Excellent post, I very much enjoyed reading this article! I have a Q and love it. I agree with you about it being an great travel camera. I read that you were using some filters with it. I've not tried to use any filters with mine yet, which ones did you have a chance to try out on the trip?
-
Thanks Scott! I brought a 6-stop B+W ND filter. I knew I'd be in touristy places with lots of people, so I used it to achieve longer shutter speeds and blur out crowds. Worked well!

One of my favorite eateries, especially because of the soothing colors and decor.

I thought I did fairly good with this harbor and wetland shot, but it has a lot of purple fringing and my primitive editor can't fix it as good as I'd like.

Today, Leica Camera has officially launched the Leica APO-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90-280mm f/2.8-4 lens in the USA. Priced at $6,395, the lens is expected to ship in April. This will be the second SL-system lens r […]

What would be a compact elegant leica-like camera if only for the fact that the only thing made for the front of it are metal munching monster lenses. They promised a 50mm normal i think…. thats the lens which should have come out. Whats needed is a pancake 40mm. Hold the blueberries… make is short stack..
-
I'm sure there will plenty of primes to come, starting with the 50 f/1.4 Summilux-SL coming later this year. In order to cover the widest range of focal lengths, the two zooms were launched first.
-
-
Yes, the 90-280 SL has a very nicely designed rotating, detachable tripod collar. There is a knob to lock the rotation and a knob with safety release for the tripod food.

The collar is part of the lens. The foot is removable.

Just another Leica X-U photo – I really like the detail and look of these, as they remind me of the images from another camera I loved – the Leica X1. I had to go behind a police barrier to get this perspective, as one of the pathways in this public park system has been closed for 2 years due to city and county councils arguing over who is…[Read more]

Mark, unfortunately, the distance scale is only available in meters, even on v3.0.0.0. I made a request/suggestion during my initial testing for the scale to be in feet as well.
David,
Thanks for the walk through.
An easy update. Surprised they jumped from calling it a 2.xxx all the way to 3.0.0.0..0000
I expect 3.00.001 to convert meters into feet. And what other suggestions did you make that they may include on 3.00.002?
I like that it will update my old lenses “automatically” so I will be good to go as soon as the S 350mm is announced.
Thorough and concise!
Thanks, David!
