    So I have been shooting with a Sony A7riii for since its been out and a Sony shooter for 5 years. I used to shoot small events like concerts but recently being older and in college I tend to shoot only landscape, lifestyle, and portraits. So basically I shoot a lot of stills or photos with minimal movement. Has anyone made the switch from Sony to…[Read more]

    I bought a 50mm Summilux ASPH a few weeks ago from Tamarkin and it appeared that the rangefinder won’t focus at infinity, and the focusing scale is off by like a meter (measured against a tap measure). I sent it back to Tamarkin for them to test and they said that they tested on 5 of their cameras and it focus fine, even at infinity (They are r…[Read more]

    Hello,

    I just got a Leica m-a, and want to know if it will show brassing over time. If it is black chrome like M7, I know it would not show brass, but I just read a review that M-A is made out of brass and matte black paint over(?)

    Is this true?

    I read reviews on Kenrock said optical is the same, V4 have focusing tab, V5 have built in hood and 6 bit. Is V5 have more modern coating compare V4? And one more question how Summicron IQ render compare Summilux?

    I think I'm going to need to use zone focussing as the RF VF is so dim on the 3F I have. Is this likely to be fixed/improved/made useable by a professional CLA ?

    Can it use and last for at least 10 years?

    Same quality sensor as M10?

    Hey so I'm super attracted to the Leica Q. Everything I've read about it seems overwhelmingly positive. I know it's relatively crap at videos and JPEGs, but I don't want it for those things. My two reservations are of course 1) it's expensive, and 2) you're stuck with the 28mm lens.

But now I’ve changed jobs and just have it for personal work (portaits and street photography). I know it’s still a great camera, but it’s just not “fun” to shoot and a lot more than I really need.
