    Hi everyone – I'm a newbie to this forum (as of this week), but not new to the joys of the mirrorless Leicas.

    I've owned a Q for almost 2 years and love its simplicity & output. But I've had a few Voigtlanders to use with a Fujifilm X-H1 and thought they would be better utilised on a full frame mirrorless – i.e. Leica SL. After a few dealings, I…[Read more]

    Having owned a Leica Q for 2 years and really loving it, I bought a pre-owned SL during early lockdown. This was because I had a few Voigtlander lenses which I used with a Fujifilm X-H1 – and I wanted to make better use of them. What an understatement that is! The Voigt 21mm f3.5 (M) and Voigt 58mm f1.8 (F) are exceptional and so relatively easy…[Read more]

    Hello,

    I have read the online manual and searched other articles, but I cannot for the life of me figure out the significance of the square icon near the shutter speed dial on top of the Leicameter MC. Does anyone have any feedback?

    Thanks in advance

      The 50 Lux focus speed has been improved significantly with subsequent lens firmware updates following release. Is it bigger than the 50 APO-Summicron? Absolutely, but the Lux offers a truly unique rendering among SL lenses.
