rofri replied to the topic Leica 120 mm CS: AF not working in the forum S Lenses 11 years, 8 months ago

I reported on June 30, 2014 (post 4768) that the autofocus on my 120 mm lens failed. It has since been repaired in Wetzlar. Now the same thing happend with my 35 mm (all non-CS). This time the lens was returned within about three weeks.
I wonder when my other lenses (70 and 180 mm) will go off line. The failure rate is very disturbing. How can you…[Read more]

Bob, I won't disagree that you can clean the sensor very well, but based on everything I've seen and read, it won't stay perfectly clean for a full shoot unless you don't change lenses. Assuming of course the entire interior is spotless along with the sensor. I'd like to hear how it goes when the OP gets it where he wants it and then goes to…[Read more]

Dale,

I would like to respecfully disagree…have been cleaning sensors since the Nikon D70 and not had a problem…yes you may use a half box of wipes but in 30 minutes you are
done and have the camera at your side not…on the way to or from NJ or Solms.

Need to exercise a bit of discretion and a modicum of physical acuity and…[Read more]

I didn't try cleaning the ‘S', but when I cleaned the Monochrom, after using a blower, a lot of stuff just wouldn't clean up. My inquiries got me the following advice: “Send to Leica for cleaning – the M series shutter etc. throws a lot of stuff onto the sensor” – quote approximate. The thing is, unless you're already an expert in cleaning those…[Read more]

I've found that shooting a plain blue sky, or plain white sky possibly, then viewing at 100 percent, you can see even the smallest dust.

My first butterfly with the Leica D-Lux(109) — the original image was 4112 pixels wide, which I cropped to 2200 wide and resized up slightly. I thought this was a really good example of image quality given the crop to only 3.6 mp.

Leica D-Lux(109), f5.6, 1/500 handheld, ISO…[Read more]

You have a big ol' sensor spot to the right of the rightmost building, and a few smaller spots. Excellent photos though!!
dalethorn started the topic Day no. 2 with the D-Lux typ109 in the forum Leica D-Lux 11 years, 8 months ago

Second day's images and impressions of the Leica D-Lux typ109 (twin of the Panasonic LX100). A couple things that I hope are fixed in new firmware are: 1) There's no ability to turn the camera on in playback mode AFAIK, which can lead to problems…. 2) The zoom resume feature causes a problem at turn-on when using the lenscap string when the…[Read more]

I sent a request for a detailed comparison of the S typ 007 and the S-E (both new models I presume). Given the astounding price difference, there must be significant compromises with the S-E, and I'd like to see the complete list.

  The S-E has a one year warrantee vs three for the type 007
  The S-E is really the same as the former type 006 introduced two years ago
  The S-E is CCD sensor, the type 007 is CMOS so it has live view and higher ISO.
  The 007 can take 4K video, etc. etc.

My first photos (taken as JPEG only) with the new Leica D-Lux (typ 109) – these were taken in a gloomy rainy environment, approximately 20 minutes before sunset, albeit the clouds were so thick that it wasn't possible to see where the Sun actually was. The tree resolved well given the flat lighting, but the landscape foliage didn't fare so well.…[Read more]
