Just another Leica X-U photo – I really like the detail and look of these, as they remind me of the images from another camera I loved – the Leica X1. I had to go behind a police barrier to get this perspective, as one of the pathways in this public park system has been closed for 2 years due to city and county councils arguing over who is…[Read more]

Here was a tricky one – the sun is just a hair above the bridge, and you can see a slight red flare at the top of the image. I provided the pseudo-lens-hood with one hand, and since the camera is relatively light and easy to grip, made the shot (burst) with the other hand. I always shoot bursts when possible, and I look at each frame on the…[Read more]

The wind was blowing hard, so I needed to set the shutter to 1/2000 second.

I didn't necessarily intend to shoot this flower at f3.2, but the wind was blowing a lot and I needed a very high shutter speed, so there it is….

Great work, Albert! Unmistakably Leica S quality, you’ve got some gems in this series.

Many thanks!

I love your work.
Nice to see a fine photographer with a fine camera.
The two lenses, 24 and 30-90 are about all you need for a trip.
The 120 would be the third for me. -
Great Works!

Absolutely stunning and extremely inspirational! Thank you for sharing your efforts.

Thank you for your comments…
I would suggest that you rent, beg or steal a 24mm.. You will not be disappointed. It is their best lens!

Today's photos (shot as JPEGs) with the Leica X-U: Stairway of parking deck in B&W. Sunset on average white balance (haven't worked out color temp yet, and there are no ‘scenes'). Wetland with grayish sky.
My impression of the X-U is that it does extremely well as a regular camera, ignoring (for now) the underwater feature.

My first image with the Leica X-U (X-underwater) camera. Shot as JPEG only on dry land – a spontaneous take in a local public park deli. I think the X-U does well at ISO 800. I should have some underwater pics in a couple of weeks. BTW, this camera has no jack for a USB connection.
Leica X-U, f1.8, 1/250 handheld, ISO 800.

What would be a compact elegant leica-like camera if only for the fact that the only thing made for the front of it are metal munching monster lenses. They promised a 50mm normal i think…. thats the lens which should have come out. Whats needed is a pancake 40mm. Hold the blueberries… make is short stack..
I'm sure there will plenty of primes to come, starting with the 50 f/1.4 Summilux-SL coming later this year. In order to cover the widest range of focal lengths, the two zooms were launched first.
Yes, the 90-280 SL has a very nicely designed rotating, detachable tripod collar. There is a knob to lock the rotation and a knob with safety release for the tripod food.
The collar is part of the lens. The foot is removable.
