    Not that none of you has thought of this but it has not been mentioned. The obvious answer is to hard wire the camera to the flash.

    • Congratulations!
      Excellent report, beautiful pics. The cyclist riding in the yellow morning fog and the very last pic are my favorite ones.
      I guess I'm a dyed-in-the-wool M user and will thus not get excited about the SL. But it nonetheless seems to be a fascinating piece of technology.
      Greetings from Sao Paulo …

    • David,
      Excellent review.
      I am a S2 and M240 MP owner.
      Im on the fence with the SL.
      Still love my S and M system, yet as I get older it would sure be nice to have AF or a good EVF option for my M system.

    • Simon,

      The SL can certainly be used in a studio environment. But you are correct that that you need to turn off exposure simulation so that you don't get a black frame with typical strobe settings. To disable Exposure Preview, just go to the second page of the camera menu and set Exp. Preview to Off. Hope this helps.

  • I love my SL with the 24-90mm lens. Waiting for the new 50mm 1.4 lens will take to the end of the year.
    In march/april the new 35mm (50mm) 1,4 TL is coming. If I take a picture with my M8 it gives me 10.5mb with great results.
    Is there anybody who has experience with T lenses on the SL?
    Thanks for any answer,
    Gerjan van Asch

  • Today, Leica has announced a new addition to the X System: The X-U (Typ 113).

    This is Leica's first go at an underwater and shockproof adventure camera, and it looks to be quite the first effort. Based off of […]

    • Girogo,

      The X-U can be submerged to 15m for 60 minutes. 2m shouldn't be an issue whatsoever.

      Leica Store Miami should have the cameras in stock very shortly, so you'd certainly be able to get one for your assignment.

  • Here's a type of image that I rarely post, since the quality isn't the best. But I took it on the street at night through a plate glass window, and in spite of using ISO 200, there's more noise than I expected, due to the lack of good lighting. I thought it had a kind of “Home Sweet Home” look, and that made it a keeper.

  • After using and shooting my M6 ttl and M8 (50mm 2.0/ 35mm 1.4/90mm/2.0) for many years and even still using film I bought an SL 2 weeks ago.
    Everybody is getting older and even with a 1.25 magnifier taking pictures was more difficult. Doing street photo's with the M (ISO 640 A 11.0 and distance 1.5m) gave me great results.
    So after trying street…[Read more]

  • The USS Yorktown is anchored there, with more WW2 ships and a submarine behind it. They're great for a tour.

    The alligator in the pond loves pets, all sizes included, so a tough German Shepherd or Pitbull is just another lunch.

  • I like the pond with the invisible alligator! He would have a duck dinner, I guess…
    In the shot just above, is that an aircraft carrier moored up there close to shore? I'm surprised the water is deep enough!
