    Unkei started the topic D-Lux 7 vs Type 109 Controls in the forum Leica D-Lux 6 years, 9 months ago

    Hello all,
    I just ordered a new D-Lux 7 from Leica. I have had Kindle Photographers Guide To (insert model) Leica Digital Camera. At this point the same book is not offered for the D-Lux 7, but is offered for the Type 10. My question to those in the know, is are the two cameras physical controls more or less identical? In other words, would I be…[Read more]

    TobinTelder started the topic Full frame or cropped sensor lens? in the forum General Leica Discussion 6 years, 9 months ago

    Is there a difference in the lens moutning. I see on my Canon 550D (cropped sensor) there is a red dot and a white square where i can mount different lens.

    I’m not new to cameras so of course I would do the “normal” review of buttons, battery, etc., so more specifically,https://www.newsesp.com/best-ssd-for-gaming/ I’m curious about things like “rangefinder alignment issues” which I’m clueless about. So any thoughts on that, or other particular areas to review would be helpful from more experienced M users.
