    Hi guys,

    New here. I just had the same thing happen to me with a BRAND NEW 70mm lens. This is a pretty big red flag for me and not a good start to owning a new system.
    I love Leica, I just wish they'd get things right… Hopefully my replacement lens never has this problem.

    Your question is a bit confusing.

    When you say “Profoto airplay” do you mean Profoto AIR Transceiver or Profoto AIR Sync?

    Profoto AIR and Pocket Wizard are not compatible. One cannot trigger the other. Only Profoto AIR Receiver is built into the B1,
    which means you will need a Pocket Wizard plugged into the Profoto B1.

    So yes, you will need…[Read more]

    I have a Leica S (006) and am starting to shoot more indoor portrait type photos. I have a Profoto B-1. When I bought the Profoto I bought the Profoto airplay and it works flawlessly (although not TTL) on the Leica S. I also use the Leica Corded remote. Lately I thought it would be nice to fire the Leica and the Profoto from across the…[Read more]

    I don't often post a product image, but here's one I did today that I'm slightly proud of (shot as JPEG only). I don't get much DOF with the small camera at f1.7, so to get the relevant parts in focus requires lining things up ahead of time, more-or-less equidistant. It's hard for me to get a good background since I like to stay in the context…[Read more]

    I think that a 90mm-250mm zoomlens would be a great idea but even at say f/5.6, I fear that it would be to heavy for easy use.
    I look forward to a 300mm f/3.5 lens..
    I have been looking forward to that lens now for 3 years but I am patient…
