Hi everyone, I think it's a really good that David started this thread about video in the new S.
First, there is a lot of technical aspects to video/motion and some may benefit from watching this video here:

It's 40 minutes, but quiet helpful to anyone who is new to this.

Me too Tim!
Just decided right after the Photokina announcements … and got it
After the move to CMOS for the (007), and not liking the cosmetics of the SE, I decided to grab a (006) while a new one could be had.
Sold the S2P to a friend for a good price, and the move cost me less than I expected, so it was a no brainer. Three more years of c…[Read more]

Plato would have taken this picture if he had an S
Zoom lens, wide to 30mm.

David,
After browsing in the new layout for quite some time I think I have a clear opinion about the new look and feel. In general I like the new approach with the header including News, Reviews etc. Nicely presented, worth to continue reading. Even more worth for the community to add own articles as they are not that hidden anymore. Nicely…[Read more]

David K replied to the topic Processing S 006 DNG files in the forum Leica S (Typ 006) 11 years, 9 months ago
I use LR for basic adjustments and then move into Photoshop for things like skin retouching, etc. From a workflow perspective LR and Photoshop work seamlessly. Right click on an image in LR, choose edit in Photoshop, make the edits, close and save and the finished image is back in LR. From there I export it in the format and size needed. I…[Read more]

Great question, Giorgio. I use Lr for my processing and during import I apply my personal S2 preset with the following:
White balance As Shot
Clarity +7
Vibrance +4
Everything else at zeroSharpening: 40, 1,0, 30, 10 and Noise Reduction: 7, 50, 0, 25, 50, 50
I have Enable Profile Corrections checked, and that's it. These settings are just a…[Read more]

I have been a long time user of ACR and Phocus, I don't use (have owned it since inception) LightRoom on a regular basis.
Just wondering what software are you using to process DNG files from your S camera? Do you use a custom color profile, or any other non standard processes?
Let me know.
Thank you,

Bob,
My impression is that the video quality from the S 007 will be superior and more purpose-driven than that of the M 240. Still, the M40 video does actually look pretty good. We filmed our entire video instruction series on the S 006 with the M 240. You can view the series here.
You are correct that there is no image stabilization for…[Read more]

David K started the topic Sunrise Juno Pier in the forum Images to Share 11 years, 9 months ago
When I'm shooting sunrise photos I almost always use strobes. Thought I'd try something different for this image since it was intended to be more of a product shot than to showcase the model. I've got three potential clients interested in the shot…one sells yoga pants, another has a line of “clean” beverages and snacks and the third is rolling…[Read more]

I am considering the new S for its video allowing the flexibility of a single uni for photos and video. However I read about the M's video limitaitons and will wait and look forward to evaluating the S's capabilities. I would use it hand-held in some situations and the lack of optical stabilization is a concern. I am wondering how large…[Read more]

dalethorn replied to the topic When memory cards die in the forum Memory and Storage 11 years, 9 months ago
I've been using many flash memory cards since 1994. In the mid-2000's I had a couple of corrupted cards and a few people I knew also had corrupted cards – compact flash and SD cards. All of those I recovered with Windows 98, since the Windows NT/2000/XP and newer O/S versions (as well as Mac) could not read those cards.
Since then I've lost a…[Read more]

Wikipedia defines “Bokeh (usually pronounced Boc-ah) as the blur or aesthetic quality of the blur, in the out-of-focus areas of an image. The term comes from the Japanese word boke, which means “blur” or “haze […]

I just bought a late (491xxx) Xenon 5cm f1.5, tested it on the M Monochrom- this lens is optimized for F1.5 across range. The Summarit- optimized for F2.8 at 1m, and f1.5 at infinity. Of the 5 Summarits that I've disassembled (to clean), all were scribed “51.1”on the barrel, viewed when removed from the focus mount. The Xenon aperture seems to be designed to minimize focus shift due to spherical aberration, the Summarit Focal Length seems to take it into account.
We tested the 50 APO along with about 20 other 50mm lenses at the LHSA (The International Leica Society) meeting in Detroit this past weekend. Bill and I did a live bokeh shootout, tethering the M240 to Lightroom on my computer, which was connected to a projector. It was very interesting to see such noticeable differences in the lenses. Long story short: the 50 APO was among the very best performers, if not the best of all the lenses we tested.
There is noctilux 0.95, which I shoot very often. But my favorite is the Canon 50/1. 2 M39 from 1963. In my opinion, this lens has an exceptional pattern.
