Activity

I finished a project a few weeks ago shooting iconic Washington venues from a helicopter. I used the Leica S2 with a 120MM and a gyro stabilizer for all of the daytime shots. I had to use a Canon 1Dx with the higher clean ISO for the evening photos. You can see the collection at my web site- use this link to get to the Above Washington gallery –

Happy New Year everyone! I'm also new to this forum, my first post here. I shoot a fair amount of film, and it's about 90% of all I do (my wife is the true digital SLR shooter, I just follow in her steps a little). I have a lot of gear, being Leica, Pentax and Yashica. I also have a small darkroom!

My small Leica collection consists of a…[Read more]

By the way there are some cmos which looks fine to me. The A900, the K5 looks ok and the 5dIII is not…

I was wondering how often anyone rents either Leica M9s and/or lenses.

I come from the film industry where obviously we pretty much only rent bodies and lenses and I am…

I had the X1, and currently have the D-Lux6, C-112, and Monochrom/Noctilux. My opinion is that the difference in sensor size may be important if ultimate resolution is critical, but for most purposes, the difference between a fixed 35 mm focal length and the 24-90 mm zoom is a very big difference. If I were set on having the zoom and still wanted…[Read more]

Thank you. That was the point of those images, to concentrate on the
outline, the geometric shapes, patterns or symbolism and not necessarily on photo-realistic detail.
Pre-visualized, so in some cases purposely over-exposed or under-exposed
to prepare for the presentation.

This is the first I have seen of Leica plans for the sinar system..

Excellent series and I favour the third if ever there was a need to state a preference. The installation shot is very special as we rarely see such shots.

Look forward to your tutorial on printing. 😮

David K,
The last photograph is the one that sold, twice now.
Once in a B&W enlarged to 5 feet by 7.5 feet. and installed above a living room so the looking up is actually looking up. The photo is by the client just after installation before the lights were adjusted.

A second sale was in color 24″x36″ is installed in an office in San…[Read more]

If you have a non-6-bit coded lens and use manual lens selection in the menu, then change to a 6-bit coded lens but forget to set the lens selection setting back to auto, you will get the wrong lens data. I would prefer that if you are in manual mode and mount a 6-bit coded lens, the camera would either override your manual selection, or pop up an…[Read more]

Bobby,

I agree with you about the MF Handgrip M's straight back cable and USB port location. May I suggest TetherTools TetherPro Mini B USB Right Angle Cable Adapter (Item #: CU5462RT). This angled adapter is designed to extend to the left side of the MF Handgrip M. I have also seen USB Micro-B Male Right Angle (Down Position) to Female…[Read more]
