    Hello
    Sadly, I gave up and had to purchase a semi-used SL2, as the SL was stopping and staring when it came to tethering. Based on articles and feedback that I have received, the SL isn't up for tethering. Perhaps if Leica develops a desktop version of their app, maybe the SL will be fine.

    I was just gifted a new Q2M and can't get the latest Lightroom Classic (Adobe Cloud Photo Plan) software to show the camera dng or jpeg file images on my M1 Mac OS Big Sur 11.5.2.

    “Preview Unavailable For This File” shown after import from sd card into LR 10.4 Camera Raw 13.4. Advice?

    Thank you!

    Is this common occurrence for the 240 to underexpose the shots? My point and shoot camera gets the correct exposure every time while the expensive Leica is consistently underexposed.

    I think its time to let my 240 go. It is beautiful and works great. Beautiful patina! Comes with thumb rest, battery, original box, original strap and charger, Has body cap as well. Patch is clean
    Can send photos to serious buyers.

    I don't know what I'm doing wrong but my images are underexposed by at least two stops. I am using the classic exposer setting for the light meter.

    You already have a digital SL2. So digital is not new to you. You are right that you may not use the M6 as much if you had a digital M. If for no other reason than speed of processing the photos. With digital it is almost instantaneous. Then there is the cost of film processing, even if you develop yourself there is a cost not incurred with…[Read more]
