    • I viewed the video on downloading firmware updates (M 10) and it looked easy….. BUT I get this message

      There is no application set to open the document “M10-P-3.21.3.50-Customer(1).FW”.

      I searched the App Store …. found Leica Acquire but it was of no help.

      Please help me

    • There is a mistake in the diagrams provided by Leica. Beginning from the sensor side there are:

      – a single element, a doublet and a single element, for a total of 13 elements, as specified in the text, in the lens cut

      – a single element and two doublets for a total of 14 elements in the technical drawing.

  • Hi after using the CL for 3 months I made the move to the SL2-S. So far I am loving it. I have both the TL lenses (23mm f2 & the 35mm f1.4). I have the Sigma 65mm f2 & 85mm f1.4. Although my favorite still is the M 50mm 1.4 Summilux/ASPH, based a few weeks of testing I much prefer the results coming out of the TL lenses on the SL2-S vs the full…[Read more]

  • Hi I recently acquired the SL2-S. The low light performance is incredible. I would say much better than the A7III/A7C. I dont have the A7SIII but I heard it's comparable. I can shoot handheld at ISO 50,000 up to 1/4 sec shutter speed and get usable results.

  • Today, Leica has announced the reissue of the legendary first-generation Noctilux-M 50mm f/1.2 ASPH lens. The first ultra-fast aperture lens from Leica to bear the designation ‘Noctilux' was introduced in 1966 […]

    • The original Noctilux f/1.2 is not a lens I've seen a lot of modern reviews of — either on YouTube or written up articles. If the optical character and charm of the original has been preserved when wide open, I am curious how this lens departs from the older one when stopped down, in order to achieve the performance Leica is claiming it delivers on today's digital sensors (coatings, modern assembly tolerances?).

      Also, for anyone who's worked with both, I am curious how the character of the lens differs from the Summilux-M ASPH (which I own and love). From these samples, it appears that the out of focus areas take on somewhat of a chaotic energy, rather than the creamy, smoothness of the Summilux.

      Would love to hear more about this and the original as samples become available for testing!

    • The photos in the sample gallery look very good. It does not look technically or unbelievably modern. I feel very good about that lens.
