Just got a call from Leica technical support and this is a known issue, probably fixable with a firmware update, no update on the horizon though.

Thanks, Scott, really nice series. There is just something about manikins that fascinates, and may say something about the rest of us!

I hadn't thought of Mannequins as a still-life subject, but these are fabulous, in a word. The next best that I've seen is in a youtube video — Pretty in Pink by Psychedelic Furs, “Berlin Mix” — the person who made the video photographed numerous customized dolls in a series of indoor and outdoor settings, and it has to be seen to appreciate…[Read more]

Hello AnGy
It was me buying your 70mm, I don´t know if you want to sell to me, but if you do, lets talk about that.
A new 120mm costs 3999€, so if I am to buy, we need to agree on a price that will satisfy both of us, 3100€ is too much, I think.
please let me know how we proceed.
Thank you very much
Jan

These images have a near-perfect range of colors and contrast, which brings to mind the erstwhile Kodak Moment, where everything ‘clicks' literally and figuratively. While I don't subscribe to the Kodak Instamatic philosophy, I keep it in mind as a thought for simplicity and aesthetics, and I think that's going to drive ‘T' sales. I'm not swayed…[Read more]

Thanks guys for your kind words, they are very much appreciated!

The New England trip was a great opportunity for me to meet my new Leica mates, talk shop and share images, many fond memories.

Perhaps it is time for a ‘Get the Band Back Together' event?

Thanks for posting this Jack. Like you guys I have fond memories of our New England trip and Joe. Great guy as well as a talented photographer.

Congratulations, Joe. I wished I could have made it out to attend your gallery opening. Although I have seen several of the show images before, there is nothing like seeing them printed large and lit properly. More importantly, I wanted to show my support for your work. It is a lot of fun to shoot with you and watch your contemplative and studied…[Read more]

Thanks, I have posted this on that thread. There was no mention of Elinchrom triggers, so I just wanted to ask.

I have a set of Elinchrom Quadra Hybrid Li-ion Action Heads (with flash duration up to 1/4000th sec) triggered by an Elinchrom Skyport Speed trigger. I am thinking of buying a S(006) body and a 70CS lens with the discount before the new rumoured CMOS S version TBC at Photokina.

Does anyone know if I will be able to use the 1/1000 flash sync…[Read more]

Thanks – with the T you do have to develop some steadying techniques. Fortunately, around the house or in town there's usually something to brace against. It makes me really respect the guys from the 30's to 70's with the non-stabilized film cameras.

Be quick, most probably gone next wednesday.

Following Capture Integration dealer it is possible to work on 1/1000s sync speed with the Pocketwizard III plus. Their ‘speed' mode does work to 1/1000s even if the specs state 1/500s max. The only other model compatible with 1/1000s in the PW range are the expensive MultiMax.

What came as a bit of a surprise to me was the operation of the ‘T'. It's easy enough once you get used to it, but in my experience it still requires paying some attention to the camera, as I pay attention when shooting an ‘M' camera. It's not the same thing, and not the same type of user attention necessarily, but instead of being a “camera for…[Read more]

Bob,

Congrats on your new Move pack…you're going to love it. After shelling out the $$ to upgrade to CS lenses I've been frustrated by not being able to utilize their higher sync speed capabilities until now. I recently found out the hard way that 1/125th sync speed is sometimes insufficient to freeze motion when shooting handheld with a…[Read more]

David,

I am following this closely as my Move 1200 pack arrived this past week…upgrade from the
Mobil LED set.

Have not had a chance to use it yet but could not pass up the extra battery and the RFS2
transmitter…not the Profoto AIR but better than the RFS original.

Bob

Marc,

Looks like it's 4.5…and the two outlets are fully asymmetrical.
