I had tested, last Friday, SF 64 flash with Leica SL during marriage ceremony which was taken in church and I'm very disapointed.
The photographs were overexposed, I had tried to correct -EV at the flash but results were not satisfactory.
In the camera I had adjusted ISO to “automatic” – maybe it was my mistake?
Thanks God there was enough…[Read more]

I am selling a Leica D-Lux 6 (G-Star Raw Edition) camera that I purchased on this forum several years ago (you can still see the ad below!). It's been a great travel camera and still produces excellent images and is in terrific condition. (I am just using my M9 almost exclusively now.) Comes with everything that was originally with the camera…[Read more]

Somehow last week I managed to lose the magnifier I had been using on my M9 (so that's what that little chain is for!). I'd be interested in buying one from a forum member — ideally it would still have the rubber o ring that so many of these seem to lose over time. Don't really need box, instruction manual, etc., but if they come with the…[Read more]

Finally. For months, Apple users have been expecting a 2018 refresh to the MacBook Pro, last updated in 2016. And today, Apple has addressed at least some of the community's desires for the 13 inch and 15 inch […]

David,
I really appreciate your comments on this new machine, and I look forward to your decision. I am relatively happy with my mid 2014 15” MacBook Pro, and have avoided an upgrade until 32Gig Ram was finally available. I am also looking at an upgrade to my desktop and for similar money I could rationalize an iMacPro.I know you are an agnostic on operating systems so I pay attention to your thoughts. Your comments on 4K rendering speed catch my attention.
Too bad that instead of a Leica watch, Leica doesn’t make a computer.

Jack,
I have a feeling that we won't have to wait too long for in-depth benchmarking tests on the new MBP 2018. Besides the raw numbers, I will still need to go to the Apple Store to see for myself if the slightly tweaked keyboard is any better a typing experience.
As far as a desktop goes, I think the only way to go these days is to just build your own. A quality i7-8700K 6-core build with a 30% overclock (5GHz) can be had for $2,100, even with a beefy GTX 1070Ti graphics card (faster than both the Vega 56 standard and Vega 64 top of the line option on iMac Pro). Then pick up an LG 43″ 4K monitor with 100% sRBG gamut and super accurate color for $700. Yes, 43 inches. Yes, $700.
So, for roughly half the price of the iMac Pro, you get a solid imaging workstation that chews through photos and video. Here's a quick config I threw together: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qpwwq4. You're not limited to a 27″ screen, and you can upgrade the SSD, add additional internal storage, upgrade the video card (or add a second in SLI), even change out the CPU. Half the price, with up to 50% better performance in Adobe apps. I know a lot of people like the 27″ screen, but as someone who uses a 34″ ultra-wide LG everyday, 27″ is tiny. And I'm seriously eyeing the 43″ 4K LG to gain even more screen real estate. For serious content creation, more is almost always better.
And honestly, if you didn't need a monster video editing machine, scaling back the graphics could save you a few hundred, to well under $2K. I just wanted to give an apples to apples comparison (pardon the pun). Realistically, with a $5-6K budget, you could get a tricked out Razer Blade 15 laptop (32GB RAM / 2TB SSD) for $3,500 and a desktop for $2,000-2,500. Or, just plug the 43″ monitor into the laptop and call it a day, for $4,200. All that being said…. I'm still pulling for the MacBook Pro to surprise me when reviews come out this week.

I use the new iMac PRO for lightroom/PS and it is wonderful.

Good article David. I ordered mine with the 4TB SSD today. Will report vack

Looking forward to your experience, Mark!

I am on the fence as well. Still using my 2015 Mac pro in the field but am perplexed as to why they dropped the SD card reader???-
Albert,
Apple dropped the SD card reader for the same reason as why they omitted full-size USB-A or HDMI ports, and why the keyboard has such short travel – thinness. Thinness at all costs. And, if you check out my update from today, you'll see that there seems to be a very tangible performance penalty as well.

The new 6-core Windows laptops render video as fast (or faster) than most desktops. The Gigabyte Aero 15x, Razer Blade 15, MSI GS65, and Dell XPS 15 all are able to cool the new processors and are only 1-3mm thicker than the MacBook Pro. They weigh between 4 and 4.5 lbs. Other larger gaming laptops, like the Aurus X9 are even able to run overclocked i7 and i9 processors around 5GHz and still stay under 80 deg C. This computer is no lightweight at 7 lbs and 0.9 inches thick, but certainly no where near the bulk of previous generations of gaming laptops.

Exciting news for Apple enthusiasts! The update to the MacBook Pro with 8th gen processors is a game-changer. With these new processors, we can expect even better performance and efficiency from our MacBooks.
First, I started using this MacBook for my work at the https://hrforecast.com/ company. The company purchased these MacBooks for all its employees half a year after these MacBooks went on sale.

David,
I appreciate your comment:
This is just not cool.
Apple has replied that the throttling was a firmware fault and it has been corrected ?
