      Thanks David,
      You showed me some features I had yet to discover myself. The focus peaking in zoom with the ability to then see the finished result zoomed in and switching from one shot to the next still zoomed is a handy tool indeed.

      I suggest you consider also to do a video on the use of wifi control sometime. Photographers who have had live view for smaller formats for sometime may be very familiar with the magic of wifi enabled focus but I was not. Using wifi control of focus on my iPhone is certainly more handy than merely having a swingable LCD display. This of course assumes one is on a tripod for critical adjustments. It also allows me in interior architectural work to place the camera totally against a wall for maximum field of view and still see what the camera is taking via the iPhone view.

    I've had dust and stuff with the Leica Monochrom, so someone suggested shooting a cloudless sky, and look close for any spots. But that's mostly for sensor dust. For lens dust I think you should test for 2 things at least – loss of contrast, since the dust will not be visible, but the blur could lower the contrast. The second thing would be any…[Read more]

    Hi all,

    In connection with I did my camera clean today, I observed a dust grain on the inside of the front ellementet. I know with time, there will be dust in, but I have canon lenses that are many years old without any visible dust. It is to be expected, it is 2 months old, and cared it as a baby, always lens hood on.

    David Farkas replied to the topic Who plans on using 4K video? in the forum Leica S (Typ 007) 10 years, 3 months ago

    Al, the S007 is already priced considerably less than the S006 was, for a lot more features and performance.

    While I am solidly in the photos-only camp with you, I think that it does open the use of the camera to those that need high quality video some of the time, to augment still work.
