Excellent all!! The colors seem especially vibrant and saturated. Any special settings?

Here is a mini review from Manila and Kurt Kamka.

He and a friend worked it pretty well. I was impressed that he was using face detection in fast grab shots with a wide open lens.

I have done some shooting with Kurt and greatly appreciate the quality of his work.
He has an M,…[Read more]

At times we can and do have a glimpse into instances that have not yet happened and though it can be a brief insight, the implications are amazing and astounding. Not everyone will have these little occurrences but they do happen for some. Intuition is such that you know something prior to it happening.

This is beautiful pics about fashion. I like the blue dress- the last one. It transitions smoothly and does not distract from the image. I can't stand lenses that are a swirly mess.

Aboud,
Had the same problem with my 30, would not focus to infinity in AF mode. It ended up back in Solms for a tuneup.

Looks like your lens will get to visit the new factory in Wetzlar. Contact Kelsey Fain and maybe she can arrange a loaner for you.

Very nice images, aboudd. The X2 images are amazing.

With that said, the LF1 battery is dmw-bcn10 while the Leica battery is bp-dc14-u. Both are 3.7v 950mAh. The Panasonic battery runs about 1/3rd the price of the…

I decided to travel light when visiting our son at college in Boston. I took only the X2 with me and I wasn't disappointed.

From the above info, you know I have the super back pack when I am hiking for the day.

But what about when I just want a small carrying bag?
If I have the camera in the car, I want some basic protection and some pockets for extra stuff. I don't need water proof and I don't need thick padding. This Tumi day pack bag is my answer, and it is…[Read more]

Here is the handheld shot of Gary at 1/30th that I was referring to in an earlier post quoted below:

This was shot inside a restaurant. The light was coming from the back through an open wall. f5.6 ISO 640 90mm.

Camera forums are rife with complaints about the price of replacement batteries, and I always recommend carrying at least a second battery so shooting can continue if the first battery runs down. Contrary to what many people suggest – saving money with third-party batteries, I consider the price difference and if it's…

Jesus, I am not sure about the correct version of ACR. However, I have Lightroom 5.4 and it has profiles for the S 45mm. There may be a way to correlate the Lightromm version with the ACR version on the Adobe website.

Thank you for sharing!

Excellent work!

images, finally! thanks!

I've experimented and found that if I fit the Grip, I can hand hold for 2 stops longer in the portrait mode.

This is my finding too! I can't use the S2 without the grip properly. But i do mostly portraits anyway.

For those of you using or just trying this lens, pay attention to where you are holding the…

what is the shutter-replacement programm? did I miss something?

If you own the pocketwizzards it may also be an idea to adjust the synctimes manually. maybe they open to late or close to early, this can be set manually to adjust it to the needs of the camera

this is an old complaint about this lens, in fact I suggested a focus limiter allready one week after I had it. It is one reason why I don't use this lens anymore for portrait work.

Instead, I use the Hasselblad 100/2.2 and the 150/3.5 with the HC-adapter, and they are great lenses for the S.

My wish is that one day they will make…[Read more]

It's great that Leica brought along a T so everyone on the workshop could try it out.

David,
I will admit that I tried to make the system take a bad picture (technically) but it was very difficult. The only thing I wish were better is the image stabilization feature. With Olympus, the 5 axis…[Read more]

Mark Gowin;6340 wrote: Hi David, I notice that the majority of the images you posted are from the zoom and only one from the 23mm. The zoom looks to be really good. So much so, the main reason for getting the 23mm would be for speed and smaller size. Of course, I bet the IQ of the 23mm is better than the zoom, but maybe not by a whole lot. What…
