    Gorgeous looking French Bulldog and though they are not as active as security dogs but they are attentive and energetic. Due to their friendly nature and smooth temperament, French Bulldogs have demonstrated to be very pleasing for children and elderly.

    Jack MacD replied to the topic Child Jumping in Pool in the forum Images to Share 11 years, 8 months ago

    Thanks guys.
    i had the T set on auto everything, and I learned that the T auto selects a nice low 100 ISO which provided f5.6 at 1/500. Which with a 23mm lens would normally have been fine. If I had chosen say 800 ISO I would have had a bit more speed, say 1/1500 and f 11, and had a perfect shot. The “face recognition” focus mode for some reason…[Read more]

    Ok,
    Kipper always jokingly suggests I do triptychs, so here one is.
    Joe and Gary always suggest B&W so here it is.

    I think if this is going to turn into art for huge display rather than a snap shot, I will have to return and shoot this scene with the S. The noise is showing up just a bit in the B&W version. But the T did a very good job…[Read more]

    peterv, talk about adding insult to injury!!! Leica service should be ashamed of themselves for sending that lens back to you without the latest firmware and having testing it to make sure it was functioning properly. My lens has been gone two months now. Leica told me yesterday that it was scheduled to be repaired by today. If they're on…[Read more]

    peterv replied to the topic Leica 120 mm CS: AF not working in the forum S Lenses 11 years, 8 months ago

    Hi David, thanks for asking. After it had been to Wetzlar for about 4 weeks I got my lens back, only to find that the AF was working all right, but now all my images with the 120 mm were underexposed by 1 to 1,5 stops. I made a comparison test with my 70 mm and with that lens the exposure was fine. Somehow the camera chose a shutter speed 1 to 1,5…[Read more]

    Sounds like the goodies will only be there for the S. I wonder why? Is the processor in the S2 slower, perhaps?

    rofri,
    I like this particular vantage point in this photo, and I will use my S on it next time.
    While I am an S owner, that shot was with a T. I used the 23mm T lens.

    The T was not targeted at “professional users” The S and M are. But years ago, in say sports, being an amateur was higher praise for someone than being professional. Being…[Read more]
