I agree Stuart. Leica has always handled my few equipment issues very fairly. I can honestly say, I will continue to be a Leica customer largely because the manner in which they have resolved issues and treated me over the years. A company can make the best products in the world, but that is worthless to me if they don't stand behind it.…[Read more]

Well, I finally got a response on my lens (my local dealer works via a distributor in another country, so it took much longer than normal to get this organized…I will be sending it direct from now on), and Leica said that there was something wrong with it, and they were replacing it. So we'll see. I will get the replacement by Wednesday, I hope.…[Read more]

David,

What frustrates me was I offered it after searching for options, and within months of all my inquiries and selling the R lenses, they…[Read more]

This is correct. The SF 58 won't fire in TTL on the S2, only TTL-HSS.

Have you tried A mode yet? I'm not sure if each flash will self-meter, but…[Read more]

I've seen allready your thread in the LFI, I'm almost sure that there should be a way to use multple SF58 in TTL – mode (TTL HSS is almost the same just for different purposes/shutter speeds) when you set one as master and the other as slave.

Seems I have to answer myself: I have done some experimenting with 2 SF 58's, and the short answer is: Manual mode on the camera flash + M-slave mode…[Read more]

any mono users experiencing long delays after several exsposures? im waiting up to 3 minutes before i can shoot ? using a 32g card so that might be it?

Testing with the HC 210 that I bought second hand recently, as a cheaper alternative to the Leica 180mm (on the assumption that I would not be using this focal length all that often). Fast and accurate focusing, no problems whatsoever. Also makes the loud clicking sound that Marc describes, when used in the leaf shutter mode – but it works fine.…[Read more]

Thanks for the comments. Although I haven't picked up my M in a couple of months, I'll keep it instead of selling it.

Has anyone tried Litepanel's Incas or Solas (or any LED equivalent fresnels)? I've been wondering about the power output. We're about to make an investment in lighting and are figuring that LED is the way to go if the technology is there yet.

I will add that as the ISO is increased the max shutter speed decreases.

125 Seconds.

Set the shutter speed dial to B, then depress the thumb wheel. All the times will show on the screen.

Whatever position Leica takes with regard to the upgrade…it needs to happen sooner rather than later. I see no reason for delaying a clear and concise announcement regarding this issue.

I registered all my lenses and never got a voucher or what ever.

I don't get the argument about used lenses. When Leica sold the first S-lenses to the customers, they made a clear statement that they will upgrade those lenses for the price difference (mostely 1000 Euro) later once the CS-option is available (and they were talking about…[Read more]

Very nice Pete, thanks for sharing. B&W works very well here.
