    Hello David and Josh! Sadly I got my answer, “Auto” or “A” mode took the reflected ambient/metered light reading from my subject, and even though I had set-up with “Auto ISO,” the lens opened up to f/1.7 because of the weaker reflected/ambient light from my subject… I should have controlled my Depth of Field by utilizing “Aperture-P…[Read more]

    Hello David, I am disappointed and confused… I shot an entire photo session with my Leica Q in Auto Mode… all of the images ended up being shot at f/1.7 with of course, extremely shallow depth of field. My set up was Auto ISO, so I thought depth of field and camera motion would have been compensated for by constantly changing ISO to optimum…[Read more]

    The sensor was beginning to de-laminate, the same problem that dogged the M9. While I haven't heard that the problem was systemic, mine was clearly not an aberration as Leica owned up to it, no questions asked. And it's been terrific ever since.

    I do use wireless flash triggers. Mine are Visatec and Vello. I can also use a speedlight. Pocket…[Read more]

      It's essentially a modern MATE with a camera attached. The 50mm view is at 15MP, slightly lower than the MM v.1 and a slightly-faster-than 50 Summicron.

      35mm is already 24 MP.

      It's a fast angle tri-elmar (FATE) attached to a sensor. At 28mm, full resolution, 35 @ 24MP and 50 @ 15MP. Exceptional to adequate

    Well, I used the 007 at ISO 3,200 again, but the reason was I needed it to be able to use motion capturing of water at 1/400 sec f8 in this Triptych set.
