  • One of the most significant changes in the Leica S (Typ 007) over the previous S (Typ 006) and S2 is the addition of Live View functionality. While purists might consider LV to be an extraneous and gimmicky […]

    • 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.

  • After a few iterations of Beta plug-ins from Adobe, we now have full and stable tethering support for the Leica S (Typ 007) in Lightroom. The functionality isn't natively in Lightroom yet, so don't be looking for […]

  • Hopefully there will be a section or subforum for the X-U, so when mine arrives I can post first images.

  • 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.

    The pix is great…[Read more]

  • Leica has released a new firmware version for the T (Typ 701) camera: version 1.5. The firmware adds a major new feature that allows users to connect an iOS or Android device directly to the T via Wi-Fi, instead […]

  • 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.

  • Glad you are enjoying the new SL!

  • PC Sync Cord

    Not that none of you has thought of this but it has not been mentioned. The obvious answer is to hard wire the camera to the flash.

  • In the latest updates from Adobe, Lightroom CC 2015.4  and v6.4 for those on standalone versions, official support for Leica X-U (Typ 113) and Leica M (Typ 262) DNG files have been added. Photoshop Camera Raw 9.4 […]

    • Congratulations!
      Excellent report, beautiful pics. The cyclist riding in the yellow morning fog and the very last pic are my favorite ones.
      I guess I'm a dyed-in-the-wool M user and will thus not get excited about the SL. But it nonetheless seems to be a fascinating piece of technology.
      Greetings from Sao Paulo …

    • David,
      Excellent review.
      I am a S2 and M240 MP owner.
      Im on the fence with the SL.
      Still love my S and M system, yet as I get older it would sure be nice to have AF or a good EVF option for my M system.

    • Simon,

      The SL can certainly be used in a studio environment. But you are correct that that you need to turn off exposure simulation so that you don't get a black frame with typical strobe settings. To disable Exposure Preview, just go to the second page of the camera menu and set Exp. Preview to Off. Hope this helps.
