    Peter Dooling wrote a new post 11 years, 10 months ago

    Today, Adobe released Camera Raw 8.7 and DNG Converter 8.7 RC (release candidate) with support for the following Leica products:

    • Leica V-Lux (Typ 114)
    • Leica SUMMICRON-S 100 mm f/2 ASPH (Leica S)

    The CC and CS6 versions of ACR are available on Adobe's website immediately.

    Hopefully this is an indicator that an Adobe Lightroom update will be coming soon with the same support.

    I would have loved to see HDMI v1.4 to carry 4K as well, but it was not possible when the MAESTRO II chip was designed for the camera.

    Regarding the audio input: the use of an external recorder is usually the preferred method with timecode syncing between the camera, the audio recorder and the timecode generator. The Audio adapter has an input…[Read more]

    I cross-posted this on a few Leica S related forums hoping to read how other Leica S users now feel about the new camera.

    Now that Photokina-storm is behind us and we’ve all had a little more time to let everything sink in, here are some of my thoughts and questions (to Leica) on the new S. The more I think about it, the more I like the new c…[Read more]

    I have a director/cine friend who has been encouraging me to always shoot video on my still landscape shots, just to provide it to video stock agencies. Haven't bothered in the past, but might with 4K on the 007. I like 4K over HD as it is a bit of future proofing. As a presentation format, I need to be inspired by seeing someone else's…[Read more]

    I'm curious how many S users are planning on taking advantage and using 4K video on the new S 007.

    Is this limited to commercial shooters or are we looking at a new presentation medium for landscape/travel as well?

    David,
    Thanks for your advice.
    There is no planned triptych here, as the images will be on individual pages in a book.
    But you are right, if there was one, I would find a way.
    The naming of the images occurs because I am uploading the files to my website first.
    Then I do a screen save from that website, and the website gives them the strange…[Read more]

    With this historic/tourist transport image, I was hoping to get a little more room in front of the horse, but fate didn't allow enough time. This is one of the smaller buggies, which carry 4 or 5 people. My only ride was on a wagon pulled by 2 mules, which seated 16 people.

    This scene I've shot before, but my first attempt here with the T/18-56. Not sure why so much noise, but I assume shooting JPEG at 8 seconds, even at ISO 100 – that's what I get. There doesn't seem to be a “Long Exposure Noise Reduction” feature like the Monochrom has, so I wonder if a firmware update could add that feature.

    Give Sherry Krauter a call: 845-496-8834.

    She is the best of the best. She has serviced my M cameras over the years and gives top notch service at reasonable prices with quick turnaround times.

    She has a website at http://www.sherrykrauter.com but call her, as she has reliability issues with her email server.
