    Hi all,

    I've launched the FlickerFinder App which helps crews spot flicker on set. flickerfinder.com

    Since the problem is spread between Lighting, Camera, & Art, flicker is a real PITA, which is why I made the app.
    Let me know your thoughts.

    The M9 is fairly plentiful online for a good price. However not always available is the replaced sensor.

    I’m sorry I see that you’ve explained that there were two different campaigns to solve the corrosion issues. Was that all you were trying to say? You made it sound like you had a helpful guide to detecting if a sensor has been replaced. Maybe I’m missing something?

      Loved the article.very good review.i own the Leica sl for almost 4 years .would I still be able to use the adobe lightroom to process my workflow with the Leica sl2? I have a15inch mac book pro.

      • Profile picture of David Farkas
        David Farkas replied 6 years, 8 months ago

        Just a note on the laptop question. The 85MB DNG files from the SL2 place a much higher demand on your computer than the SL601 files did. The latest generation MBP with six and eight core processors should be able to handle the files fine, better if equipped with 32GB of RAM vs. the base 16GB. Older generation hardware will work, but you'll definitely feel it.

      I own the Leica sl for almost 4 years.i use Adobe Lightroom 6.3 on my Mac book pro 15inch for my workflow.qusetion is will the above support the Leica SL2 ?

      Mike rosenberg replied 6 years, 8 months ago

      My mistake the Adobe Lightroom I am using is 6.12 not 6.3. Will the 6.12 support the leica sl2 ?

      • Profile picture of David Farkas
        David Farkas replied 6 years, 8 months ago

        Yes, your version of Lightroom should work ok. But… I'd highly recommend switching over to Lightroom Classic CC. It's well worth the $10/mo subscription fee to take full advantage of the latest improvements and continual updates.

      Is there now compatibility with profoto for TTL metering? I will be purchasing this camera from you, for use during events and that would fit perfectly with my profoto lights. If no is there a technical limitation or is just the companies decision?

        No Profoto integration has been announced at this point.

      Hmm. Looking at the list, I think only the googled 135 might not clear the front of the EVF bump. But otherwise, I'd think you'd be good to go on everything else.

      David, thanks for this post and also for your YouTube overview. Do you have any idea if the SL2 has ultrasonic sensor cleaning like the original SL? There's no mention off it in the SL2 manual .

      David Farkas replied 5 years, 7 months ago

      The color space only applies to JPG files, not to DNG. So, if you don't shoot JPG, there's no need to worry about it.
