      When you click the link, the firmware file should download to your computer. Once complete, you drag the single file named CL___40_.lfu to your SD card. Make sure that it isn't in a folder, but at the top level of your SD card.

    This question is for David Farkas or anyone else that has the answer. I have a Leica SL. I am attempting to utilize back button focusing. According to your You Tube presentation, in the main menu>Focus Mode>AFs,AFc,MF, activate MF and the toggle control will perform not only AF but also will permit moving the focus point around the EVF screen.

    HI All this is my first post here. I just got a CL and am using some old Pentax glass on it and the experience is sublime! I am absolutely loving the whole thing. The camera is great but mated with my old lenses its a whole new thing. I do need to get a wider lens and am considering the Voigtlander Ultron 21mm f/1.8 with an adapter. I really dont…[Read more]

Even though the freezing problem was random and very hard to reproduce, they agreed to send the camera to Germany, and during this time they lent me a brand new Leica…[Read more]
