thanks very much, this is so helpful !

Hi Cira,
When did you last update CS5? In my version, all the Leica S profiles are there…in Lightroom 4, they have also added many M lenses… I think the profiles are ready, you might just have to download them specifically and add them. I don't believe I did this, so it might just be a matter of checking for updates and installing them that…[Read more]

Hi Stuart,

Thanks so much for your reply. CS5 has a list of 10 or so camera makers, models and lenses. Leica is not one of them. There are excellent correction options available under the Filter>Lens Correction>Custom tab. However, it would be interesting to see what changes specific S-System profiles might offer.

Very Best,
Cira

Yes Al,
I definitely used a polarizer.
I would say that using a polarizer when the clouds are this nice is a plus. Yes, much can be done in color post production but David Farkas assured me last fall that there is not yet a “polarizer filter” in Lightroom. Perhaps LR5?

However the amount of darkness of the B&W sky is easily controlled in…[Read more]

Jack,
Nice shot! Did you also use a polarizer for the sky or?

Nice! I would love to lie on one of the rocks and taking a sun bath.

I like this one Jack…the perspective reinforces the massiveness of the rocks. Good to see you're still using your ND filters. Hoping to give mine a workout next week.

I've been shooting film since 1955. I only shoot B&W and develop my own film. I switched from wet printing to scanning and inkjet printing when I found I preferred the results. My main outfit is an M6 with a 35/2 Biogon. I also have a Nikon F6, a Hasselblad and an X-100 but they don't see a lot of use.

congrats! its a great shot!

great series!

nice images!

I believe the PC-Shift was designed for the 40mm lens which becomes around 56mm after the 1.4 factor. I have the PC adapter and 40mm lens so I will give it a try and compare with the Mamiya 50mm shift lens.

Something different is an appropriate title. How well does it work?

Thanks for the feedback. 🙂

The first one is more or less straight out of cam. I guess I increased the vibrance, but thats it.

On the second one I did some cross processing.

Cheers,

Click on the filter menu, then on Lens Correction. That will open up a dialog box and a preview. On the right under auto correction, there should be a list of camera manufacturers and lens models, if it does not automatically detect it from Exif.
You might need CS5, I am not sure…

Ken Hansen in New York City would be a good place to start your search. You can contacthim by email at…

I am looking to pick up an M6 in great condition but am completely new to the Leica / rangefinder world. Looking to get some longevity out of this investment, basically I want to be able to pick a camera up in 40 years and still have it work just as the day I got it (with proper care…

The best approach to getting proper exposure using alternative lenses on the S2 is to first mount an S lens on the…[Read more]
