistake in the diagrams provided by Leica. Beginning from the sensor side there are:

– a single element, a doublet and a single element, for a total of 13 elements, as specified in the text, in the lens cut

– a single element and two doublets for a total of 14 elements in the technical drawing.

I have had success with M10P files in LR but not M10M raw files. Any suggestions?
The l-camera forum predicts Adobe will correct this error with their next update in March.

Depending on your import settings, you may need to go into the Upright control in the Transform palette and click on Guided. This will activate the guides stored in the DNG metadata.

Today, Leica has announced the reissue of the legendary first-generation Noctilux-M 50mm f/1.2 ASPH lens. The first ultra-fast aperture lens from Leica to bear the designation ‘Noctilux' was introduced in 1966 […]

The original Noctilux f/1.2 is not a lens I've seen a lot of modern reviews of — either on YouTube or written up articles. If the optical character and charm of the original has been preserved when wide open, I am curious how this lens departs from the older one when stopped down, in order to achieve the performance Leica is claiming it delivers on today's digital sensors (coatings, modern assembly tolerances?).

Also, for anyone who's worked with both, I am curious how the character of the lens differs from the Summilux-M ASPH (which I own and love). From these samples, it appears that the out of focus areas take on somewhat of a chaotic energy, rather than the creamy, smoothness of the Summilux.

Would love to hear more about this and the original as samples become available for testing!

The photos in the sample gallery look very good. It does not look technically or unbelievably modern. I feel very good about that lens.
